5.15 dark frontier (part 1)

A damaged Borg sphere provides Janeway with the opportunity to steal a transwarp coil and cut about 20 years off their return journey. Tired of being attacked by the Borg, Janeway wants to be on the aggressive, so a careful away mission is planned, featuring lots of moody holodeck Borg sphere recreations. It also involves Seven being assigned to study the notes taken by her parents, who studied the Borg for three years at close range before being assimilated – and getting their little daughter Annika assimilated too.

Things get complicated when Seven, who is an almost necessary and valuable member of the away team, begins to show signs of stress. She has been receiving messages from the Borg via her cranial implant, warning her that if she does not rejoin the collective, the away mission will fail. As the away mission concludes successfully, she tells Janeway that she wishes to rejoin the collective. Janeway has no choice but to let her go or be assimilated herself.
