'''Sette di Nove''' (Designazione[[Borg]]:Terziario aggiunto dell'[[Unimatrice 01]]) era una [[femmina]] [[umano|umana]] che prima del [[2374]] era un [[Drone Borg]]. Nacque in data stellare 25479 (24 giugno [[2350]]) sulla [[Colonia Tendara]], figlia degli [[Esobiologia|esobiologi]] [[Magnus Hansen]] e [[Erin Hansen]]. Venne assimilata dai [[Borg]] nel [[2356]], all'età di sei anni; anche i suoi genitori furono assimilati. Venne liberata nel [[2374]] dalla {{USS|Voyager}}. In seguito si unì all'equipaggio e ritornò nel [[Quadrante Alpha]] nell'anno [[2378]].

== Infanzia ==
Annika nacque in [[Data Stellare]] 25479 nella [[Colonia Tendara]] della [[Federazione Unita dei Pianeti|Federazione]]. Da bambina il suo colore preferito era il rosso. ({{VOY|L'addio di Kes}}) Da bambina trascorreva molto tempo con sua zia, [[Irene Hansen]]. Il suo dolce preferito era la [[Crostata di Fragole]]. La sua personalità era molto forte e non esitava a protestare se le fragole usate nella torta non erano perfettamente mature. ({{VOY|L'Autore,L'Autore}}) Voleva diventare una ballerina.

=== A bordo della ''USS Raven'' ===
[[File:Annika Hansen, 2356.jpg|thumb|left|Annika Hansen a bordo della ''Raven'' nel 2356]]
I Genitori di Annika, Magnus e Erin, erano esobiologi che volevano apprendere informazioni sui borg. Dopo lunghe trattative, la [[Federazione Unita dei Pianeti]] concesse agli Hansen l'uso della {{USS|Raven}}, una piccola nave, per aiutarli nelle loro indagini. Nel [[2353]] decisero di portare a bordo loro figlia Annika, che aveva quattro anni Passarono molto tempo sulla ''Raven'' per cercare i borg e Annika festeggiò tre compleanni a bordo della nave. Infine, gli Hansen trovarono un [[Cubo Borg]] e lo seguirono dentro a un condotto di [[Transcurvatura]] e arrivarono nel [[Quadrante Delta]], la regione d'origine dei Borg. Raccolsero una gran quantità di dati sulla biologia dei Droni borg e sulla natura della [[Collettività Borg|Collettività]] muovendosi di nascosto nello Spazio Borg grazie a degli [[Scudi Adattativi]], progettati dallo stesso Magnus Hansen. Riuscirono anche a salire a bordo di vascelli borg usando degli [[Bio- Smorzatore|Bio-Smorzatori]] per non essere rilevati. La loro ricerca terminò nel [[2356]], quando una [[Tempesta Ionica]] colpì la ''Raven''. La nave subì dei danni, e vennero danneggiati anche gli scudi  multi-adattativi che rimasero abbassati per 13.2 secondi. Questo lasso di tempo fu sufficiente agli Hansen per essere rilevati dai Borg, che li videro come un obiettivo per l'[[Assimilazione]]. Gli Hansen cercarono di seminare i Borg mascherando la [[Traccia di Curvatura]] della ''Raven'' ma i Borg riuscirono comunque a trovarli e a inseguirli. Vennero catturati insieme alla loro figlia e infine assimilati. ({{VOY|La Raven|frontiera Oscura}})

=== Vita come drone Borg ===
[[File:Seven of Nine speaks for the Borg.jpg|thumb|Sette di Nove, Terziario Aggiunto dell'Unimatrice 01]]

Annika venne messa in una [[Camera di Maturazione]], dove la [[Mente dell'Alveare]] iniziò a ristrutturare i suoi [[percorso sinaptico|Percorsi Sinaptici]] per farle abbandonare la sua individualità e farla diventare un drone completo nel [[2361]]. Trascorso i tredici anni seguenti nella Collettività con la designazione di Sette di Nove. Come drone, prese parte all'assimilazione di milioni di persone, da individui a intere specie. Assimilò personalmente molti individui di molte specie diverse come Umani, [[Klingon]], [[Ferengi]], [[Bajoriani]], [[Boliani]], [[Krenim]] e [[Cardassiani]]. ({{VOY|Infinite Regress|Collective}})

All'inizio del [[2368]], Sette di Nove, insieme ad altri tre droni della sua stessa [[Unimatrice]] si schiantò su un pianeta del Quadrante Delta. Gli altri tre droni, che erano stati assimilati da adulti, iniziarono a ricordare le proprie identità di quando erano degli individui prima di essere stati assimilati; Sette di Nove era invece spaventata perché non conosceva niente al di fuori della vita da Drone. Collegò a forza i tre droni in una collettività temporanea per sopprimere le loro individualità, vennero recuperati dalla Collettività poco dopo. ({{VOY|Istinto di Sopravvivenza}}) Sette rimase un drone fino al [[2374]], quando venne liberata dall'equipaggio della {{USS|Voyager}}.

== USS ''Voyager'' ==
=== La liberazione dalla collettività ===
[[File:Seven of Nine severed from Collective.jpg|thumb|left|Disconnected from the Collective]]
During the brief war between the Borg and [[Species 8472]] in late 2373, the USS ''Voyager'' was caught between the two belligerents. Seeking to protect her crew, and being made aware of the extreme threat to [[Milky Way Galaxy|the galaxy]] posed by Species 8472, [[Captain]] [[Kathryn Janeway]] forged an alliance with the Borg, offering them the technology behind modified Borg [[nanoprobe]]s which could be used as biological [[photon torpedo]] warheads against their common enemy, in exchange for safe passage through Borg space and non-assimilation. The Collective assigned Seven of Nine to work with ''Voyager'' to develop the weapon. When her [[Borg cube|cube]] sacrificed itself to save ''Voyager'' from an attacking [[Species 8472 bioship|8472 bioship]], she and a small number of drones [[Transporter|beamed]] onto ''Voyager'' to continue the work. Janeway was severely injured, leaving her [[first officer]], [[Commander]] [[Chakotay]], in command. Seven of Nine wanted ''Voyager'' to go to another cube, but Chakotay refused. The drones attempted to commandeer ''Voyager''{{'}}s navigation systems to take it to the nearest cube, but Chakotay decompressed the [[Intrepid class decks|deck]] the drones were on, blowing them into [[space]]. Seven of Nine, however, managed to remain aboard. Instructed to do so by the Collective, she took ''Voyager'' into [[fluidic space|Species 8472's realm]], forcing deployment of the modified nanoprobe torpedoes to protect the ship. A recovered Janeway resumed command and reinstated the alliance. The torpedoes proved effective. Now vulnerable, 8472 retreated. However, the Collective broke the alliance and Seven of Nine attempted to take ''Voyager'' to be assimilated. But this was anticipated and a contingency plan was successfully enacted which permanently severed her link to the Collective. Janeway decided to keep Seven of Nine aboard. ({{VOY|Scorpion|Scorpion, Part II}})

[[File:Seven of Nine confronts Janeway.jpg|thumb|Seven confronts Janeway about being separated from the Collective]]
The transition back to Humanity was difficult for Seven of Nine. She appeared to accept her severance from the Collective, but tried to contact it at the first available opportunity. She was stopped, however. ({{VOY|The Gift}})

[[The Doctor]], ''Voyager''{{'}}s [[holographic]] [[chief medical officer]], was able to remove most of her implants and restore most of her Human appearance, but her long-term assimilation meant that some parts were vital to her survival and could not be removed. She also refused to be called by her name of Annika Hansen as Seven of Nine was the designation she had always known. But she accepted a shortened version, "Seven" at the suggestion of Captain Janeway. ({{VOY|Day of Honor}})

Shortly after Seven was freed from the collective, ''Voyager'' neared a moon in [[B'omar]] space, the location of the crashed wreck of the ''Raven'', which had been partially assimilated by the Borg when they caught it. A Borg [[homing beacon]] aboard was still active. Seven began experiencing visions of a [[raven]] and flashbacks to the time she was assimilated. The beacon reactivated several of Seven's nanoprobes, giving her an irresistible drive to find the source of the beacon. She escaped ''Voyager'' in a [[shuttlecraft]] and flew to the moon, discovered the ship and recovered the entire memory of her assimilation. ({{VOY|The Raven}})

=== Doti scientifiche ===
[[File:Seven of Nine, 2376.jpg|thumb|left|Seven of Nine at her station on the bridge]]
During her first few months on ''Voyager'', Seven attempted to help the engineering crew modify the [[warp drive]] to generate [[transwarp conduit]]s. The efforts failed, and almost cost ''Voyager'' its [[warp core]] in the process. ({{VOY|Day of Honor}})

