    • Trivia
      Traditionally, Bajoran names have the surname first, personal name second; however, the group refers to the Bajoran, Marika Wilkarah, by her surname, Marika. It was noted in "Ensign Ro" that some Bajorans changed their names to have the surname last in order to better assimilate into non-Bajoran society.

    Three things in one episode
    One: who were 3of9 ,4of9,5of9,6of9 Two : how really disconnected 7of9 is from the Borg. Three : a few months of unabashed individuality is worth a lifetime of blind obedience. This was a great insight into Borgness verses the solitary mind.
