The Cargo Bay:
All she could hear was the sound of billions of voices speaking as one inside her head. An hour ago she was looking forward to seeing Earth but now she couldn't even hear herself think. As soon as she was getting used to the voices, they disappeared. Everything was quiet.

Morgan opened her eyes. She looked around, she was back on Voyager. She stepped out of her alcove. The computer voice said, "regeneration cycle incomplete."

"Oh shut up," Morgan moaned. She looked over to the two neighbouring alcoves. Seven was still in hers, regenerating. Tani's, as usual, was empty. Morgan sighed and she left the Cargo Bay to go and find Tani.

The Bridge:
"And this song is called Buzz," Tani said from Chakotay's chair.

"Oh just be quiet," Harry moaned from Kathryn's chair.

Tani ignored him and she brought the microphone closer to her lips. "I see the way you act, like you're nonchalant, but there's no way to hide what's in your eyes, what's going on. I'm not imagining the message coming through so I'll just say the way I feel, I know you feel it too."

"Oh please, just shut up," Harry moaned.

"Think I know the reason that you're holding back, don't want me to see you overreact. I'm not the kind that has to have it rehearsed, I'm making my move, I'll go first," Tani sang. Morgan walked onto the Bridge, followed by Jessie.

"Oh I love this song," Jessie said

"Oh god, I wish I hadn't volunteered for the night shift," Harry moaned.

Tani & Jessie sang along together to the chorus.

"Erm, my game is making a funny beepy noise," James said.

Harry jumped out of seat. "Finally, an excuse to get away. Which game is it?" He asked as he walked over to the console James was at. Tani continued to sing on her own.

"Monkey Island 4," James replied.

"That isn't the game you idiot," Harry moaned.

"What is it then?" James asked.

"It's the sensor array thing. It says that a trans-warp conduit has just opened near by," Harry said. Tani continued to sing. A plastic fan appeared in Morgan's hand and she used to hit Tani on the head with it.

"Stop singing! The Borg is bloody well coming to get us!" Morgan exclaimed.

"It's only the Borg," Tani moaned as she rubbed her sore head.

"Red Alert," Harry ordered.

"Don't bother, according to the scanners it's only a probe. Oh crap the monkey's beating me at Monkey Combat!" James yelled. Everyone collapsed in Pokémon style.

"I'll contact the Captain," Harry said.

"It's okay, I saved recently," James said.

"I'm not talking about your dumb Monkey Island Game you dip stick!" Harry yelled.

"I'm sorry, I was only joking. Oh crap, I've lost," James said. Harry groaned.

The Borg Probe:
"A vessel has been detected...blah blah blah. Activate. Alter course to intercept," the Borg voices said. A drone stepped out of it's alcove and it started to walk towards a computer terminal. It pressed some controls and the screen changed to show Voyager.

"Vessel identified, federation starfleet, intrepid class...it's Voyager, destroy, exterminate!" the Borg voices said. All the drones looked confused. Since when had they turned into the Darlecks? The voices changed. "Do as you're told minions! Oh crap, the link has broken again, let me just fiddle with this," the Borg Queen's voice said. Suddenly the Borg turned to zombies again. "Go and exterminate Voyager! Bwahahahahahahahaha!" the Borg voices said. The screen changed again to show the Bridge.

The Bridge:
A few crewmembers were trying to keep straight faces. Tom didn't have enough time and he was still in his pyjamas, his Tweenie pyjamas. He wasn't the only one, Tuvok was in his Dumbo pyjamas and Craig was in his Britney Spears pyjamas. Kathryn, Chakotay and Tom's hair was all out of place too. Craig's hair was sticking up, like if he had been electrocuted. Tuvok's hair still managed to stay in the right place.

"Break off your pursuit, or we'll open fire," Kathryn said.

"Irrelevant," the Borg voices said.

"Is it? You've scanned our vessel, you know we can match your fire power," Kathryn said.

"You will be assimilated."

The viewscreen went off. The probe attacked, hmm that makes a lot of sense.

The Borg Probe:
A console exploded, two drones fell backwards. A torpedo suddenly appeared. The alarm went off.

"Ohno, not this again. Don't stare at it, just disarm it," the Borg voices said. The drone just stared at it again. "Stupid link, why does it keep doing this?" It was too late, the torpedo exploded.

The Bridge:
The Borg Probe exploded on the viewscreen. Chakotay turned to Morgan and Tani.