Along with [[Ensign]] [[Harry Kim]], Seven of Nine designed and constructed the ship's [[astrometrics]] lab, which used Borg technology to plot routes that trimmed several years off of ''Voyager''{{'}}s journey. The lab became an important asset to ''Voyager'' and was Seven's domain for the rest of the journey. ({{VOY|Revulsion|Year of Hell}}) Using the astrometrics lab, Seven discovered the [[Hirogen communications network]], which allowed ''Voyager'' to temporarily receive messages from the Alpha Quadrant. ({{VOY|Hunters}}) When monthly data streams and, later, real-time communication became possible, Seven helped implement enhancements to ''Voyager''{{'}}s [[deflector dish]]. ({{VOY|Life Line|Author, Author}})

Seven developed a technique for using Borg nanoprobes to revive an individual who had been dead several hours. It was used on [[Neelix]] in [[2374]]. ({{VOY|Mortal Coil}})

A team led by Seven adapted a Borg design to contain and destroy [[Omega molecule]]s found in the Delta Quadrant in [[2374]]. The molecules temporarily stabilized while in the chamber. Seven was the only one to see it happen; as the Borg considered the Omega Molecule to be "perfection" in its purest form (but had never been able to stabilize it), the former drone underwent what could be described as a religious experience when she saw Omega spontaneously stabilize. ({{VOY|The Omega Directive}})

Seven was part of the team which designed the ''[[Delta Flyer]]'' shuttlecraft in [[2375]]. ({{VOY|Extreme Risk}})

Seven assisted in the construction of the [[quantum slipstream drive]] installed aboard ''Voyager'' in [[2375]]. ''In an alternate timeline, the use of the drive destroyed the ship, killing her and everyone else aboard. However, just after the drive was activated, a signal from that timeline was received by Seven via her [[cortical implant]]s. This signal contained phase corrections that, when used, collapsed the slipstream, eliminating that timeline and saving the ship and crew.'' ({{VOY|Timeless}})

When ''Voyager'' crossed the territory of the anti-telepathic [[Devore Imperium|Devore]] in [[2375]], Seven helped develop a [[transporter]] suspension technique in order to hide [[telepath]]ic crewmembers and [[Brenari]] refugees. ({{VOY|Counterpoint}})

In [[2376]], Seven developed enhancements to her alcove that allowed her to process information and make connections between various events while she regenerated. This allowed Seven to deduce that [[photonic flea]]s had been degrading sensor efficiency and that a [[graviton catapult]] built by an alien named [[Tash]] employed a [[tetryon reactor]] like that of the [[Caretaker's array]]. However, the process overloaded her cortical implants, and she began drawing wild conclusions concerning ''Voyager''{{'}}s mission and crew. She convinced Chakotay that ''Voyager''{{'}}s presence in the Delta Quadrant was intentional and a prelude to a joint Federation/Cardassian invasion, while later telling Captain Janeway that Chakotay was organizing a [[Maquis]] rebellion, using technology of the [[Caretaker (Nacene)|Caretaker]], to launch strikes on Federation and Cardassian targets. She then began to believe that ''Voyager'' was sent to the Delta Quadrant to retrieve her from the Borg Collective, and that she would be analyzed and dissected upon return to the Alpha Quadrant. She left the ship in the ''Delta Flyer'', but Janeway was able to convince her that this 'conspiracy' was only a delusion caused by her alcove enhancements. She returned to ''Voyager'' and the enhancements were removed. ({{VOY|The Voyager Conspiracy}})

A [[hologram]] of [[Reginald Barclay]] was transmitted to ''Voyager'' in early [[2377]]. The hologram supposedly brought information to ''Voyager'' about using a [[geodesic fold]] to return the ship to the Alpha Quadrant. In reality, the hologram had been intercepted and reprogrammed by [[Ferengi]], who wanted to harvest Seven of Nine's nanoprobes and sell them for profit. Although the holo-Barclay claimed modifications to the shields would protect ''Voyager'' while in the fold, Seven eventually discovered that the hologram was deceiving them. ({{VOY|Inside Man}})

=== Conflitti morali ===
''Voyager'' rescued a member of Species 8472 from a [[Hirogen]] hunting party in mid [[2374]]. Captain Janeway wanted to return the creature to its native fluidic space because it had told Tuvok of its plight telepathically; it meant no harm and just wanted to go home. The Hirogen, however, wanted to hunt and kill it. They threatened to destroy ''Voyager'' unless the 8472 was returned to them. Seven felt that it should be surrendered in order to protect ''Voyager'', but Captain Janeway strongly disagreed, saying that it was wrong to sacrifice another [[lifeform]] to save themselves. Seven refused to help open a quantum singularity into fluidic space to allow the 8472 to return to its realm, and Janeway confined her to the cargo bay. The Doctor needed nanoprobes to help treat the injured alien, and Seven was ordered to bring them to The Doctor so he could treat it. At the same time, a Hirogen hunter who had been injured from his initial hunt of the 8472, and who The Doctor had been treating, attacked the 8472. Seven transported both the Hirogen and the Species 8472 to a Hirogen vessel, which then retreated. Janeway was not happy with Seven's conduct, and revoked most of her privileges until she proved trustworthy once again. Seven believed she was being punished for asserting her individuality and her personal beliefs, which the ''Voyager'' crew had fostered since she had been freed from the Collective. ({{VOY|Prey}})

''Voyager'' encountered [[Entharan]] weapons broker [[Kovin]] in [[2374]]. Seven worked with him and viewed the weapons he offered to sell, but was very much uncomfortable around him. She later struck him in engineering. With The Doctor's help, Seven recovered memories which suggested Kovin had assaulted her and stolen nanoprobes for use as weapons. Circumstantial evidence also supported her story, and ''Voyager'' tried to apprehend Kovin. It is later determined that her memories were simply ones from her time as a Borg drone mixed with experiences of Kovin. Unfortunately, Kovin was killed when ''Voyager'' tried to contact him and tell him of his innocence. Both Seven and The Doctor experienced deep remorse over contributing to Kovin's death. ({{VOY|Retrospect}})

[[File:Harmonic resonance chamber.jpg|thumb|Working to contain the Omega particles]]
When the Omega particles were found in the Delta Quadrant, Seven held a certain fascination with them, since the Borg had tried several times, unsuccessfully, to stabilize the molecules. She believed they held the key to perfection and that she would be able to use the Borg research to stabilize the molecules. However, Captain Janeway believed it was too risky and the molecules were destroyed. They spontaneously stabilized shortly before being destroyed by ''Voyager''. Seven witnessed this and experienced one of her first spiritual moments in the process. ({{VOY|The Omega Directive}})

A race of bounty hunters known as the [[Hazari]] began attacking ''Voyager'' in [[2375]]. A group of aliens called the [[Think Tank]] offered to help ''Voyager'' defeat the Hazari, but wanted Seven of Nine as payment. [[Kurros]], a member of the Think Tank, tried to appeal to Seven's quest for perfection and have her join willingly, but she declined his offer. Further investigation revealed that Kurros had hired the Hazari to attack ''Voyager'' for the express purpose of taking Seven of Nine. The crew developed a plan with the Hazari which involved Seven willingly joining the Think Tank. Once with them, she would disable systems aboard their vessel. Kurros sensed deception, and forced Seven to link with the Think Tank's telepathic net. She overloaded the network as the link was established, disrupting the function of their entire ship. Seven was returned to ''Voyager'' as the Think Tank was overwhelmed with a Hazari attack squadron. ({{VOY|Think Tank}})

In [[2376]], ''Voyager'' docked at a [[Markonian outpost]]. While there, Seven of Nine encountered the group of drones which she had linked together [[2368|eight years prior]]. They had since been liberated from the Collective, but were permanently linked due to Seven's modifications. They attacked Seven in order to find out what she had done to them, but were stopped by ''Voyager'' security. Seven later voluntarily linked with the drones to retrieve the memories of the crash, but further damage was caused when the link was broken. Even though the drones were no longer connected to one another, all but Seven were left comatose. They needed their neural implants removed, but it would only give them a month to live. They could be saved if reassimilated into the Borg Collective, but Seven decided that a brief life as an individual was much more valuable than eternal life as a drone, and she ordered The Doctor to remove the implants. The former drones were still upset about the decision made by Seven eight years prior, but understood her reasons and were grateful for their new-found freedom, however short. ({{VOY|Survival Instinct}})

