OMEGA DIRECTIVE Seven is in her quarters, making a entry into her personal log. She makes a comments on the plans for the work load of the day. She then goes to begin, notices that Kim isn't there she locates him Playing a game of logic with Tuvok, He is thinking about his next move this is the closest he has ever came to beating tuvok and he doesn't want to give up. Seven getting impatient waiting decides to make the move for Kim. She does, It wins (I think). On the bridge tom a Omega symbol on his screen, and the engines come to a full stop. The captain quickly appears on the bridge. She releases the lockouts and has a walking meeting with some of the crew chakotay, Torres, and she has chakotay have seven report to my ready room. Seven when she meets up with the officers in the hall. They are talking about the rumors that are going about. Seven says the omega symbol, chakotay says yes. The captain wants to see you. Seven I assumed as much. When she gets to the ready room The captain tells her how she is forbidden to talk to the rest of the crew. But since seven will already know. They discuss the Omega particle how dangerous it is. How many borg died in their attempts to create an stabilize the particle. The Omega particle to the borg represents perfection. The captain comments on how it's like the holy grail, and seven doesn't seem to understand that comment so the captain says never mind. Seven points out that she does not wish to distroy the particle. The captain askes do you wish to remain in your quarders till the end of this mission. Seven says no, I will help I do not want to miss the opportunity to observe the particle. The captain says very well then. The captain then go on to tell her to proceed with making a report telling all that you/the borg know about the particle. It is later found out that there are much more than a few Omega particles. That there is in fact very many too many for a just the captain and seven to distroy on their own in a shuttle craft Using a special warhead created just for this purpose. Seven points out how they will have to tell and enlist the help of the entire crew. The captain decides to hold a meeting of the officers, and to brief them on the Omega particle and how dangerous it is. How just a single molecule of it was created over a 100 years ago and how when it failed to stabilize it took out subspace for a whole sector or so. Tom Paris comments, so it was the omega particle, not a natural occurring phonon like I was told. Seven has a plan to create a chamber to put the particles in and then distroy them she. She is given orders to use whatever equipment and staff/crew she requires. She uses the crew as if they was borg drones, she assigns them tasks and gives them numbers. Kim thinking that his working on something other than what he was assigned would speed the process, complains about the way Seven is treating the crew to chakotay. Chakotay tells Kim, when your a member of the collective you must adapt. Chakotay leaves. Seven returns seeing Kim working on something different than assigned demotes him to another number 2 of 10 and assigns him to a task. When they arrive at the site of the particles they see a test facility or lab. That just had a accident. They beam up some injured alien. Then proceed to locate the particles they find the particles are behind a door they have to phaser and cut on the door to get to them. Back on the ship seven questions the alien who has a unique way of stabilizing the particle. Seven then see for certain that there is a way to stabilize the particle (At least this is how she sees it). She continues the work on the chamber and has run some simulations on her plans to stabilize the particle. She shows the simulations to chakotay, who is convinced that she can do it. But tells her to continue on working with the original plan to distroy them. Seven then says, I'm making a personal request that we don't distroy them but try to stabilize them, in all of my 9 months I have never made any till now. Chakotay tells her, I will tell the captain. The aliens ships are approaching, the crew on the surface has just placed the pattern enhancers and they beam the particles to the holding chamber where Seven is distorting them within the chamber. She's at 11 % and climbing and when the captain arrives from the planet to the bay with the chamber and Seven. The captain asks, how many distroyed so far seven reports x% and the captain says that's not enough, increase this ???? we need to distroy them faster. Seven reminds her of her plan of the plan to stabilize them instead it would be faster.. But janeway is bent on distorting them, they are now distorting them as fast as they can and when they get to 70% left Janeway says close enough the torpedo can distroy the rest. Janeway gives orders for the bay to be depressurized and that prepare to fire the torpedo to distroy the chamber and the particles. Seven notices that the Omega particles have stablized all by themselves and she stares at them for about 3 seconds or so. The captain pulls her arm and reminds her that they have to get out of there. They leave in the nick of time. the bay is depressurized and the chamber floats out and is distroyed along with those particles. Seven later is found by janeway in the holodeck in janeway's Mistro simulation of the workshop. She came there to think, about what she saw, she comments how for 3 seconds she saw perfection. The aliens are left in the dust cause when they fired the torpedo they jumped into warp. The aliens did prosue them because to them this particle represented the future and surval of their planet they have depleted their resources and it was down to this. It appears that the voyager captain suspended the prime directive and was allowed to? On this occasion since this particle when it destabilizes distroys subspace and makes warp travel impossible. It appears they distroyed all the data for the creation of this particle as well. Next week Unforgettable, Chakotay remeets a alien who is forgettable but is magical.