"I thought we were trying to disable it," he said.

"It's never worked before, remember Test of Time?" Tani muttered. Morgan ignored her.

"That was on purpose," Jessie said.

"The torpedo detonated near the power matrix, again. It caused another chain reaction," Morgan said. Kathryn turned to face Tuvok, she tried to keep a straight face.

"Can't you do anything right?" Kathryn asked.

"Don't rely on him, he cant even remember to put his uniform on," Tani muttered.

"Is there any survivors?" Chakotay asked.

"Negative," Tuvok replied. Kathryn walked towards Harry's console.

"Debris status?" Kathryn asked.

"There's a few components intact but they're badly damaged," Harry replied. Kathryn turned to face Chakotay.

"Begin a salvage operation," Kathryn said.

"Captain?" Chakotay muttered. Seven walked onto the Bridge

"There must be something we can use, weapons, a transwarp coil," Kathryn replied. She walked towards her Ready Room. "I don't know about the rest of you, but I feel lucky today," she walked into her Ready Room.

"I don't," Tom muttered. Jessie and James finally cracked and they burst out laughing.

"Nice pyjamas, Tom," Jessie laughed.

"Nice boyfriend, Jessie," Tom muttered. Jessie's face turned red with rage, she tried to storm over to Tom but Morgan and James held her back.

"Jess, he's not worth it," Morgan said. James let go of her. Morgan tried to hold her back on her own but she couldn't. Morgan hit James on the head. "Why did you do that for you idiot?" Morgan growled. Jessie stormed over to Tom and she started to beat him up.

"I hate to interrupt but how can we be collecting debris? There is no atmosphere outside, how can a ship explode. It should implode, there should be nothing left," Seven said. Everyone stopped what they were doing and they stared angrily at her.

"No atmosphere outside, did you say?" Morgan asked.

"Of course not, why do you ask?" Seven asked.

Outside Voyager:
Seven was floating outside, she was obviously dead. Meanwhile all Seven haters and J/Cers were cheering and having parties.

"Marill, can't you stop being nasty to Seven for a second?" Firera's voice asked.

"No, why do you ask?" Marill's voice replied.

"Just checking to see if you were still normal," Firera's voice replied.

"I hate to say it but she was right. Things can't explode in space, they implode," Raichu's voice said.

"We already know that. It's all the Star Trek writers fault. They're all too dumb," Marill's voice said.

"Too true," Firera's voice said.

Sickbay:
"How many times to I have to tell you Mr Paris. Stop messing with Jessie, she could kill you if there was nobody to stop her," the Doctor said.

"But Doc, shouldn't she have the lecture?" Tom moaned.

"I wouldn't have to if you would stop provoking her," the Doctor replied. He closed his tricorder and he walked away. "You're free to go," the Doctor muttered.

"Thanks Doc," Tom muttered as he slipped off the biobed.

"And get changed," the Doctor said. Tom looked at himself.

"Oh yeah, I forgot about that," Tom muttered.

Cargo Bay Two:
The bay was filled with Borg junk. A few crewman were scanning the debris. Kathryn walked in, Chakotay walked up to her.

"Now, this is how I prefer the Borg, in pieces," Kathryn said.

"Nine hundred kilotons of debris, most of it is core fragments, all in written order," Chakotay said as the pair walked to the middle of the bay.

"The propulsion system, anything left?" Kathryn asked.

"B'Elanna found a transwarp coil," Chakotay replied. Kathryn picked up a strange sphere shaped object.

"This looks like a round ball thing. Lets hope that our little skirmish got back to the hive mind, they'll think twice before they attack us again," Kathryn said.

"It was only a probe. Next time we might not be so lucky," Chakotay said. Harry walked over to them.

"Captain, don't touch that," Harry said. He took the sphere thing off Kathryn.

"What is it?" Kathryn asked.

"I don't know, but a few minutes ago it was rolling around the floor," Harry said. He put it back.

"Thanks for the warning," Kathryn said. Harry walked away. Meanwhile Kiara and Naomi were playing with another sphere thing. It rolled away and it hit Harry's foot.

"By my count we've added at least ten lightyears to our trip by avoiding the Borg. I'm tired of running away every time we detect a cube," Kathryn said. She started fiddling with her comm badge.

"Better safe than assimilated," Chakotay said.