Also that year, Seven was part of an [[away team]] which discovered the [[Vaadwaur]] race, placed in stasis centuries prior. Seven was excited at the prospect of helping to rebuild a society in order to atone for the destruction she participated in while a member of the Collective, and worked with the Vaadwaur to find them a new home. It was later determined that the Vaadwaur were warlike and hostile, and their awakening placed the region of space near their [[homeworld]] in great danger. Seven was upset that her intention to help may have caused further suffering. ({{VOY|Dragon's Teeth}})

Again during the same year, Seven and an injured Tuvok were captured by [[Penk]], a [[Norcadian]] who organized the spectator sport [[Tsunkatse]], and Seven was forced to fight in the ring. After rescue, Tuvok thanked her for taking his place in a [[red match]] and asked if she had recovered. Seven said that her victory only came from her loss of control, and worried that the three years she had spent regaining her Humanity were lost in the ring. However, Tuvok pointed out that her feelings of guilt, shame and remorse meant that her Humanity had been reaffirmed, not lost. ({{VOY|Tsunkatse}})

[[File:Seven of Nine, Iko scalpel.jpg|thumb|Seven held hostage by Iko]]
In [[2377]], Seven became friends with a [[Nygean]] man named [[Iko]], who had committed [[murder]] and had been sentenced to [[death]] on his [[homeworld]]. Initially, Iko took Seven prisoner when he was beamed aboard ''Voyager'' and made threats to the crew. He later became remorseful when his body and conscience was "healed" by Seven's nanoprobes after he was severely beaten by [[Yediq]], the prison warden when he threatened his family. Seven tried to help him avoid his death sentence, but his crime could not be forgiven by the victim's family and he was put to death. ({{VOY|Repentance}})

=== Relazioni con i borg ===
[[File:Seven taking transwarp coil.jpg|thumb|left|Stealing a transwarp coil]]
While transporting back to ''Voyager'' in [[2375]], a malfunction caused [[nanoprobe]]s from Seven's [[blood]]stream to merge with The Doctor's [[mobile emitter]]. The nanoprobes quickly assimilated the advanced [[29th century]] technology, and used genetic material from [[Mulcahey]] to create an advanced Borg drone, with the emitter at its core. The drone lacked Borg programming, giving Seven the opportunity to communicate with him. She attempted to teach him to be an individual, and he was even given the name [[One]] by Neelix, but he wished to learn more about the Borg. Attempts to prevent the Borg from detecting One failed and his attempts to modify ''Voyager''{{'}}s weapons to fight them proved insufficient. He transported aboard the Borg vessel, destroying it from within. His built-in shielding allowed him to survive the explosion badly injured, but he refused treatment and died in ''Voyager''{{'}}s sickbay to keep the crew safe from constant assimilation threats. Seven mourned him as if she had lost a son. ({{VOY|Drone}})
[[File:Annika_Hansen.jpg|thumb|Seven in Unimatrix Zero as Annika Hansen]]
Later in [[2375]], ''Voyager''{{'}}s crew prepared for a daring raid on a damaged [[Borg sphere]] in order to steal a [[transwarp coil]] and substantially shorten their journey home. Seven was contacted by the [[Borg Queen]], who revealed that she had set a trap for ''Voyager'' and its crew would be assimilated if she did not return to the Collective. Seven reluctantly agreed, learning that she was deliberately granted her freedom as part of a larger plan to assimilate Humanity. Seven resisted the Queen's attempts to convince her to develop a nanoprobe virus and was eventually rescued by ''Voyager''{{'}}s crew. ({{VOY|Dark Frontier}})

In [[2377]] she discovered that she was one of a few Borg with a certain assimilation mutation that allowed them to retain their individuality while regenerating inside of an artificial construct known as [[Unimatrix Zero]]. Freed from the Collective, she was once again contacted by the others inside. They were on the verge of being discovered and needed her help. With some assistance from ''Voyager''{{'}}s crew, the drones were given the ability to retain their individuality outside of the construct. This allowed them to launch an open revolt against the Collective, plunging the Collective into [[civil war]]. ({{VOY|Unimatrix Zero|Unimatrix Zero, Part II}})

=== Crisi d'identita ===
When the Hirogen overtook ''Voyager'' in [[2374]] and used its crew and holodecks to conduct hunts, Seven was assigned the identity of [[Mademoiselle de Neuf]] (literally "Miss of Nine") in the [[French Resistance]] [[holoprogram]]. The Doctor was able to modify her Borg implants and restore her real identity without the Hirogen knowing. She worked with The Doctor and Ensign Kim to stage a counterstrike against the Hirogen and restore the identities of the rest of the crew. ({{VOY|The Killing Game}}) Seven later modified explosives to emit a [[photonic burst]] which disabled holographic activity on part of the ship, a crucial event which allowed Captain Janeway to defeat the leader of the Hirogen and return control of the ship to the Starfleet crew. ({{VOY|The Killing Game, Part II}})

[[File:Seven of Nine samples Kelaran wildebeest.jpg|thumb|One of Seven's personalities eating like a Klingon]]
Seven was stricken with something akin to a multiple-personality disorder in [[2375]] when ''Voyager'' neared a [[vinculum]] infected with a [[synthetic pathogen]] by [[Species 6339]]. Several personalities, including Starfleet officers, a Klingon warrior, a [[Vulcan]] official, a [[Krenim]] [[scientist]], a Ferengi trader, a woman trying to find her son aboard the {{USS|Melbourne}} at the Battle of Wolf 359, and a frightened young child, emerged. These turned out to be personalities of individuals assimilated by Seven, and it was soon made clear the malfunctions in her implants were precisely what Species 6339 wished to inflict on the rest of the Collective. The personalities began to take over Seven, and her own individuality was lost. Tuvok was able to use a [[Vulcan mind meld]] to retrieve Seven's consciousness and the vinculum was deactivated. ({{VOY|Infinite Regress}})

In [[2377]], ''Voyager''{{'}}s crew was forced to abandon ship after hitting a [[subspace mine]]. They were rescued by rogue elements of the [[Quarren (species)|Quarren]], and had their identities reassigned in order to supply labor and fill a shortage on the [[Quarra|Quarren homeworld]]. The entire crew, except Chakotay, Kim, and Neelix, who were away on the ''Delta Flyer'', had their memories of ''Voyager'' erased and false memories of terrible conditions on their homeworlds implanted. Seven started to use her real name, Annika Hansen, and was given a job as an [[efficiency monitor]] in a power distribution plant, working with several other ''Voyager'' crewmembers including Captain Janeway, Tuvok, and B'Elanna Torres. Her Borg desire for perfection made her perfectly suited for the job, and she was often overzealous in chastising workers. The identity reassignment did not completely work on Tuvok, though, and he began to remember his former life, including Seven of Nine. He mind-melded with her, causing memories of her life on ''Voyager'' and as a drone to resurface. ({{VOY|Workforce}}) As the flashbacks continued, Annika investigated Tuvok's records. She believed there was a connection to the disappearance of Torres, who had been rescued by the remaining ''Voyager'' crew, and Annika later learned that Tuvok had accessed files of most of the ''Voyager'' crew, including Janeway, Torres, and herself. This led her to the inconsistency that many new workers from the same species began work on the same day, which was unusual during a labor shortage. Additionally, they were all brought through the neuropathology division, although none of the workers remembered this. Her suspicions were dismissed and explained as an outbreak of [[Dysphoria Syndrome]]. Annika was undaunted, and later visited the neuropathology division complaining of the flashbacks in order to access their computer system. While there, she discovered the Dysphoria Syndrome outbreak was actually a cover-up masterminded by a Quarren doctor called [[Kadan]], to hide the fact that ''Voyager''{{'}}s crew and many others had been abducted. This confirmed the story Chakotay had told to Captain Janeway, and Annika and a Quarren official, [[Yerid]], went to the hospital to prevent Kadan from using the reassignment technique on Chakotay and Tuvok. They succeeded, and the entire ''Voyager'' crew was transported back to the ship. The Doctor was successful in restoring the identities of the entire crew. ({{VOY|Workforce, Part II}})

== Sviluppo Personale ==
Although she began to accept her Humanity, Seven was still not completely eager to return to the Alpha Quadrant, and became apprehensive when opportunities presented themselves. ({{VOY|Hope and Fear}}) Her reluctance actually proved lifesaving for the ''Voyager'' crew in [[2375]] when the ship was nearly ingested by a [[bioplasmic organism]] known as the [[telepathic pitcher plant]]. She was one of only three crewmembers (the other being [[Naomi Wildman]] who, like Seven, had no emotional links to Earth and the Alpha Quadrant, and The Doctor, who was mostly immune) not affected by its illusion of a wormhole back to the Alpha Quadrant. Despite the crew's attempts to place her into [[stasis]], she was able to join forces with The Doctor and an alien named [[Qatai]] to free ''Voyager''. ({{VOY|Bliss}}) Like many Borg drones separated from the Collective, Seven suffered a degree of eremophobia (a fear of being alone), which she was forced to face when piloting ''Voyager'' through an area of space riddled with subnucleonic radiation while the crew was placed in stasis for the duration. ({{VOY|One}})

