Quotes
-
[the Borg children have regained their individuality]
Icheb : [reading his assimilation profile] Icheb. My name was Icheb.
Seven of Nine : Your name *is* Icheb.
-
Mezoti : My designation is... Mezoti. I-it's a pretty name.
Seven of Nine : Yes, it is... and it's all yours.
-
Seven of Nine : When I was first captured by the Borg, I was young and frightened. I watched my parents assimilated. Then I was placed in a maturation chamber, and the hive mind began to restructure my synaptic pathways, purge my individuality. When I emerged five years later, the turmoil of my forced assimilation had been replaced with order. You may not be aware of this, Captain, but that order continues to be a source of strength for me. I could not have regained my humanity without it.
-
First : We're Borg. You've forgotten what that means.
Seven of Nine : The unity of the Collective. Common goals. The quest for perfection. I have not forgotten, but you don't need to remain drones to experience those things.
-
[the First has been fatally injured]
Mezoti : [trying to reassure him] We'll find a new home. You'll see.
First : W-we are Borg.
Seven of Nine : Yes... we are Borg.
[the First shuts down]

[Voyager encounters a Borg cube]
Seven of Nine : There should be thousands of drones manning the vessel, but I'm picking up only five signatures.
The Borg : We are the Borg. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.
B'Elanna Torres : It doesn't sound like they've lost their confidence.
-
Seven of Nine : These drones have not fully matured. Where are the others?
The Borg : There are no others. The drones aboard this vessel were...
First : ...deactivated. We are the Borg.
-
Mezoti : We're a collective.
Seven of Nine : A collective of five on a vessel normally run by 5,000.
-
Seven of Nine : Not all drones can be saved, Captain.
-
Seven of Nine : You are neonatal drones. You should still be in maturation chambers.
First : We've matured long enough.
Seven of Nine : Doubtful. Your thoracic nodes haven't formed yet.
[Icheb looks down and touches a bare spot on his chest]
