UNIMATRIX ZERO
PART II > Synopsis
Thanks to StarTrek.com:
Unimatrix Zero is
a secluded place within the Borg collective where drones can be
themselves while they regenerate, but only certain Borg have the ability
to visit. The Borg Queen considers Unimatrix Zero a threat because she
does not want her Borg to ever have traces of individuality, but Captain
Janeway thinks it could give the Federation allies within the
Collective. Janeway, Tuvok and B'Elanna Torres put Borg implants in
their bodies and infiltrate the Borg Cube to try and free the select few
that are able to go to Unimatrix Zero, giving them the ability to
maintain their individuality outside of Unimatrix Zero. The away team
has been injected with a neural suppressant to keep their Borg implants
from really connecting them to the Collective.
While the away team is on the Borg Cube, Seven of Nine goes to Unimatrix
Zero herself to tell the Borg within what the team is doing. Seven had
been able to go there when she was part of the Collective and she still
maintains that ability. In the past, she had a romantic relationship
there with her fellow Borg, Axum, and when she meets him there again,
she notices those feelings returning.
While the away team is headed for the Central Plexus of the Borg Cube,
Tuvok notices that his neural suppressant is wearing off and the Borg
Queen begins communicating with him telepathically. The Queen finally
convinces Tuvok to stop Janeway and Torres as they download a virus to
free the select group of drones. They manage to get the virus into the
system, but Tuvok prevents them from leaving. More Borg drones appear
and capture Captain Janeway, but Torres is able to get away. Tuvok
restrains Janeway and puts her in contact with the queen.
The Borg Queen makes Janeway watch on a viewscreen as she blows up a
different Borg Cube, destroying the thousands of lives on board, because
she lost contact with three of the drones due to Janeway's virus. The
Queen uses the virus Janeway used to free the drones and alters it to
actually kill the drones. She tells Janeway that unless the captain
tells the free drones to rejoin the collective, she will go to Unimatrix
Zero and kill all of the drones inside. Janeway is put into contact with
Chakotay on Voyager to tell him the free drones have to go back to the
collective, but instead of telling him that directly, she secretly tells
him to destroy Unimatrix Zero. Without Unimatrix Zero, the Queen will
not be able to find all of the free drones, and if she destroys all of
the Borg vessels they are on, she will destroy her entire fleet.
After Seven tells everybody in Unimatrix Zero of the plan, they all
agree that it is the best way to handle the situation and they offer to
help get the away team back to the U.S.S. Voyager. While Voyager is
preparing to attack the Borg Cube, a smaller Borg Sphere appears through
a transwarp conduit and hails them. Korok, a Klingon that has been
assimilated into the Collective, has taken over the Sphere and offers to
help them destroy the Cube. Chakotay accepts his offer and both ships
begin attacking the Cube. Just as the Borg Cube explodes, Harry Kim
manages to beam Janeway, Tuvok and Torres back to Voyager where they can
be relieved of their Borg implants.
Seven, meanwhile, has gone back to Unimatrix Zero one last time to say
goodbye to Axum. Axum and Seven are the only people left as Unimatrix
Zero falls apart around them. Axum tells Seven that he is on a Borg Cube
in a totally different part of the galaxy and though it seem like they
will never see each other again, he will find her. They both leave
Unimatrix Zero as it completely fritzes out of existence.
