Janeway börjar jobba med Borgerna, och istället för att assimilera Janeway & Co. utses en representant för Borg kollektivet - 7 of 9.
Under jobbet att bygga nya vapnet blir Borg kuben attackerad och dom beamar över ett minikollektiv till Voyager. Men detta minikollektiv
har ett annat uppdrag - att ta striden hem till Species 8472 galax!
Så med 7 of 9 i spetsen börjar dom modifiera Voyager, och öppnar ett hål i rymden till deras galax. Väl där tvingas Voyager att modifiera
alla sina vapen snabbt som fan och lyckas förstöra några bio-skepp. Så dom öppnar ett hål tebax. Men när dom kommer dit svämmer det av bio-skepp, så dom droppar en superbomb full med nanoprobes, som förstör hela bunten. Mission accomplished... nästan, nu vill Borgerna ta över Voyager. Men det har Janeway förutsett så hon och f.d semi-Borgen Chakotay har fixat en fälla som bränner sönder Sevens länk till kollektivet.
Så nu sätter dom kurs tebax till Alfa kvadranten men full fart, och med en extra besättningsmedlem.

Jeri Ryan (7 of 9) :
"That was tough. It was a lot of makeup. It was a pretty restrictive costume. We got [the application] down to about two and a half hours. Actually, the second episode ["The Gift", stoffs anm], when I was half-Borg took longer That took three hours, because of all the seams were exposed aroudn the bald cap. The costume for the Borg took a good 25 minutes. It was very heavy, and very thick, all half-inch rubber and Latex, equppied with the wired for the blinkey lights. So it was rather snug. It was tight around the neck. It was [fitted] to my bare neck, and then once the half-inch-thick latex bald cap was on my neck as well and the costume was zipped up, it pressed on my caratid artery. We didn't really plan to extent it all the way down, whe we had the initial fittings."
[det sades oxå att hon svimmade några gånger pga den tighta dräkten]
"I never actually passed out. I knew that I couldn't comfortably turn my head out of any position other than straight ahead, because it made
me black out. It wasn't a pleasent sensation. It was compounded by the fact that we were working in smoke, and getting overheated with the costume because it was rubber, and very thick and heavy. I was trying to be a martyr thinking that I was saving time, by saying, 'Oh no let's just do another take' and then I had paramedics to the set."
[men så fort hon protesterade till producenterna så fixade dom den dräkten snabbt som fan, och wow vilken dräkt hon fick sen :)]

Brannon Braga, författare och producent :
"The Borg are to Voyager what the Klingons were to Next Generation. They're our villain. All we had planned for the Borg was that 'Unity' episode, to do this group of Borg disconnected from the hive. I thought we can't just do 'Unity'. It's not enough. At the same moment, I thought, how cool would it be to have Borg on the ship full-time as a crewman? Boy, that would shake things up, wouldn't it? It certainly did."

Joe Menosky, författare :
"The original inspiration was a couple of things. One was when Picard became the voice of the Collective as Locutus, so there was an individual speaking for the Collective. Another was when the Borg Queen did the same. Rick Berman was pretty adamant that you get bored with the Collective voice pretty quickly, and someone had better step forward. Seven didn't appear until 'Scorpion, Part II' but we were thinking about her in 'Scorpion, part I'. You needed an entire summer to cast that role. We had her in mind but because you can't case in such a short period of time, and we weren't really sure who she was going to be, we pushed off her delivery, her appearence, into 'Part II'."

Kate Mulgrew [om Leonardo da Vinci hologrammet]:
"You know, I brought them the Da Vinci idea. I thought it was a good idea. That's a program that makes sense. Janeway's going there to seek out a far greater mind than her own. She realises her own loneliness, and she embraced a greater idea to help her out of those dilemmas. I thought it was a really good idea and I hope the don't let it go, but they're so busy now concentrating on Seven of Nine, which is, of course, what they have to do to see how she's going to work. They probably won't get around to these other things until the middle of the season, maybe even the end of the season."

Jeri Taylor [om Seven karaktären och Jeri Ryan :
"She had no clue what a Borg was, asked about a billion questions and went off and looked at some of the episodes, still feeling very insecure and not sure that she was able to carry off the role. We were more sure than se was; she has an amazing strength. She looks very delicate and ethereal. She's blond and has blue eyes. But she stood face-to-face with Janeway, Tuvok and Chakotay and the intesity that she projected was just astonishing. We were simply bowled over. Jeri will simply bring a breath of fresh air and be a unique kind of character that we can explore - the Borg who has been Borg since she was a child. She was taken by the Borg as a very young child, grew up/came of age as a Borg, has lost all memory and sense of Humanity, and is now suddenly cut off from the collective. She goes through an awful period of withdrawal, doesnt want to be on the Voyager, doesn't want to be Human. She wants to get back to the Borg and for that to be the only thing that she's ever known. She has an incredible journey ahead of her."
[om parallellen mellan Seven som blir individ och Hugh-karaktären från TNG "I, Borg"]:
"In the first place, Hugh was with the Eenterprise for about a day, and then went back. He changed people's lived more than hwe was changed. Picard changed, Guinan changed, Geordi changed. Hugh basically stayed what he was, which was temporarily unconnected, and then went back. He had further adventures after that, but this three or four years, or however long [Seven] has, will give us the chance to see what happens then when the dosconnectedness goes on and on. I'm not sure what all of the arc will be."

Janeway: "Do you have a better idea?
Seven: "We are Borg."
Tuvok: "I take that as a 'yes'."

Tuvok: "How did you obtain this information?"
Seven: "We are Borg."
Tuvok: "Naturally."

Seven: "If we transported 500 drones to your ship, do you believe you could offer sufficient resistence?"
Janeway: "We'd die trying!"

"[Humans] are irratic, conflicted, disorganized. Every decision debated, every action questioned. Every individual entitled to their own small opinion. You lack harmony, cohesion... greatness. It will be your undoing."
- 7 of 9

"You started this war... what's the matter, our galaxy wasn't big enough for you?!"
- Chakotay to Borg

"If they have any sense of self preservation, they'll back off!"
- Janeway

"We're going to war."
- Janeway

7 of 9: "We are Borg."
Chakotay: "I see a young girl.... a family"
7 of 9: "Irrelevant. You're appeal to my humanity is pointless."