"Hmm," Kathryn replied as she continued to fiddle with her commbadge.

"Maybe I should go to Red Alert and get it over with," Chakotay said.

"Commander?" Kathryn muttered.

"You're about to drop one of your bomb shells," Chakotay replied.

"Why do you say that?" Kathryn asked as she continued to fiddle with her commbadge.

"The way you fiddle with your commbadge. You do it every time," Chakotay replied.

"No I don't," Kathryn said.

"That's right you don't. Lousy writers," Chakotay muttered.

"Hehe! They fell for it," Firera's voice giggled.

"Why did you do that for Firera, that line makes us look stupid," Raichu's voice muttered.

"I loved that bit in the episode, I don't know why," Firera's voice replied.

"Boring," Marill's voice muttered.

"Eureka!" the Doctor yelled. He ran up to Kathryn & Chakotay with a Borg arm. Tom followed him. "This is an arm from a medical repair drone. Laser scalpel..." the Doctor said very fast. He waved the arm around and he nearly hit Kathryn and Chakotay in the face. "All rolled into one instrument," the Doctor said finally.

"No Federation Sickbay should be without one," Tom said. The Doctor continued to wave the arm around and it hit Tom right in the face. He fell to the ground.

"Oh sorry Tom. Anyway this could help me perform surgery. Maybe I should test it on Tom," the Doctor said. Tom swallowed hard and he crawled out of the room as fast as he could.

"Excellent, why don't you put it away for the time being," Kathryn said. The Doctor walked off with the arm sticking out. Craig walked past and the arm hit him right in the face.

"If he doesn't put that away he will have to test it," Chakotay muttered. He and Kathryn walked over to Morgan and B'Elanna who were working.

"Try again," B'Elanna said.

"It's no use, the field regulator is fused," Morgan said.

"What seems to be the trouble?" Chakotay asked. Morgan and B'Elanna stood up.

"We can't activate the transwarp coil," B'Elanna muttered.

"When a Borg ship is critically damaged all of it's vital technology self destruct. We can't fix the coil," Morgan replied.

"At least the Doctor found a new toy," Chakotay said. Meanwhile the Doctor was showing his new arm to Seven, who had magically come back from the dead and didn't seem very interested. He started waving it around again, next thing he knew she was lying on the floor with a Borg arm's imprint on her forehead.

"Oh by the way, I found something else," Morgan said. She walked away. Kathryn and Chakotay followed. Morgan was holding something that looked like a large Borg Lego Brick. "It's a Borg data node. It may contain some handy info in them, some data nodes usually contain navigational information. Like vessel movements. I think this one has a drone manifest," Morgan said.

"Then lets take a look," Kathryn said.

"It'll need to be translated," Morgan said.

"Time?" Kathryn asked.

"I'd say about two hours," Morgan replied.

"Do it," Kathryn said. Morgan walked away with a couple of data nodes.

The Conference Room, two hours later:
Kathryn was standing next to the console. On the screen was a damaged Borg Sphere. All, but Kiara, Naomi, Neelix & Triah, of the main cast was sitting at the table.

"What we have here is.. Fort Knox," Kathryn said.

"But I thought Fort Knox was on Earth," Jessie muttered.

"Maybe the Borg have stolen it," James said.

"Shut up you two," Tom groaned. Jessie picked up the Doctor's new toy and she threw it at Tom. He fell backwards off his chair when it hit him in the face.

"That was my toy!" the Doctor screeched. He started to cry. Everyone ignored him.

"Tom translate," Kathryn said. A groan was only his response. "Oh fine. Anybody else know about Fort Knox?" Kathryn asked. Everyone stared blankly at her.

"All I know is that it's on Earth," Jessie said.

"And nobody could break into it," James said. Tom groaned in agreement.

"Tom, get back in your chair," Chakotay said.

"Did anybody manage to break into Fort Knox?" Kathryn asked.

"Probably not," Jessie replied.

"Are you planning a heist?" Chakotay asked.

"As a matter of fact, I am. But we're not chasing for gold, we're going to take a transwarp coil. Think it might come in handy," Kathryn said.

"Isn't that stealing?" Craig asked.

"Stealing is such a strong word, how about borrowing," Kathryn said. Everyone but the Doctor & Seven agreed. Tom just groaned from the floor.

"Tom, I told you to get up," Chakotay said. Tom groaned again.

