[edit] Plot summary
Several crew members are captured by the Borg and brought aboard a cube. They are not assimilated, however, as the drones present seem incapable of doing so. Moreover, scans of the cube show that these five drones are the only ones alive, and they are only children. A virus has killed all of the other Borg, and when the children emerged from their maturation chambers they found themselves alone. They desire to attack Voyager and assimilate its crew while they wait for other Borg ships to come and bring them back into the collective. They continue to hold several crew members hostage.
Seven of Nine speaks to the young drones as she accesses the cube's database. She finds that these "neonatal drones" have been deemed useless by the Borg, cut off from the collective, and abandoned. When the crew succeeds in disabling the cube and rescuing the hostages, they bring the four living Borg children back with them. The Doctor removes their no-longer-functioning Borg implants and the children are informed of their names and histories. There is a teenaged Brunali boy named Icheb, a preteen Norcadian girl named Mezoti, and two younger Wysanti brothers named Azan and Rebi.
