The crew still haven't found out the truth. They all still think I'm 100% human. If only they knew the truth. I woke up today and I realised that it was nine years since the day I came back home. Nine years doesn't really seem that long. The crew don't know that I spent 18 years of my life with the Borg. They all think I was born and raised on earth. I was only on earth for the first three years of my life.
Do you remember how I became part of the Borg collective? We took a shuttle trip to a space station that was on the federation border. We never reached our destination; we were caught in a wormhole of some kind. The space station was able to beam you abroad at the very last moment. I wasn't so lucky. The shuttlecraft was flung into the delta quadrant. I was in the shuttlecraft on my own, stuck in the delta quadrant with Borg coming towards me. As a three year old I have no real memory of what it is like to be assimilated. I do remember crying out for my mum and dad, but you never came. 18 years later I was on an away mission with four other Borg drones, something went wrong and we were sucked though the same wormhole and back into the delta quadrant. The nearby space station beamed us straight to their sickbay and severed our link to the Borg collective. The four other Borg drones died instantly, I was the unlucky one. I was the person who survived. Two weeks later they found out who I was. Those 18 years I spent with the collective were hidden. They gave me a past and taught me how to use my telepathic skills to hide who I really was. You didn't even come to get me from the space station; I had to make my own way back to earth. When I finally reached earth I joined starfleet. It was the only place where I could get away from you and back to the collective. Now I don't think like that. I joined starfleet so I would feel more like a human, so I would have a place I could fit in.
I've kept my secret hidden for nine years now. The time has come to tell Captain Janeway the truth. I owe her dad; she gave me a new lease on life. I really don't know how to tell her my secret; I just know that the time has come to tell the truth. I've hidden the truth for far to long
I'm married now. I married the first officer two years ago. In all the time I have spent with my partner, I never told him who I really was. I never once mentioned that I was once part of the Borg collective. He doesn't trust the borg, so why would he trust a former borg drone getting harder to face each new day, knowing that my life is a lie and my past is catching up with me. Voyager has had a lot of dealings with the Borg. Each time Voyager faces the Borg in battle part of me wants to re-join the collective. The other part just feels guilt and shame for the billions of deaths that I am responsible for. I have to tell the captain the truth.
I have thought about leaving voyager and just leaving a short message for the captain telling her the truth and that is exactly what I am doing. As I am sending you this message the captain and my partner will also receive one. By the time they receive the message I will no longer be on board Voyager. I can't expect them to forgive me for my lies. I can't face my partner and see nothing but hatred in his eyes. Leaving is the better option for everyone. You most probably think I'm taking g the coward's way out, but it's the only way. Dad, I'm a telepath. I can remember the assimilation of millions of species, I know how each person felt when there life was snatched away by the Borg. When you know what its like to have the nightmares and memories that I have, then you can judge me.
Cuddles, I'm sorry that I have let you down so badly. I didn't want to leave, but it's the only way. If I knew for certain that you could accept the real me, I would stay. I know people will say I'm a coward, a bastard, a low down bum, hell they will curse me every name under the sun. By leaving you and Voyager like this I will be confirming what most people think about me. I just hope that you came forgive me, for what I have done.
Captain, thank you for giving me another chance. Without you I would never have experienced life amongst humans. Please would you look after cuddles? When the crew ask where I have gone, tell them the truth. Tell them what you want. Where I'm going it won't matter what people think of me.
