Storyline

Voyager investigates the birth of a nebula. Unfortunately, its intense blast wave catches an away mission shuttle, causing emergency beam out transporter signals to fuse the Doctor's mobile emitter with Seven's nanoprobes. The mobile emitter subsequently starts assimilating a science lab and assaults a crew member to create a new Borg drone built upon the emitter's twenty-ninth century technology.

Trivia

One's body armor has a design unlike any other Borg body armor. Aside from its unusual-looking composition, it has tubing at the ribs, legs and shoulders that glows blue every two seconds.

Goofs

The premise of the story is that some of Seven's nanoprobes, the Doctor's 29th century emitter, a Voyager science station, and a DNA sample from Ensign Mulcahey come together to create a 29th century Borg - One. The only biological matter in all this was from Mulcahey; so, one would think One should be a clone of Mulcahey, not a completely different person (with Mulcahey and One portrayed by different actors).

Wow!

This is Voyager firing on all cylinders. I'm still going through episodes, but I'm certain this will end up high on my list of favourites, not just of Voyager, but all of Star Trek.