At first, Seven found [[holodeck]]s a pointless endeavor, fulfilling a Human desire to fantasize which she did not share. ({{VOY|One}}) She reluctantly took part in Janeway's [[Leonardo da Vinci]] simulation, but believed it to be a waste of time. ({{VOY|The Raven}}) Later, however, she visited many of Tom Paris's programs, including ''[[The Adventures of Captain Proton]]'' in which she played [[Constance Goodheart]] to Paris's [[Captain Proton]]. She still saw the program as frivolous, and quickly disabled [[Satan's Robot]] instead of playing along with the storyline of the program. ({{VOY|Night}}) In [[2376]], she visited the [[Fair Haven]] program. By this time, she engaged the holographic characters in conversation and participated in the fantasy. ({{VOY|Fair Haven}}) She and The Doctor attended a screening of ''[[Attack of the Lobster People]]'' in a recreation of the [[Palace Theater]] in [[2377]]. ({{VOY|Repression}}) Also during [[2377]], Seven created a holographic simulation of ''Voyager'' in order to improve her social abilities. In the program, her Borg implants had been permanently removed, she was given a Starfleet science uniform and [[crew quarters]]. She also explored a [[#Chakotay|romantic relationship]] with Chakotay while running the program. She began to use the program excessively, interfering with her duties. ({{VOY|Human Error}})

=== Relazioni ===
Initially, after her release from the Collective, Seven retained much of her former drone personality. She was harsh towards the rest of the crew and often disobeyed Captain Janeway's orders when she felt they were incorrect. However, as time went on she gradually formed a close bond with the others, especially with The Doctor, Tuvok, and Janeway herself. ({{VOY|The Gift}})

During her time with the Borg, Seven became used to the billions of voices that made up the Collective. After she was separated from them, she found solitude distressing. It became more apparent when Seven was left with The Doctor to watch over ''Voyager'' as it went through a radioactive [[Mutara class]] [[nebula]]. When The Doctor's program went off-line, she was alone in command of ''Voyager''. Her implants began malfunctioning, and she saw convincing hallucinations of an alien named [[Trajis Lo-Tarik]] and the ''Voyager'' crew, seriously injured by the effects of the nebula. She was able to ignore the illusions and eventually save the ''Voyager'' crew after the ship's systems began to malfunction as a result of the nebula's [[radiation]]. After this experience, Seven joined a group in the [[mess hall]] for the first time. ({{VOY|One}})

==== Famiglia ====
[[File:Hansens dark frontier.jpg|thumb|Seven's parents, Erin and Magnus Hansen]]
[[File:Irene Hansen.jpg|thumb|Seven's aunt, Irene Hansen]]
Seven began to read her parents' journals from their mission aboard the ''Raven'', as these were her only link to her parents. She encountered the drone which was originally her father while held captive by the Borg in [[2375]]. He most likely was destroyed along with the [[Borg Queen's vessel]]. ({{VOY|Dark Frontier}})

She had an ancestor, [[Sven "Buttercup" Hansen]], who was a [[22nd century]] prize boxer. ({{VOY|11:59}})

Seven was present for some of the conversations the ''Voyager'' crew had with families after two-way communication was established in [[2378]]. She was reluctant to contact her aunt, [[Irene Hansen]], but the experiences of the crew convinced her it would be worthwhile. Irene was overjoyed to speak with her, but Seven was slightly uncomfortable when Irene used her real name, Annika. ({{VOY|Author, Author}})

{{bginfo|Seven's recognition of her father and the fear and hatred she felt because of his dehumanization is thought to be one of the reasons her opinion about the Borg changed from near admiration to loathing the Borg more than most characters.}}

Seven also had a "son". A transporter accident involving The Doctor's mobile emitter and Seven's nanoprobes resulted in the creation of a Borg drone, [[One]]. At first she was reluctant to teach the drone about individuality and life on ''Voyager'', but she eventually became attached to him, almost maternally. When One decided to allow himself to die for the benefit of the crew, Seven was deeply upset. ({{VOY|Drone}})

==== Amicizie ====
While under the influence of [[synthehol]], Seven told The Doctor and several other ''Voyager'' crew that she considered them all "very good friends." ({{VOY|Timeless}})

===== Kathryn Janeway =====
[[File:Kathryn Janeway helps Seven.jpg|thumb|Janeway tries to help Seven remember her life before being assimilated]]
Captain Janeway made the decision to sever Seven of Nine from the Collective. She helped her through the difficult transition to Humanity in [[2374]], trying to force memories of her life as Annika Hansen to surface. ({{VOY|The Gift}}) Janeway also tried to tutor Seven in the arts and further cultivate her Humanity. ({{VOY|The Raven}}) Seven was not hesitant to question Captain Janeway's decisions, sometimes publicly. She thought Janeway placed the crew in unnecessary danger by exploring the Delta Quadrant and contacting civilizations such as the [[Mari]], rather than setting a course for home. ({{VOY|Random Thoughts}})

When ''Voyager'' believed that Starfleet had sent the {{USS|Dauntless}} to bring the crew home in late 2374, Seven did not want to return with the crew. She requested to remain in the Delta Quadrant, possibly returning to the Borg Collective. Janeway was dismayed that Seven had not found an appreciation for her new life in the year she spent aboard ''Voyager''. Later, the ship was found to be a fake created by [[Arturis]] in order to deliver the ''Voyager'' crew to the Borg. While trapped aboard the ship, Seven confessed to Captain Janeway that she was thankful for her individuality and was not eager to return to the Collective. She also confessed that it was fear of the unknown, that is, what will happen after she returns to Earth was what discouraged her from going back. ({{VOY|Hope and Fear}})

In [[2375]], Seven inadvertently helped The Doctor recover memories of Ensign [[Ahni Jetal]], erased from his database when they caused problems with his ethical subroutines. Captain Janeway intended to erase the memories once again, but Seven voiced concern. She felt that erasing The Doctor's memories would essentially mean turning a blind eye to his development as an individual. Seven admitted that she saw Janeway as a role model, but began to question that image after her treatment of The Doctor. This gave Janeway more to think about, and she decided to restore the memories to The Doctor. ({{VOY|Latent Image}})

Seven of Nine often had the ear of the captain, coming to her whenever she needed moral guidance, or wanted to express something she had learned about Humanity. One such occasion occurred in [[2378]], when Seven dropped a barrier protecting the [[Ventu]] from cultural contamination. Before making any command decisions, Janeway asked Seven what she thought of the Ventu; Seven found them antiquated, but resourceful. She believed that if the [[Ledosian]]s were allowed to contaminate them more, "something unique would be lost." ({{VOY|Natural Law}})

In an [[alternate timeline]], Seven of Nine was fatally wounded on an away mission and died upon her return to ''Voyager''. Her death deeply affected the Janeway of that time.

===== B'Elanna Torres =====
''Voyager'' engineer [[B'Elanna Torres]] was distrustful of Seven, and the two almost came to blows several times during Seven's early days on ''Voyager''. Torres was stunned that Seven experienced no remorse over the fate of civilizations such as the [[Caatati]], devastated by the Borg. ({{VOY|Day of Honor}}) Torres believed Seven was cold, rude, and acted like the crew of ''Voyager'' were Borg drones. She told Chakotay that she did not want to be held responsible if she and Seven got into a physical altercation. Chakotay, in turn, put Torres' own attitude in check when he made it clear that she needed to find a way to work with Seven and that she would be held responsible if a fight occurred. Seven earned some of Torres' respect when she used a feedback pulse to disable a Hirogen who threatened the ship's use of the communications network in [[2374]]. ({{VOY|Message in a Bottle}}) Seven studied Torres and future husband Tom Paris during their courtship, even noting the times when the two had sexual relations. Upon discovering this in [[2375]], Torres was quite incensed. ({{VOY|Someone to Watch Over Me}})

While the two women would never become close friends, they did develop a good working relationship as time passed. By [[2377]], the two had grown more comfortable with each other. Torres comforted Seven when she was faced with death after her cortical node malfunctioned, telling her that she made valuable contributions to the crew of ''Voyager''. ({{VOY|Imperfection}}) Torres talked to Seven about Paris shortly before their marriage in 2377. Seven suggested that Torres try to participate in some of Paris's interests in order to improve their relationship, which led to Torres' participation in the [[Antarian Trans-stellar Rally]]. ({{VOY|Drive}}) To Torres' shock, Seven presented her with a baby shower present and complimented her on her hair the following year. ({{VOY|Human Error}})

