| The
starship remains on Red Alert after Janeway, in exchange for safe
passage through space, reaches an agreement with the Borg Collective
to help them fight Species 8472, a race more malevolent than their
own.
Although Chakotay strongly objects to
the unpredictable collaboration, Janeway and Tuvok transport,
with great caution, to the Borg Cube. When a drone attempts to
temporarily assimilate Janeway by connecting a neuro-transreceiver
to her, the alarmed Captain convinces them to instead choose a
representative to communicate verbally with her.
Soon, a vaguely human Borg emerges
to speak for the Collective. Designated Seven of Nine, she helps
them prepare to engage the enemy -- but when she boards the U.S.S.
Voyager, the entire crew is on edge. Meanwhile, the Doctor determines
that Species 8472 is accessing Kes' memory.
