[edit] Plot

On his return home, Icheb is greeted by his parents, but Seven of Nine feels that there is 'something wrong' with the whole affair. Putting it down to emotion, she ignores this but it slowly emerges that Icheb was not assimilated by accident. Instead, he was infected with a virus and sent quite purposefully by his parents to introduce this virus into the Borg Collective in the only way possible, and furthermore they intend to send him back to do this again. Voyager goes to intercept the ship Icheb is on, but a Borg sphere comes in. Seven uses the transporters to switch Icheb with a Photon Torpedo that disables the sphere's tractor beam while Voyager escapes.