===== Naomi Wildman =====
[[File:Naomi Wildman, 2376.jpg|thumb|Naomi Wildman]]
[[Naomi Wildman]], the first child born aboard ''Voyager''. She was initially scared of Seven and afraid that she could assimilate her. Soon, she became fascinated with Seven, and began following her in early [[2375]]. Seven was initially annoyed with her, and disapproved of Naomi's study of Borg species designations. While Seven was experiencing problems due to contact with the infected vinculum, one of the personalities to emerge was that of a small child. She played [[kadis-kot]] with Naomi, to Naomi's delight. After the crisis was resolved, Seven decided to instruct Naomi in astrometrics, giving her several star charts and species information to study. Seven also requested a game of kadis-kot with Naomi. ({{VOY|Infinite Regress}}) They became friends, going to lunch or playing games of kadis-kot. They had in common that they often couldn't understand the crew's determination to return to Earth. This fact proved helpful when ''Voyager'' was confronted by the [[telepathic pitcher plant]], which made the rest of the crew see it as a wormhole to Earth. Seven and Naomi were unaffected due to their indifference about returning home and, aided by [[Qatai]], who had hunted the creature for years, and The Doctor, they were able to trick the creature into expelling ''Voyager''. ({{VOY|Bliss}})
When Seven was kidnapped by the Borg, Naomi demonstrating her determination to save Seven, and presented to Captain Janeway a plan to rescue Seven.({{VOY|Dark Frontier}})
Seven once stated that she thought of Naomi as her family on board ''Voyager''. ({{VOY|Survival Instinct|The Voyager Conspiracy}})

==== Maternità surrogata ====
[[File:Seven Children Identities.jpg|thumb|left|Seven interacts with the Borg children]]
In [[2376]], Seven became a temporary mother figure to a group of children whom ''Voyager'' had discovered aboard a derelict Borg vessel. She cared for the children, named [[Icheb]], [[Mezoti]], [[Rebi]], and [[Azan]], until the latter three were returned to [[Wysanti|their own people]] in [[2377]]. ({{VOY|Collective|Child's Play|Imperfection}}) Seven was frustrated with her initial attempts to tutor the children. She designed a rigid schedule for their activities, enacting serious punishment when they failed to adhere to the schedule. They rebelled against the restrictions, and an exasperated Seven told Chakotay she no longer wished to supervise them. He made her realize that while consistency is important, children also need spontaneity. Her efforts were much more successful once she made allowances for that. ({{VOY|Ashes to Ashes}})

===== Icheb =====
After discovering that he had been genetically engineered as a weapon against the Borg, the eldest of the children, Icheb, remained with ''Voyager'' and he and Seven formed a close relationship. ({{VOY|Child's Play}}) Icheb expressed a desire to apply for [[Starfleet Academy]] admission, and hoped Seven would speak to the captain about having Commander Tuvok teach him preliminary courses. Around this time, Icheb donated his own [[cortical node]] when the failure of Seven's jeopardized her life. She initially refused to accept his help, placing his safety above her own despite his research showing that he was far more likely to survive the loss of the node than she was. ({{VOY|Imperfection}})

==== Amore ====
[[Harry Kim]] became physically attracted to Seven shortly after she joined ''Voyager''. Noticing this she addressed the situation with him, asking him if he desired to "copulate", thereby embarrassing him. However, she did tell Kim late at night in the mess hall that she was willing to explore her sexuality and told him to take his clothes off. ({{VOY|Revulsion}}) The attraction was also painfully obvious to the rest of the ''Voyager'' crew. ({{VOY|Revulsion|Hunters}}) She seduced him in a dream caused by aliens encountered in [[2374]]. ({{VOY|Waking Moments}})

Under The Doctor's tutelage, Seven first explored true romance in [[2375]]. She chose engineering crewmember [[William Chapman]] after determining that their interests were compatible. However, Seven's directness was too overbearing for Chapman, and the date ended up in disaster when Seven accidentally tore a [[ligament]] in his shoulder while dancing. ({{VOY|Someone to Watch Over Me}})

In [[2378]], Seven was distressed to discover that the Borg had deliberately programmed the implants of their drones to shut down in the event that the drone began to experience strong emotion, thus killing the drone. The Doctor believed he could remove the affected implant, but Seven refused treatment. Later that year, she changed her mind, and she underwent the surgery. ({{VOY|Human Error|Endgame}})

===== Axum =====
While Seven was assisting the drones of Unimatrix Zero, she mainly dealt with a man named [[Axum]], with whom she had had a romantic relationship within Unimatrix Zero while she was still a drone. The relationship sparked again, strengthening her resolve to help those within the Unimatrix. However, Axum was physically aboard a scout vessel at the border of [[fluidic space]] in a remote sector of the [[Beta Quadrant]], making it impossible to contact him again once Unimatrix Zero was destroyed. ({{VOY|Unimatrix Zero|Unimatrix Zero, Part II}})

===== Il Dottore =====
[[File:Seven and The Doctor.jpg|thumb|Seven gives The Doctor a friendly kiss]]
[[The Doctor]] was responsible for the removal of Seven's implants, and also conducted her weekly maintenance sessions. He also took it upon himself to teach Seven social behavior, using the same interpersonal relationship exercises Kes once practiced with him. ({{VOY|Prey}}) Later, he created a holodeck simulation of ''Voyager'' for her to become more comfortable with large social gatherings. ({{VOY|One}})

The Doctor encouraged Seven to explore romantic relationships in [[2375]], coaching her in the basics of dating and grooming. He also discovered her singing voice, and the two sang a duet of "[[You Are My Sunshine]]". He was partially motivated by a wager made with Ensign Paris, who believed that Seven would not be able to bring a date to a reception planned aboard ''Voyager'' without making a scene. Although Seven's date with Lieutenant Chapman ended up in disaster, she attended the reception with The Doctor, and charmed the guests with a toast to individuality. However, she was hurt to discover that The Doctor's help was due to the bet. At this point, The Doctor found himself falling in love with Seven, but refused to admit it to her. He tried to apologize to her, but she came to him first and said she no longer needed the lessons in romance because there were no suitable mates aboard. The Doctor was very disappointed that Seven did not reciprocate his feelings. ({{VOY|Someone to Watch Over Me}})

In [[2376]], The Doctor was stranded aboard the {{USS|Equinox}} along with Seven, and the crew disengaged his morality subroutines to extract activation codes for their warp drive from Seven's cranial implants, which would leave her mentally disabled. The Doctor almost went through with the procedure, but Captain [[Rudolph Ransom]] stopped him. He apologized to Seven for the incident, and she held no ill-will towards him. ({{VOY|Equinox, Part II}})

The Doctor created a subroutine for daydreaming in early [[2376]]. Seven featured prominently in several fantasies, either serving as a damsel in distress or competing with other female ''Voyager'' crewmembers for The Doctor's affections. He even fantasized about painting her in the nude. When the fantasies began to overrun his program, his mental activity was tied into the holodeck, allowing Seven to see what he had been daydreaming. She did not take offense, but after she kissed him following Captain Janeway's announcement that the [[Emergency Command Hologram]] subroutines would be developed, she made it clear that it was simply a platonic gesture. ({{VOY|Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy}})

[[File:Seven-Doctor Preening.jpg|thumb|The Doctor as Seven of Nine]]
While Ensign Kim, Seven, and The Doctor conducted a routine survey on board the ''Delta Flyer'' in [[2377]], they were captured by a race known as the [[Lokirrim]]. The Lokirrim had waged war against holographic lifeforms who rebelled against Lokirrim rule, and as a result, banned all holographic activity within their borders. Seven transferred The Doctor's program to her cortical implant in order to hide him from the Lokirrim and prevent him from being decompiled. In the process, The Doctor took control of Seven's motor abilities, and was essentially trapped in her body. The Doctor tried to engineer an escape by cultivating a relationship with a Lokirrim official, [[Ranek]], but the new sensations of taste and emotion were too tempting for The Doctor. He ended up overindulging in several foods and causing pain to Seven. Ranek later called Seven to the ship's bridge with the intention of setting up a romantic liaison. Although The Doctor was able to see his command codes, Ranek attempted to kiss him in Seven's body, which was not reciprocated. Shortly afterward, he went to complain about the incident to [[Jaryn]], a crewmember The Doctor had been working with to treat injured Lokirrim crew. The Doctor became sexually aroused when Jaryn gave Seven a neck massage. Both incidents greatly irritated Seven, and once The Doctor had been returned to the [[mobile emitter]] they got into an argument about the values of indulgence. The Doctor felt Seven showed excessive restraint and did not allow for superfluous pleasure, which The Doctor believed was an important part of life. Kim managed to return the subject to escape, and The Doctor and Seven worked together once again to transmit a distress signal to ''Voyager''. The Doctor was downloaded back into Seven's implants, and is able to convince Ranek to join her on a "second date." They knocked him out at the first available opportunity, and transmitted a message to ''Voyager'' including the ship's command codes. Their plan was discovered by Jaryn, and Seven was taken captive. After ''Voyager'' arrived, Seven returned The Doctor's program to the mobile emitter and they escaped. Upon their return to the ship, Seven decided that The Doctor had a point about her restraint concerning pleasures such as food. She brought a meal to sickbay and described the sensations of eating it to The Doctor, allowing him to experience it vicariously. ({{VOY|Body and Soul}})

