+Voyagers crew decide that it's a good time to plan a heist on Borg and steal their transwarp coil.
+During the heist, Seven meets the new Borg Queen who has huge interest in her.
+
+We're also witness of Sevens memories from just before being assimilated by the Collective.

+## Impressions {#impressions}
+
+Oh, a two-parter!
+Of course, it's about the Borg.
+
+Say what you will, the basic premise of Borg still scares me.
+The idea of loosing _self_ and to be reduced to a drone?
+Not even corporate America is capable of doing it fully.
+But I started watching Trek years ago.
+When Picard became Locutus, I was some 7-8 year younger.
+It was a scary concept, sure.
+But here I am, in 2024, a father.
+The premise of Borg assimilating children is terrifying.
+A young kid loosing _self_ and becoming part of the collective?
+Yeah, scary stuff became terrifying.
+I get we're dealing with alien-third-reich and _borg-jungen_ make perfect sense.
+But in unnerving at the very least.
+
+Here we learn that Hanses fought for the title of worst parents ever.
+Not only have they risked their own lives, not only have they not thought of the risk making Anika an orphan, but they took her with them.
+They took their little girl to the most dangerous place in known space.
+Star Trek is about "boldly going were no one has gone before", but have some restrains!
+Even the Doctor agreed.
+
+Speaking of children in dangerous areas of universe - Naomi continues to rock.
+When _TNG_ introduced Alexander, they could not throw his character fast enough.
+They had no idea how to write children.
+But here?
+Here she acts like a kid.
+Cute and believable.
+
+On the other hand, we're seeing assimilation.
+I don't remember how graphical the previous ones we witnessed were, but hot damn.
+Strogg... Borg aren't fooling around - arms are cut off, and it's actually scary.
+People complained about the eye-removal scene from _Picard_, but it wasn't so off.
+
+But my biggest takeaway: there are privacy protocols on federation ships!
+I always wondered how they store all this private info without prying eyes.
+The answer: protocol.
+Oh you crazy space-commies!

+Borg ships always gives me a sense of claustrophobia.
+Games with Borg ignored how small the living space is there.

+Say what you will, Queen looks better here than she looked like in Picard.

+## Doctor Factor {#doctor-factor}
+
+The episode is so good, that I don't care that we deserve more of The Doctor.
