[ you. what are you doing here? ]

Hiding, like you. [ except— wait. no. this isn't right. this was familiar, almost tangible as if it were a collection of memory engrams locked away behind a series of unbreakable, undetectable algorithms that had begun to break free of their restraints. she knew this place, but it wasn't right. this— was not right at all. she didn't belong here. it wasn't her fault. that which she stood accused of wasn't her fault. an individual should not have to answer for the collective's wrongdoings.

she went away, like some do — she understood that much. or maybe she was still on the equinox. perhaps she was hallucinating. firm, unwavering in her stance, she'd been willing to perish instead of becoming what ransom and his crew had become. she wanted no part in any of it. she resisted. but he was trying to force her hand, made the doctor—

standing up, only dimly aware of the headset, of the feed, seven draws her hand across her temple and the metallic, ocular implant that's a stark contrast against pale skin and loose, bright blonde hair. she's intact, and an awkward, uncharacteristic clearing of her throat tells her that her auditory processor is operating under normal parameters. her voice is her own, controlled by her own will and not that of a hologram devoid of ethical subroutines.

only then, when she's certain that speaking will produce words and not song, does she address the dome directly. ]

My designation is Seven of Nine, Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix 01. I will not comply.

[ seven turns, the feed swiveling along with her. trees, sculptures, both elaborate and not — she knows this place, knows exactly where she is. she can't say how or why, for the fog in her head has yet to clear. ]

Sector 4. Quatro Park.

[ she's dangerous; stronger, faster, smarter with enhanced senses and a circulatory system full of nanoprobes. dangerous, but not a threat. not right now. the starfleet officers in command red she would do harm to don't include commander riker. ]

	[ He keeps up with that, more or less. It's an unsettling idea, if he's following it right. If that's true, though, there is a pragmatic way to approach the situation. ] If you've truly been here before, then your broadcast will draw the attention of people who know you. Captain Picard would know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ even more unsettling were she to confirm (as much as the temporal prime directive allows her to) that such a thing is indeed possible. ] The Captain has already responded. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ That's almost comforting. He'd doubted whether or not Picard was really himself, but this is a good start on building his own confidence. He has to speak to the Captain himself, but only when he's gotten a thorough lay of the land--Deanna has seen him already, it's enough. ] Did he recognize you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes. [ somehow, trusting picard's word over that of the other inmates who have offered to help makes the most sense to her. if only because someone who used to be borg ought to know better than to feed one who was one for longer than he incorrect information she'd easily be able to decipher. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