When The Doctor's rights as an individual came into question, Seven testified at the hearing conducted with Starfleet Command. She spoke highly of The Doctor, appreciative of his efforts to develop her individuality. ({{VOY|Author, Author}})

In [[2378]] when The Doctor believed he was about to die, he finally admitted his feelings for her, and was embarrassed when he survived. ({{VOY|Renaissance Man}}) The Doctor was also crestfallen when he learned Seven had begun to date Chakotay. ({{VOY|Endgame}})

===== Chakotay =====
[[File:Chakotay and Seven.jpg|thumb|Seven of Nine and Chakotay share a private moment in 2378]]
Like many of the crew, [[Chakotay]] was distrustful of Seven during her first year on board. He questioned Captain Janeway when she chose to leave Seven in control while the ship traversed a Mutara-class nebula. ({{VOY|One}})

Chakotay was interested in the early history of space exploration, and jumped at the chance to retrieve the ''[[Ares IV]]'' command module from a [[graviton ellipse]] encountered by ''Voyager'' in [[2376]]. Seven saw this fascination as dangerous, and she was proven right when the ''Delta Flyer'', sent to retrieve the module, was trapped in the ellipse. She was upset with Chakotay, but her attitude changed when she beamed over to the command module to retrieve a component to repair the damaged ''Flyer''. Chakotay told her to savor the moment and recover as much history as possible. She replayed Lieutenant [[John Kelly]]'s logs, and was touched by his devotion to duty. She had his body beamed back to the ''Flyer'' and spoke in admiration of Kelly at his funeral aboard ''Voyager''. ({{VOY|One Small Step}})

Seven considered a romantic relationship with Chakotay in [[2378]]. In her holodeck simulation of ''Voyager'', Chakotay became her love interest, and she went on several dates with him. To her embarrassment, The Doctor learned of the simulation when she collapsed on the holodeck due to her Borg programming, designed to shut down the implants of a drone should he/she experience strong emotion. These implants would require dangerous, repeated surgeries to remove, and Seven chose not to proceed. ({{VOY|Human Error}}) The Doctor strove to develop a safer method of removing this obstacle to her development and several months later he was able to remove the implants with a single surgical procedure. After the affected implants were removed, Seven was free to become involved with the real Chakotay, and the two began dating in [[2378]]. Neelix gave Seven ideas for dates. In an alternate timeline, when Admiral Janeway was forced to convince Captain Janeway to return to the nebula, she revealed that Seven of Nine and Chakotay later married. ({{VOY|Endgame}})

== Psicologia ==
The Doctor was able to remove most of Seven's implants and restore most of her Human appearance, but she still had some Borg technology left; these were tied into her vital functions, and removing them would have killed her. She was also still in need to [[Regeneration|regenerate]], like any Borg drone, using a [[Borg alcove]], although she had been known to not need regeneration of extended periods of time. ({{VOY|Natural Law}}) She was given a special suit and also issued a [[combadge]]. ({{VOY|The Gift}})

As a former drone, Seven had considerable superior physical characteristics over most Humans. Her visual acuity was vastly superior, due to her [[ocular implant]], along with an eidetic memory and had superior physical strength for a healthy Human woman her age. ({{VOY|The Gift|Vis à Vis|Tsunkatse|Scientific Method|Relativity}}) As for her regular Human senses, they were more acute than the average Human as well. ({{VOY|Body and Soul}}) Her [[heart]] and [[respiratory system]] were completely re-enforced. ({{VOY|The Haunting of Deck Twelve}}) She was also much more resistant to injury and many forms of [[radiation]], including [[chroniton]] and [[subnucleonic radiation|subnucleonic]] radiation that would quickly kill an ordinary Human. ({{VOY|Year of Hell|One}}) In addition, she became an extremely proficient martial artist, mastering the [[Norcadian]] martial art of [[Tsunkatse]]. ({{VOY|Tsunkatse}}) With her Borg implants, she was also able to serve as a physical host to any holographic character. ({{VOY|Body and Soul}})

Her enhanced Borg physiology also had its down sides, such as being prone to malfunction or failure or receiving unwanted transmissions from the [[Borg Queen]] or other Borg devices. ({{VOY|The Raven||Dark Frontier|Imperfection}}) Her powerful [[nanoprobe]]s were very sought-after and in the [[Ferengi]] market each sold for six bars of [[latinum]]. In fact, in [[2377]] Ferengi marauders attempted to obtain Seven of Nine's nanoprobes by perpetrating an elaborate scheme. Seven's nanoprobes had multiple applications which made them so valuable, including slowing the aging process and even re-animating dead tissue. ({{VOY|Inside Man}}) As the result of an infected Borg vinculum that had identified her as an errant drone and was trying to reintegrate her into the collective, Seven once developed [[multiple personality disorder]] exhibiting the behavior and personalities of the individuals assimilated by the Borg during her eighteen years as a drone. ({{VOY|Infinite Regress}}) When she was once experimenting with the nature of individuality and intimate relationships, experiencing a host of strong emotions unfamiliar to her, her [[cortical node]] shut down as a fail-safe mechanism to deactivate drones who started to regain their emotions. ({{VOY|Human Error}})

==Sette di Nove alternative ==
===Ologrammi===
[[File:Seven nude hologram.jpg|thumb|Seven of Nine, projected from The Doctor's daydreams]] 
Seven of Nine was [[Holographic duplicate|holographically duplicated]] on a number of occasions:
*Seven of Nine was created by [[The Doctor]] so he could practice expressing his romantic feelings to the real Seven. ({{VOY|Someone to Watch Over Me}})
*A holographic representation of Seven in the nude was being painted by The Doctor when his daydreams were projected into the [[holodeck]]. ({{VOY|Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy}})
*A hologram of Seven was used in order to evaluate the chances of a successful replacement of Seven's cortical node. ({{VOY|Imperfection}})
*A hologram of Seven as a Borg Drone was used by the [[Kyrian Museum of Heritage]] set in [[2374]], to detail their encounter with the {{Warship Voyager}}, as an aid to a history lesson.({{VOY|Living Witness}})

===Realtà e timeline alternative===
In [[2374]], most of ''Voyager''{{'}}s crew was duplicated by a [[biomimetic lifeform]] known as the "[[Silver Blood]]." ({{VOY|Demon}}) The crew eventually built a duplicate of ''Voyager'' as well and left the [[Class Y planet|Class Y]] world. They began to forget their origins and ultimately started to believe that they were the real ''Voyager'' crew and set a course for the Alpha Quadrant. By mid [[2375]], they had developed an enhanced [[warp drive]] and were closer to the Alpha Quadrant than the real ''Voyager''. At the wedding of that ship's Tom Paris and B'Elanna Torres, Seven caught the bouquet.

