Chapter 1:

"Nutritional supplement 13 Alpha." Seven said to the replicator. There was a brief flash of light before Seven of Nine's morning meal appeared before her. Seven quickly ate the nutritional supplement and went over her schedule for the day in her daily log. Seven had her schedule perfected down to the minute, choosing the most efficient route to each location and finding new ways to avoid making pointless and inefficient small talk with Ensign Kim and Neelix.

Seven was about to leave the cargo bay and head to Astrometrics, but she heard the Captain's voice on her com-badge. "All senior staff report to the briefing room."

Seven caught the nearest Turbo-lift, in which Tom Paris was also using to get to the bridge. "Have any idea what this is about?" he asked Seven when she entered.

"No."

"Sure?"

"Yes."

"Harry told me that-"

Seven sighed slightly. "Mr. Paris, I would prefer if we continued in silence."

There was a moment of silence before Paris started talking again.

"Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed?" he asked.

"What?"

"Well, I guess it would be wrong side of the alcove for you. It's an old Earth expression that means you…have been in a bad mood since you woke up."

Seven took her seat between the Doctor and Commander Tuvok. "So here's what I want to show you all." Said Captain Janeway. She pointed to a nebula on the computer screen. At first Seven did not see what was so interesting about the nebula, but that was before she realized that it was not a nebula.

Lieutenant Torres beat her to the question. "What is it?"

"We don't know. That's we are changing course to go and investigate." Janeway said, obviously pleased with Voyager's discovery. Kim handed her a PADD. "This should have all of our scans on the…whatever it is."

As Seven neared Astrometrics she felt a slight throbbing in her skull. Seven ignored it; she could go to Sickbay later. Seven had work to do.

"Have you finished the Multi-Spectral scans yet?" Seven asked Crewman Tal Celes.

"Almost…done." The Bajoran crewman tapped the console. "Hmm…Did I do this right?" she asked very quietly.

"Are you directing your question to me or yourself?" Seven asked, knowing that she would check Celes' work later.

"Oh, I'm fine. Its right, I'm certain." She responded.

Seven turned and continued on her search through Federation and Borg databases for anything similar to this anomaly. That's when she heard Celes exclaim "That's impossible!"

"What is impossible?" Seven demanded.

"T-these scans…" Se handed the PADD to Seven.

The scans showed that this was a beak in the time space continuum, but it was not like anything Seven knew of. If the scans were correct, then this was a break in the universe itself. It proved the theory of Multiverses. But only if they were correct.

"Get this to the Bridge." She ordered Celes.

Seven continued her scans. While she was busy trying to understand the strange forces at work within the breakage. The scanners were acting straggly due to the radiation that surrounded the breakage, so she switched to the specialized Borg sensors. The Borg technology would be able to penetrate the radiation far more easily. Just then, Seven had the pain in her skull again, but it was stronger. She gritted her teeth and continued her advanced scans. The pain came back again even more fiercely. Seven tried to tap her com-badge but she felt paralyzed…and then came the voices. The collective is trying to contact me. Seven thought. The voices were at first weak and indistinguishable, but they grew stronger. There were so many voices, and it was different from the orderly voices of the Borg Collective. These voices were chaotic…individual. Farkas! Get back here you snow- brain! For Windhelm! I'll slit your belly like any old woman's purse! Let me show you the power of Talos Stormcrown! You have done well, mortal. You turned your back on me long ago, I'm leaving Solstheim forever! Fus Ro Dah! I used to be an adventurer like you…but I took an arrow to the knee.

"Seven…" said a faint, distant voice "Seven."

Light started to shine. The voices were gone. "Seven." The single voice said again.

Seven opened her eyes. She was in sickbay, and Captain Janeway and the Doctor were standing over her. The Doctor started to speak "Seven of Nine-"

"Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix Zero-One." She finished for him.

"How are you feeling?" the Doctor asked.

"I am…well enough to continue my scans." Seven tried to get up.

"Seven, Seven. Calm down, you need to rest." The Doctor said.

Janeway looked Seven directly in the eye. "We passed through the barrier of Radiation about an hour ago. We've dropped to impulse, and scanners aren't working."

"Captain, we need to go back. This…is unlike anything the Borg or the Federation has encountered. The ship-"

Janeway held up her hand for silence. "I looked over your scans. A rift in the multiverse. Fascinating but unlikely."

"At first I doubted the scans as well, coming from Crewman Celes…but I checked them myself. They are correct. We need to leave immediately." Seven insisted.