"If I could attach at least one transwarp coil to the engines it could take at least twenty years off our trip," B'Elanna said.

"If everyone agrees lets get rehearsing," Kathryn said.

"The Doctor and I object," Seven said. Everyone stared angrily at her. She looked to the Doctor for help but he was still crying.

"Seven, since when does your opinion count?" Morgan asked.

"Since this is my episode," Seven replied.

"No, it used to be your episode, it's mine now," Morgan said.

"Captain, why does the writers keep giving my episodes to the new characters?" Seven asked.

"Because you're boring and annoying," Morgan replied.

"I wasn't asking you," Seven said.

"Because the writers don't like you, and frankly nobody else does either," Kathryn replied.

"But why?" Seven asked.

"Want a list?" Morgan asked.

"Huh?" Seven muttered.

"Overall, you spoilt Voyager by being in episodes far too much, you replaced Kes she could of been a much cooler character when she had those cool powers, you hit it off with Chakotay in Human Error and End Game," Morgan said. Chakotay left the room to be sick.

"I think she's gotten the point Morgan," Kathryn said.

"If she had gotten the point she would of disappeared by now. Anyway you're on the front of nearly every Star Trek magazine, all of the original writers love and worship you just because you wear a silly cat suit, which personally I think is disgusting. You were just added to the show to boost ratings, which it actually didn't and most of all, you are the most boring character ever to be on a science fiction show. End of story," Morgan said.

Everyone, but the Doctor who was still crying, in the room agreed with her. Tom was still groaning on the floor. Seven started to cry and she ran out of the room.

"Morgan, you missed a lot of things out," Tani said.

"I know, but I was running out of breath," Morgan said.

The Ready Room:
"So Morgan, how do you feel about all this?" Kathryn asked.

"I feel great, I showed Seven up in front of everyone," Morgan replied.

"Not about that, even though I am proud of you. I was talking about the Fort Knox plan," Kathryn said.

"Oh that. It's a good idea but I don't know how you're going to pull it off," Morgan replied.

"Basically we're going to send an empty shuttle to the Borg. They will lower shields to transport it aboard. The away team will beam aboard then. We will need your help," Kathryn said.

"Why?" Morgan asked.

"When you were on that Borg Sphere you must of boarded other Borg ships, undetected, to gain supplies," Kathryn replied.

"That's right," Morgan said.

"You and Tani must have some expertise in that then. You will help us increase our chances of 'borrowing' that transwarp coil, won't you?" Kathryn asked.

"Yeah sure. But I must warn you, some of those away missions we did went wrong," Morgan said.

"But you know why they went wrong, don't you?" Kathryn asked.

"Yeah I do," Morgan replied.

"Well then, lets get to work," Kathryn said.

Tani's Quarters:
"At least we don't have to regenerate tonight. We won't have to put up with Seven crying all night," Tani said.

"Yeah I suppose," Morgan muttered.

"What's up with you?" Tani asked.

"Last night I dreamt about when I was first assimilated into the collective, it felt a little too real," Morgan replied.

"Just forget about it, it was only a dream. I think we deserve a break, do you want some Cherry Coke?" Tani asked. Morgan nodded. Tani got off the sofa and she headed over to the replicator.

Ten years ago (2366), on the Borg Sphere:
"Haha! Say something again," an eight year old girl laughed.

"Why?" Kiara asked. The girl, and two other kids laughed.

"You've got a really stupid voice," the boy laughed.

"Speak for yourself," Tani said. The boy pushed Tani hard and she fell over. Kiara pushed the boy over. The other two girls laughed at her. An twelve year old lad walked over to the five Borg children. He picked up the boy by the ear.

"Don't ever push my little sister again, do you understand me?" the lad said roughly.

"Okay," the boy said quietly. The older lad shook him.

"I didn't hear you," he said loudly.

"I said okay," the boy moaned. The older lad put him down. The boy ran off.

"Thanks Tiran," Tani said.

"No problem," the older lad said.

"You're a bit of a lank aren't you. Are all Humans like that?" the first girl laughed. Tiran glared at them and they ran away screaming.

"If those girls cause you anymore problems just beat them up. I have to go on another heist mission," Tiran said.

"Okay, see you later," Tani said. Tiran left the room. The girls snuck back in and they started teasing Kiara again.

The present:
"Morgan.. are you still there?" Tani asked as she waved her hand in front of Morgan's face. Morgan jumped suddenly and she stared oddly at Tani.