Shortly following this event, the enhanced warp drive began to degrade the structure of the ship and the crew, as it was harmful to the "Silver Blood." Captain Janeway decided to continue to the Alpha Quadrant in spite of this discovery, and did not attempt to locate a Class Y planet until many of the crew had succumbed to the degradation and the ship was severely damaged. Seven was one of the last crew members to degrade, and she attempted to build a message beacon out of non-affected materials to launch and hopefully be recovered. The beacon was later destroyed after the launch mechanism failed, and the ''Voyager'' disintegrated just as the real ''Voyager'' caught up to it. ({{VOY|Course: Oblivion}})

Sometime in the 29th century, Captain [[Braxton]], of the Federation timeship {{USS|Relativity}}, went back to [[2371]] and planted a [[temporal disruptor]] on ''Voyager'' in order to destroy it. The crew of the ''Relativity'' recruited Seven of Nine from late [[2375]] to help find the device because her [[ocular implant]] was capable of detecting it. Seven was altered in order to look Human, given a blue [[Starfleet uniform]], and sent to several time periods to pursue Braxton. Unfortunately, the side effects of the time travel were detrimental, and Seven died twice before discovering that Braxton was responsible. Further complicating matters, the timeline was contaminated by Seven's presence twice in the year [[2371]] and once in [[2375]], shortly before Seven was taken. Eventually, Braxton was apprehended and Captain Janeway helped repair the timeline by stopping Braxton before he ever had the chance to plant the disruptor. Slightly confused, Seven and Janeway were returned and reintegrated to the year [[2375]] and instructed not to tell of their experiences under order of the [[Temporal Prime Directive]]. ({{VOY|Relativity}})

When ''Voyager'' was fractured into several different time periods upon encountering a [[spatial rift]] in [[2377]], the cargo bay was reverted to [[2374]] when the Borg first transported onto ''Voyager''. Chakotay was the only crew member not affected, and contacted Seven of Nine of this time period. She designed a plan to use a [[chroniton]] field to bring the ship back into temporal sync. She later helped the ''Voyager'' crew retake engineering from [[Seska]] in [[2373]]. ({{VOY|Shattered}})

In an [[alternate timeline]] occurring shortly after ''Voyager''{{'}}s first encounter with the Krenim in [[2374]], Seven developed a [[temporal shield]]ing technology which protected the ship from the Krenim [[chroniton torpedo]]es as well as alterations in the timeline caused by [[Annorax]]'s [[Krenim weapon ship|weapon ship]]. The shield was perfected when she determined the exact phase variance of an intact torpedo lodged in ''Voyager''{{'}}s hull, found while making repairs to ''Voyager''{{'}}s badly-damaged systems. The torpedo detonated while Seven and Tuvok were nearby. Although Seven was unharmed, Tuvok was blinded. She assisted him in daily tasks aboard ''Voyager'', as surgery to correct the blindness was impossible in ''Voyager''{{'}}s state. When ''Voyager''{{'}}s crew was forced to share quarters due to power failures, she shared quarters with Ensign [[Brooks (Ensign)|Brooks]]. Seven found living with her difficult, as her personal habits were "chaotic." Seven remained aboard ''Voyager'' when most of the crew abandoned ship. ({{VOY|Year of Hell}}) Seven later helped fit temporal shielding to the [[Mawasi]] fleet. The timeline was eradicated when ''Voyager'' collided with the temporal weapon ship, erasing it from history, along with any events caused due to the existence of the weapon ship. ({{VOY|Year of Hell, Part II}})

In another alternate timeline created when ''Voyager'' used a quantum slipstream drive in [[2375]] but rode it all the way to the [[Alpha Quadrant]], the ship crash-landed on an arctic planet, killing its entire crew. Harry Kim and Chakotay, who had survived the trip in the ''Delta Flyer'', spent fifteen years trying to locate ''Voyager''. They developed a plan to use a Borg [[temporal transmitter]] that they stole from the Federation to transmit the correct variance to Seven of Nine's cranial [[interplexing beacon]] in the past and therefore alter history. They stole the ''Delta Flyer'' and took it to ''Voyager'', needing Seven's cranial implant and The Doctor's expertise to find her translink frequency allowing them to send the course corrections to {{USS|Voyager}} and prevent the crash. Seven was located on the bridge and the reactivated Doctor removed her cranial implant. Once he was able to find her [[translink frequency]] &ndash; 108.44236000 &ndash; he attached it to the beacon. The first attempt to send the correction directly to her cranial implant failed, and ''Voyager'' was still lost. Kim then sent another correction, designed to collapse the slipstream, just before the ''Flyer'', the alternate [[Harry Kim]], [[The Doctor|Doctor]], [[Chakotay]], and his girlfriend [[Tessa Omond]] were destroyed by the {{USS|Challenger|NCC-71099}}. The new plan worked, thus negating their deaths, and ''Voyager'' was saved. ({{VOY|Timeless}})

In yet another alternate timeline erased due to the actions of Admiral Kathryn Janeway, Chakotay and Seven were married aboard ''Voyager'' in the [[2380s]]. However, Seven was killed on an away mission before ''Voyager'' returned home, and Janeway blamed herself for her death. This was a major motivation for her to travel back to [[2378]] and alter the past to bring ''Voyager'' home in that year. ({{VOY|Endgame}})

In the [[31st century]] simulation of ''Voyager'' at the [[Kyrian Museum of Heritage]], the incomplete records from ''Voyager''{{'}}s visit in [[2374]] painted the crew as murderers and savages. Seven, still with full Borg implants, was the leader of a group of Borg aboard ''Voyager'' who were sent to assault several [[Kyrian]]s. This simulation was corrected after the reactivation of a backup copy of ''Voyager''{{'}}s EMH from the [[EMH backup module]] stolen during the ship's visit. ({{VOY|Living Witness}})

== Miscellaneous ==
Seven's first real food after being severed from the Borg collective was [[chadre'kab]]. ({{VOY|The Raven}}) She also developed a fondness for [[strawberry|strawberries]], left over from her childhood. ({{VOY|Author, Author}})

In The Doctor's {{USS|Vortex}} [[holonovel]] entitled ''[[Photons Be Free]]'', Seven's alter ego was a former drone named "[[Three of Eight]]". She was the only person aboard the ''Vortex'' who spoke in defense of The Doctor, and helped him escape after he was arrested for expanding his program. She pleaded with Captain "[[Jenkins (Captain)|Jenkins]]" to prevent The Doctor's program from being decompiled, calling it a crime that individuals like The Doctor were not appreciated. When Tom Paris temporarily rewrote the program, the character became "[[Two of Three]]". Paris made light of The Doctor's obvious crush on Seven by making the holographic doctor in his program chauvinistic. The EMH character used a Klingon [[aphrodisiac]] on "Two of Three," causing her to react positively to his affections. ({{VOY|Author, Author}})

Seven and Chakotay made [[first contact]] with the [[Ventu]] on [[Ledos]] before the start of a conference on that planet. Initially hesitant to reach out to the [[Bronze Age|primitive]] race, Seven is so moved by her experiences with the Ventu that she convinced Janeway to restore the [[energy barrier]] protecting the Ventu's lands and customs from the [[Ledosian]]s. ({{VOY|Natural Law}})

==Appendices==
=== Background ===
* The concept of Seven of Nine began while [[Brannon Braga]] was sitting at home, late one night, and saw a televised promotion for the Borg-centric [[VOY Season 3|third season]] installment {{e|Unity}}. (''Braving the Unknown: Season Four'', [[VOY Season 4 DVD]]; ''[[Cinefantastique]]'', Vol. 30, No. 9/10, p.&nbsp;75) The idea of having a Borg crewman aboard the starship ''Voyager'' &ndash; a notion that instantly appealed to Braga &ndash; occurred to him as he was watching the advertisement. (''[[Cinefantastique]]'', Vol. 30, No. 9/10, p.&nbsp;75) He then brought the character concept to the attention of fellow writer [[Joe Menosky]]. Braga later remembered, "''I called Joe Menosky, and pitched this idea, and he thought it was a great idea. And then we talked about it and all the things.... 'What would that mean, to have a Borg character?' It would be really cool.''" (''Braving the Unknown: Season Four'', [[VOY Season 4 DVD]]) Braga also related, "''I called Joe Menosky and we brainstormed. I wanted to make sure it wasn't a stupid idea.''" (''[[Cinefantastique]]'', Vol. 30, No. 9/10, p.&nbsp;75) After Menosky approved of the concept, Braga called Executive Producer [[Rick Berman]]. "''It was late, but I was so excited [....] He really liked the idea but he had the stroke of genius, 'Make it a Borg babe,{{'}}''" said Braga. "''And we just talked about it, for a couple hours, and we just thought, 'This is a really cool idea. This could be really... just the thing we need.{{'}}''" (''Braving the Unknown: Season Four'', [[VOY Season 4 DVD]]) This marathon conversation between Berman and Braga took place in the spring of {{y|1997}}. (''[[A Vision of the Future - Star Trek: Voyager]]'', p.&nbsp;348) Berman was not the only executive producer to whom Braga suggested the idea of a Borg crew member, however. "''I [...] took it in to Rick Berman and [[Jeri Taylor]],''" Braga said, "''and they liked the idea.''" (''[[Cinefantastique]]'', Vol. 30, No. 9/10, p.&nbsp;75) Taylor herself commented, "''The idea of having a female Borg was one of those that came largely through spontaneous combustion. It started with Brannon, and quickly gained a great deal of support.''" (''[[A Vision of the Future - Star Trek: Voyager]]'', p.&nbsp;348)

