[Private to the EMH]

I understand that you are familiar with the Borg Queen?

[Private to Kirk]

[So Trip's on board again and hey not eight years behind her but she would kind of like to make a tradition out of drinking with him over this craziness.] Are you busy?

[Private to the Borg Queen]

How long has it been since you left your quarters? [Her best friend the cat is meowing in the background.]

[Private to the Seventh Doctor]

Have you ever attempted to-- [She doesn't know exactly what to call it, since he doesn't really meld, precisely.] --connect with another's mind who was significantly stronger than yours?

[DRINKING. YES.]

Uh--- no. What's up?

[IT'S A GOOD PLAN.]

Would you care to meet me in the pub?

Yeah, alright.

[And because she's a master of...not really talking all that much, she's heading for the pub.]

[Who needs talking. Your mouth is much better used to consume liquor. Kirk meets her up there, sliding into the seat next to her with a practiced grace.]

"So is it Trip?"

[She glances up at him, a glass of wine in front of her and, not very far away, the small bowl of chocolates. She has a feeling she might need them.]

He isn't from eight years in my past. It's a small consolation. [She's actually kind of happy he's on board, just. At the same time really upset.]

[Kirk honestly meant to ask her about it when he came on board but then the whole movie thing had thrown him for a loop.]

"When is he from then?"

We've met.

She is my inmate. I'd be interested in any advice you may have in dealing with her.

You have my sympathies.

I'll give you a report of all I know - and, if you like, information on Seven of Nine and her efforts to regain her humanity - but...

To be honest, Commander, I'm not sure what advice I can offer you. Reclaiming a drone is difficult enough - but rehabilitating the Borg Queen?

And yet she's here, which leads me to believe that she can be rehabilitated. I would appreciate any information on Seven of Nine that you feel appropriate to share; Commander Data told me of a Borg named Hugh. If there are other examples of recovered drones, I would like to study the information. [Since she kinda just. Supported blowing up the ones she met.]

I have, many times. They feel... overwhelming. Though not many minds are stronger than mine.

Why do you ask?

I've been considering melding with my inmate, but I'm...wary of the potential consequences.

Ooooh, yes. That could be quite overwhelming.

Perhaps some research into gestalt organisms might be in order, or mind melds with other artificial intelligences. If you like, I can give you the safe opportunity to communicate with my ship. She's a very powerful mind, but is meant to safely interact with others.

You're certain? [Paaaaaause] I'm relatively inexperienced in it; I've only melded on a few occasions in the past two years. [Or three, if the Barge counts, but. Whatever.]

She won't mind. It comes quite naturally to her and she's quite friendly. She connects to everyone that enters- a part of how their food preferences frequently end up in my cabinets. Only humans aren't aware of the connection.
