+Voyager docks at Markonian Outpost Space Station, a place welcoming everyone and every idea.
+Seven finds, among those people, three of her old acquaintances.

+## Impressions {#impressions}
+
+At first, I was expecting _Star Trek_ to continue ripping of _Babylon 5_, since they haven't finished the job with _DS9_.
+Luckily, the episode quickly went its own way.
+
+Seven's relation to Borg is one of the main returning plots, but very rarely we hear about the experiences of other ex-drones.
+It's even rarer to see it done well.
+_TNG_ tried it with Third of Nine, but let's face it - authors were still learning how to handle such subjects.
+Their skills had yet to reach the level of their ambition.
+
+We meet three other ex-drones from Seven's Unimatrix.
+Their disconnect from the Collective was done much less effectively than what the Doctor has done to Seven.
+They were disconnected from other drones, but not from themselves.
+It's an interesting idea.
+We've got three individuals who are forced to live like Drones, since all their thoughts are transmitted between them.
+
+What I didn't like was the other aspect of their story.
+We are learning about a mission of this Unimatrix, where most of the drones started developing individuality.
+There is a mystery, as all they remember is waking on the Borg Ship after being _individuals_ for a brief moment, but no one knows why.
+Finally, we learn it was Seven acting in the best interest of the Collective.
+She acted against their Unimatrix, but this is not developed enough.
+We learn it, everyone is angry at her, but that's all.
+What **is** interesting is the stark contrast with last episode: she forgives Doctor for torturing her, they never forgive her.
+They are far more developed as individual persons (despite the link), and this is what allowed them to feel hate.
+
+All in all, another good episode but it lacks something _extra_, to make it great.
+And Naomi is always welcome!