*Braga opined Seven of Nine was the [[Spock]] or [[Data]] the show needed. "''The Doctor came close'', he said. "''I liked the Doctor Character. But Seven of Nine to me was like {{w|The Wild Child}} – I was inspired by that Truffaut movie about trying to tame someone who was raised by wolves or in this case someone raised by Borg.''" {{TrekMovie.com|2014/08/03/stlv-brannon-braga-misses-working-on-star-trek-talks-frankly-about-voyager-enterprise-more/}}

* Brannon Braga envisioned, upon devising the Seven of Nine character, that she would ultimately be portrayed as meeting an unfortunate end. "''Seven of Nine was, for me, designed to be a character that was gonna die tragically,''" Braga admitted. "''I planned that.''" [http://trekcore.com/blog/2013/03/exclusive-brannon-braga-interview-part-ii] He elaborated "''I thought she should have somehow sacrificed herself to get the closest thing she had to a family home. I think it would have been amazing but I was shot down. I was not running the show at the time it was [[Ken Biller]] and Rick.''" {{TrekMovie.com|2014/08/03/stlv-brannon-braga-misses-working-on-star-trek-talks-frankly-about-voyager-enterprise-more/}}

*Seven of Nine was played by [[Jeri Ryan]]. She first appeared in the [[VOY Season 4|fourth season]] opener, {{e|Scorpion, Part II}}. Young Annika Hansen was played by [[Erica Lynne Bryan]] in "Scorpion, Part II" and {{e|The Raven}}, and [[Katelin Petersen]] in {{e|Dark Frontier}}.

*Another actress who auditioned for the role of Seven was [[Performers considered for Star Trek roles#Hudson Leick|Hudson Leick]] (Callisto from ''Xena: Warrior Princess''). (''[[Beyond the Final Frontier]]'', p.&nbsp;308; [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0500098/bio]) Yet another actress who read for the part was [[Performers considered for Star Trek roles#Claudia Christian|Claudia Christian]] (Ivanova from ''[[Babylon 5]]''). (''[[Beyond the Final Frontier]]'', p.&nbsp;308) Brannon Braga was involved in the casting process from the start. He commented, "''We read a lot of different kinds of actresses of different ages. We narrowed it down to three, and Jeri Ryan was the best.''" (''[[Cinefantastique]]'', Vol. 30, No. 9/10, p.&nbsp;75) Ryan tried out for the role in mid-May 1997. She recalled, "''I, of course, auditioned like everyone else. As a matter of fact, I read a couple of times and then I got the job.''" ({{STM|33}}, p.&nbsp;17)

*Seven's infamous costume began as a silver version in {{e|The Gift}}, which was also used in {{e|Day of Honor}} and {{e|Revulsion}}. It was retired because the material was too restrictive for actress Jeri Ryan's movement and it was difficult for her to breathe, especially when she sat down. A new brown uniform, featuring a lower neckline, debuted in {{e|The Raven}}, and a variant with a small collar was seen in {{e|Scientific Method}}. A cobalt blue costume with grey shoulders and arms was first seen in {{e|In the Flesh}} but was replaced by an all-cobalt version in {{e|The Disease}}. A plum-colored outfit was first seen in {{e|Dark Frontier}}. She only wore a [[Starfleet uniform]] on two occasions, the first being {{e|Relativity}}, when she was undercover in ''Voyager''{{'}}s past, and the second being in {{e|Human Error}}, in a [[hologram|holographic]] simulation. Seven's Borg costume was also revived in several episodes, mostly in [[Flashback (story device)|flashback]] scenes.

*Some fans jokingly call Seven "Barbie of Borg" and 36D of 9, due to the common belief that she was brought on board ''Voyager'' mainly to boost ratings among male viewers. Jeri Ryan freely admitted this to be true, saying, "''I knew exactly what I was in for when I had my first costume fitting. Clearly my character was added to the show for sex appeal, which remains the one way to get attention very quickly. I don't think it's the only way to get viewers to watch strong women, but it worked. ''". (TV Week magazine (Canada) of May 8-14, 1999 pages 6–7, 9 from "Super Moms", an [http://www.mirrorblue.com/annex/tvweek/index.shtml interview] by Michael Logan)

*[[Kate Mulgrew]] admitted she and Ryan did not see eye-to-eye while filming ''Voyager'' because "''I had thought 'damn, we were going to forgo all of this with a female captain.' But the demographics proved the audience wanted more sex.''" However, she reflected that Ryan "''did a marvelous job in a very difficult role. It was very clear to anyone with eyes in their head that Jeri Ryan’s beauty and sexual appeal were an important part of the numbers.''" {{TrekMovie.com|2014/08/03/stlv-kate-mulgrew-talks-jeri-ryan-relationship-more-from-voyager-cast-dancing-ferengi/}}

*The character Seven of Nine appeared in ninety-seven episodes of ''Star Trek: Voyager''. Counting the [[Kyrian]] recreation of the character in {{e|Living Witness}}, the [[Biomimetic lifeform|biomimetic]] copy in {{e|Course: Oblivion}}, and an illusory Seven of Nine in {{e|Barge of the Dead}}, she appeared in exactly one hundred episodes.

=== Apocrypha ===
* In the PC videogames ''[[Star Trek: Voyager - Elite Force|Star Trek: Elite Force]]'' and ''[[Star Trek: Elite Force II]]'', Seven was responsible for creating a device called "I-Mod" (Infinity Modulator). The I-Mod was specifically made to be used against the Borg. The I-Mod device was made into a weapon of its own (a rifle), capable of firing unique infinitely modulated shots that made adapting impossible.
* In the alternate future seen in the ''[[Pocket DS9|Deep Space Nine]]'' book trilogy ''[[Millennium]]'', Seven, along with ''Voyager'' and her crew, returned to the Alpha Quadrant at an unspecified time. By [[2399]], Seven had been promoted to [[admiral]]. Seven, along with [[Hugh]], helped to negotiate a treaty between the Federation and the [[Borg Collective]], in the name of fighting the [[Bajoran]]s, with whom the Federation was at war. In this future, she was apparently romantically involved with The Doctor. The entire timeline was reset thanks to [[Benjamin Sisko]] and the crew of [[Deep Space 9]].
* In the [[Star Trek: Voyager (Pocket)|''Voyager'' relaunch]] book series, Seven broke up with Chakotay, moved in with her aunt, and attained much undesired celebrity. She eventually joined a Federation "think tank" with The Doctor.
* In the ''Next Generation'' relaunch novel ''[[Before Dishonor]]'', Seven of Nine had become a civilian instructor at [[Starfleet Academy]] specializing in cybernetic technology. When Janeway was assimilated to become a new Borg Queen, Seven joined the crew of the {{USS|Enterprise|NCC-1701-E|-E}} to reactivate the [[planet killer]] weapon with the assistance of [[Geordi La Forge]] and [[Spock]] in an effort to attack and destroy the Borg ship attacking [[Earth]].
* Following the events of ''[[Star Trek: Destiny]]'', Seven of Nine's remaining Borg implants were seemingly destroyed. She underwent a severe emotional shift, yet to be explained, and began asserting her true name as Annika Hansen once again.
* In the timeline for ''[[Star Trek Online]]'' Seven of Nine joined Starfleet after ''Voyager''{{'}}s return to the Alpha Quadrant, and was assigned to a special Borg Task Force. When the task force was dissolved in 2385 &ndash; Starfleet believing the Borg were no longer a threat &ndash; Seven angrily disagreed with the decision and resigned from Starfleet, accepting a position at the Daystrom Institute instead. [http://startrekonline.com/timeline/2385.1]
* Seven appears in ''Delta Rising'', the second expansion to STO, voiced once again by Jeri Ryan. In the wake of "Operation Delta Rising", a campaign to return to the Delta Quadrant to fight the [[Species 8472|Undine]], Tuvok - now an admiral and commanding ''Voyager'' - asked Seven to leave the Daystrom Institute to work for the new Delta Alliance. Seven and her research team are rescued from a small outpost after the ship carrying them, the U.S.S. ''Callisto'', is destroyed. Following a [[Voth]] fleet that mysteriously disengaged from combat, Seven and her rescuers arrive at the homeworld of the [[Turei]], where they learn that the [[Vaadwaur]] have managed to gain advanced technology and have begun a campaign to reconquer the Delta Quadrant. Seven again expresses her guilt at awakening the Vaadwaur, but accepts Tuvok's offer to serve with him again on ''Voyager'' to combat the new threat. She also works alongside the [[Borg Cooperative]], a group of free Borg drones, in their efforts to avoid being reassimilated by the Collective or destroyed by their opponents.
