Voyagers crew decide that it's a good time to plan a heist on Borg and steal their transwarp coil.

We're also witness of Sevens memories from just before being assimilated by the Collective.

-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!

The episode is so good, that I don't care that we deserve more of The Doctor.
