Changes Must Happen
Waking up, Seven was exactly where she predicted to be: the Brig. She waited a few seconds for the Captain and Chakotay to arrive.
Before either of them had the chance to talk, Seven answered the question the Captain hadn't asked yet. "I am feeling fine. I know the Borg Cube is still following us, I know they don't need our help and I am not hallucinating."
The Captain and Chakotay shared confused looks.
"How did you?" The Captain asked, unable to see how Seven could see what was coming.
"The same way I did this afternoon in Sickbay." Seven answered. The Captain looked to Chakotay for confirmation as he was there and he nodded positively.
"You need to listen to me. The Borg want me back and they want Voyager assimilated. Voyager will be destroyed if you fight. Deck 11 gets disattached to the ship, B'Elanna Torres among many others die. A few minutes later, the Borg destroy the rest of the ship." Seven finished.
"And you've seen this?" Captain Janeway breathed, unable to believe what she was hearing.
"Yes. Tuvok needs you on the bridge and you will command to slow to impulse." Seven predicted.
"Tuvok to Captain Janeway." Tuvok said.
"He has made some developments with the Borg Cube." Seven answered the Captain's confused look.
"Janeway here. Tuvok, have you made developments and need me on the bridge?" The Captain asked.
"Precisely." Came Tuvok's surprised reply. She could picture him raising his eyebrow.
"On my way." Janeway responded. She gave the same nod to Chakotay as before and left.
"I know you want to talk, but we have to get to the bridge." Seven said.
"You're not allowed on the bridge. You've –"
"Been confined to my quarters, I know." Seven completed his sentence. "We need to get to the bridge."
"I'm sorry Seven, but I'm taking you to your quarters." Chakotay answered. Seven was past desperate now, she was frustrated. Chakotay opened the door and lead her out of the Brig, holding her by the arm.
When they reached her quarters, Seven turned around to meet Chakotay face to face. "Commander, you need to keep the ship away from the Borg in my absence."
"I'll do all I can." He promised. Kissing her on the cheek, he left for the bridge. The two security officers guarding her door watched Seven enter her quarters and remained at their post.
Seven had faith that Chakotay would do as she said, but still felt that no one understood the urgency of the situation.
Suddenly, Seven felt strange. Everything around her began to slow down. She felt physically ill. Clutching her stomach, she toppled over on the floor unconscious.
