My human name is Annika Hansen, but that is irrelivant as I was assimilated into the Borg collective at a very young age, and remember little about my childhood. My Borg designation is Seven of Nine, Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix Zero-One. But you may call me Seven of Nine, or Seven if you wish. Aproximately four years ago my link to the collective was severed and I became a memeber of the crew of the Starfleet Ship U.S.S. Voyager. And an individual. During my stay on Voyager I developed a personae, interests, and even a sense of humor that are my own. I am very fortunate to have been given the opportunities I've been a recipient of aboard Voyager, and the crew has taught me much about my humanity (a crew made up of both Starfleet Officers and former Maquis). And although I no longer possess Borg perfection, I still strive for it and I retain all of the data I assimilated as a drone.
If you are unfamiliar with the U.S.S. Voyager, I should inform you that before I was part of the crew they became stranded 70,000 lightyears from Earth and Starfleet Headquarters by and entity called the Caretaker. Their quest (and obsession) had been to return to this planet; a goal I found ambitious, and at times irrational but nevertheless I respected their dedication. I was eager to see the basis of the crew's fixation, but this was accomanied by feelings of apprehension. As a former Borg drone, I was responsible for the destruction of millions of individuals and entire races. My presence there would no doubt raise questions and elicit fear, and even anger. I only hoped the Captain will be able to convince them that I was acting not as an individual but I was only doing what the collective conciousness dictated. Now that Voyager has returned home safely, I have learned that my my fears were both warranted and unwarranted. There are those who resent my presence, and believe I should be court-martialed for the crimes I commited. But there have also been many who've sympathized with my situation, and tried to make me feel a part of their society. I realize that I will have mixed experiences wherever I go, and have accepted this fact. I am not ungrateful for what I have recieved, and am proud of the individual I have become.
The construction of this profile was not my choosing, but I became agitated as many crewmembers have been urging me to make one. I find the pursuit of "friends" a trivial, and futile goal. I have made a profile, so if it serves any purpose let it be to educate others of my situation, and that of our ship, and as a way of contacting other members of Starfleet. As a former drone, I possess superior HTML abilities. I assure you, it is not a time consuming activity. Also I see no need to hide my friends or comments, as some might find them to be useful.