"What happened?" Morgan asked.

"What do you mean?" Tani asked.

"I was back on the Borg Sphere, ten years ago," Morgan replied.

"I think this work is getting to your head, you'd better get some sleep," Tani said as she handed a bottle of Cherry Coke to her.

"It seemed real," Morgan muttered to herself.

"We can continue our work tomorrow, if you want," Tani said. Morgan nodded in agreement. She stood up and she slowly left the room.

Janeway's Quarters:
Morgan walked into the room. The room was dark since Kiara was in bed. Morgan sat down on the sofa and she opened her Cherry Coke.

"What's wrong, K, are you too scared to step on the scary Borg ship," a familiar but far away voice said.

Morgan stood up. She looked around, the room was definitely empty. "Computer, who is in this room besides me and Kiara?" Morgan asked.

"There is nobody else inside these quarters."

"Then where did the voice come from?" Morgan asked.

"Please restate the question."

"I'm not afraid of any Borg ship, I do live on one after all," Morgan's voice said.

"I didn't say that, what's going on?" Morgan asked.

"Please restate the question."

"Then why aren't you coming with us then?" Tani's voice asked.

"I just don't want to," Morgan's voice replied.

Three years ago (2373), the Borg Sphere:
"You're scared aren't you," Jayne teased.

"No I'm not!" Kiara yelled.

"You are, aren't ya?" Liam said.

"Oh come on Kiara, those stupid drones won't even notice that we're there at all. Even if they did they would think we were one of them," Tani said.

"I don't care, I'm staying here," Kiara said.

"Lets go without the chicken," Liam said.

"What's a chicken?" Jill asked.

"I don't know, I just copied what Tiran has said before," Liam replied. He, Jill and Jayne headed out the room. Tani slowly followed. She turned to face Kiara.

"Are you sure you don't want to come?" she asked.

"I'm sure," Kiara replied.

The present, an hour later, the Cargo Bay:
Morgan stood at the console near the alcoves. The room was empty, the debris was still littering the room. The main door opened and Kiara walked in. She walked up to Morgan.

"Hiya Morgan," Kiara said.

"Why aren't you in bed?" Morgan asked as she pretended to work at the console.

"I had a bad dream, can I stay with you for a while?" Kiara asked.

"Where's mum and dad?" Morgan asked.

"Mum's working in the holodeck with Harry & Tuvok. I think Dad's working on the Bridge. Please can I stay here, I won't bother you," Kiara replied.

"Okay," Morgan muttered. Kiara glanced around the room nervously.

"It looked just like this," Kiara muttered.

"What did?" Morgan asked.

"My dream. There was Borg stuff everywhere," Kiara replied.

"What happened?" Morgan asked.

"I was in Engineering, the ship was under attack from that Borg Sphere that we're heading for. I saw mum and dad die. I ran out of the room and I ran into a group of crewmembers. They told me to go into the escape pods because the ship was going to explode. I did that but when I was inside I was beamed aboard the ship and they assimilated me," Kiara replied.

Morgan was just staring at her, with a shocked expression on her face. "Please go," she muttered. Kiara walked back up to Morgan with a confused expression on her face.

"What's wrong?" Kiara asked. A nanoprobe suddenly emerged from her cheek. Morgan backed away then the whole Cargo Bay disappeared. She was now in Engineering, crewmembers were running around everywhere. Craig ran into her.

"Craig, what's going on?" Morgan asked.

"We're evacuating the ship, didn't you hear," Craig replied.

"But, why?" Morgan asked. Craig gave her the same puzzled look Kiara did.

"The Borg are attacking us, you know that sphere that assimilated you," Craig said.

"How is that possible," Morgan muttered. Suddenly there was a huge explosion. Morgan and Craig ran over to the source. Morgan backed away as Craig knelt down to check Chakotay's pulse.

"He's dead," Craig muttered. He looked over to see if Kathryn was okay. Morgan tried to run out of the room but she bumped into Kiara. Kiara saw her parents dead and she ran out of the room. Morgan tried to follow but everything froze.

"You can't stop her," an eerie voice said.

"Who are you?" Morgan asked.

"I am the Borg. Six of Six primary adjunct of Unimatrix 006, you have become weak," the voice said.

"That's my Borg designation," Morgan muttered.

