Stardate Unknown Neelix (Ethan Phillips), in charge of pacifying the Borg children when lights on the ship flicker and fail, lets his imagination run wild and turns reality into a fantastic but utterly believable story which mesmerizes the children into believing that a ghost actually dwells on Deck Twelve. As Neelix tells it, months ago an electromagnetic lifeform took possession of the ship, shutting down all life support systems, while trying to communicate with Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) its need to return to the nebula from which it came. Area by area was cordoned off by an invisible force field, and injected with poisonous gas, while the captain set up an emergency command post in Engineering. |

Stardate Unknown Unimatrix Zero is a place within the Borg Collective where a small percentage of drones go during their regeneration cycle. Within this virtual reality, they are able to act and think like individuals. However, once their regeneration cycle is complete the drones have no awareness of the dream-like Unimatrix Zero. After Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) is brought back to Unimatrix Zero by an old friend to help keep the Borg Queen (Susanna Thompson) from discovering this enclave, Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) sees the situation as a perfect opportunity to try and incite a Borg uprising from within the Collective. |