Captain Janeway sighed rather loudly. "Seven, the scans were incorrect. Mr. Kim and I went over them together."

"Then why are we wasting time by continuing into the anomaly?" Seven asked.

"We found warp trails leading into the anomaly. We believe that the may belong to the raiders that were attacking the colonies in the last sector."

Seven was not interested in the whereabouts of raiders in the last sector.

"Has any other crew member experienced the voices?" Seven asked the Doctor.

The Doctor stopped his samples. "Voices?"

Captain Janeway walked to the Doctor's side. "Voices? The Collective?"

Seven stiffened. "No, they were different. Chaotic…and individual."

"A-ha!" the Doctor exclaimed. "I think I've found the reason for your pain-and your voices."

"What is it?" Janeway asked, crossing her arms.

The Doctor showed Seven and Janeway an image of Seven's blood, which was a mixture of human blood cells and Borg nanoprobes. "Seven's nanoprobes are in a state of hyper-stimulation due to the radiation coming from the anomaly. Her implants have been malfunctioning by sending pain signals to her body."

Janeway looked closer at the image on the console. "And what about her voices?"

"The radiation has mostly likely affected some of her communication receptors. She is undergoing something similar to what happened when she encountered the Vinculum."

Seven opened her mouth to speak, but the Doctor interrupted her. Seven hated when he did that. "There's no need to call Commander Tuvok, though." He chuckled at his own mocking reference to the mind meld with the Vulcan Security Chief that had saved Seven's life. "I have an inoculation that will stop the effects of the radiation."

He gave her in inoculation in her neck, as usual.

The Captain's com-badge chirped. "Captain, we've reached the edge of the anomaly." Said Commander Chakotey.

Seven started to walk to the exit, but the Doctor stopped her, "Seven, where are you going?"

"I am needed on the bridge." Seven said.

"You aren't going anywhere but your alcove. The inoculation takes time to work. You'll feel much better after a good night's regeneration." The Doctor informed her.

"Captain-" Seven began.

"Seven, I think Voyager will be safe without you for a few hours. We're stuck at One-Quarter impulse for awhile. You won't miss much." Janeway said.

Seven didn't entirely agree with her, but she didn't argue. Seven left sickbay and headed to the Cargo Bay. As she neared the Cargo she passed Crewman Tal Celes. The Bajoran slowed for a half-second and looked at Seven as if she was expecting a thank you from her. "Crewman." Seven said.

Celes nodded and scampered off in the direction of the nearest Turbo-Lift.

When Seven entered the Cargo Bay, she felt a slight tingling on the back of her neck. She turned but only saw the Cargo Bay doors closing behind her. Then she heard the voices. Need something? Good job, lass. Skyrim belongs to the Nords! Hey, Skeever-butt! Keep your hands to yourself, sneak thief.

Seven regained her senses and began her regeneration cycle.

During her regeneration cycle, Seven began to dream. She saw images of a three figures standing over a ruined place. A city being destroyed. A huge black winged beast swooping out of the sky. The images startled Seven, but she had no desire to stop her regeneration cycle due to irrelevant thoughts. Then she felt a shaking that was outside of her unconscious mind. Seven stopped her cycle. After the Computer informed her that her Regeneration Cycle was incomplete, Seven felt the shaking again. She originally thought that Voyager was under attack, but there was no red alert sound.

Seven felt the tingling again, and turned to see a large blue burst of light about 5 meters away. It was slowly, but steadily moving closer towards her. Seven tapped her com-badge, but she got only static. The light moved faster. Seven knew that she did not have enough time to reach the Cargo Bay doors, so she grabbed a phaser and a tricorder. Seven closed her eyes as the light covered her...

The Bosmer vampire was running through the fields when he came upon the Nord woman. She was wearing a tight-fitting bodysuit. She had some sort metal gauntlet on one of her hands and another metal piece above her eye. He couldn't figure out what type of metal it was. Iron? Steel? Ebony? It didn't matter, he still had long way to go, and a free snack was lying right before him. The Bosmer quickly knelt down and turned her over to get a better area of her neck. When he did this, he realized how attractive the Nord was. Pity I can't take her and make her my own thrall, He thought sadly.

He bit her on the neck and tasted her fresh blood. It was slightly metallic in flavor and in all honesty wasn't that satisfying. The vampire saw the glow of the torches and heard the voices of the angry Vigilants of Stendarr closing in behind him. As he ran for his life, the vampire was unaware of the Borg nanoprobes slowly assimilating his body.