"You are thinking that this is a dream aren't you. It isn't, we've tapped into your neural transceiver. Our thoughts are one. We know about Voyager's plans to infiltrate this sphere, it will fail," the voice said.

"If that's true, why haven't you attacked us yet?" Morgan asked.

"We've come to make you an offer. Rejoin the collective and we'll spare Voyager," the voice said.

"Why me, why don't you take Seven, no one on this ship likes her," Morgan asked.

"We're not that desperate. Anyway you are unique," the voice said.

"Morgan, Morgan, wake up!" another voice said.

Morgan awoke. She looked around, she was still on the sofa. Kathryn was holding her shoulders.

"You sleep in your bed, not on the sofa," Kathryn said softly. Morgan stared at her.

"How long have I been here?" she asked.

"I don't know, I've just came in. Are you okay, you looked terrified," Kathryn asked.

"I'm fine, I just had a bad dream that's all," Morgan lied.

"You should get to your own bed, we're starting the heist at 0800," Kathryn said. Morgan stood up and she headed for her room. "Oh and Morgan," Kathryn said. Morgan turned around. "You don't have to go if you don't want to, I can easily send Tani or Seven in your place," Kathryn said.

"No it's okay, I'll go," Morgan said and she walked into her room.

The next day, on the Borg Sphere:
Harry & Tuvok went an opposite direction to Kathryn & Morgan. Kathryn led Morgan down the corridor. Morgan nearly bumped into another drone as she crossed a junction. A door opened and she saw a group of Borg putting technology on a small child. One drone moved out of the way, it was Kiara. Morgan ran up to them but as soon as she got there, they all disappeared.

"Remember who you are," the Borg Queen's voice said.

Morgan felt a hand on her shoulder and she jumped. She turned to see who it was.

"Morgan, are you okay?" Kathryn asked.

"Yeah, everything's fine," Morgan muttered. She and Kathryn continued down the corridor.

Later:
"We've got it, Captain," Craig's voice said.

Kathryn and Morgan headed out the room. Kathryn lead the way down the corridor.

"Morgan," the Queen's voice said.

Morgan stopped suddenly. Kathryn somehow knew and she turned around to face her.

"Morgan, come on!" Kathryn yelled.

"No, I want to stay. I'm going to rejoin the collective," Morgan said.

"I can't let you do that," Kathryn said angrily.

"You haven't got a choice," Morgan said.

"Keep moving that's an order!" Kathryn yelled. A Borg force field surrounded Morgan.

"Mum, please go!" Morgan yelled back.

"Chakotay to Janeway, the sphere has detected Voyager, we have to get you out of there now," Chakotay's voice said.

"I'm not leaving without you," Kathryn said.

"But you'll be assimilated," Morgan said. A couple of drones walked up to them both. Kathryn aimed her rifle at one of them and she fired. More drones came her way, blocking her view of Morgan. She had no choice but to continue down the corridor.

Meanwhile:
Harry and Tuvok walked quickly to the meeting place. They ran into some drones. They both fired their phasers but their shields blocked the fire.

"They've adapted," Tuvok said. He and Harry ran down another corridor. After a few seconds of running they reached the meeting point. Kathryn met up with them a few seconds later.

"Janeway to Voyager, three to beam up," Kathryn said angrily.

"Three?" Chakotay's voice said.

"Just energise," Kathryn said. The three dematerialised.

The Bridge:
Kathryn, Tuvok & Harry walked out of the turbolift. Harry and Tuvok went to their stations. Kathryn walked up to the helm, where Chakotay was.

"Where's Morgan?" he asked.

"She decided to stay," Kathryn replied.

"The sphere is entering a transwarp conduit, Captain," Tom said.

"Pursuit course," Kathryn said.

"It's too late, they're gone," Tom said.

Ten minutes later:
The Borg Sphere entered normal space. It flew into a huge Borg city. A docking bay door opened and the sphere flew inside.

Two drones escorted Morgan through a strange door. They stayed next to the door but she just walked further into the room. The Borg Queen's body was assembled right before her eyes. The queen's head and shoulders (no not the shampoo) was brought down to her body. Once the Queen was fully connected she walked towards Morgan. She placed her hand on Morgan's cheek.

"Welcome home," the Queen said.

*******
Will Voyager find their missing crewman? Will the Doctor get his toy back? Who will be next to be hit off that Borg arm? Will Seven actually die and stay dead? Find out next time on Fifth Voyager!!
