ON:

I'm not quite sure where to begin. Or whether I should be angry at myself, my training or just the Borg, but something has rallied inside of me that I can't seem to control; a pent-up frustration that no matter how much I try to compartmentalise, I just can't seem to manage. I suppose the difference is that you're trained to deal with past issues once they are dead and buried. And unless it's concerning Re-association, then it's very unlikely that you'll experience the same situation twice. In fact, that's what the Symbiosis Commission intends.

But this. I don't know. This isn't some past friendship or rivalry that has reared its ugly head. It's life-threatening. The panic and fear and loathing and helplessness seems to run like a ribbon through Stace - and rightly so! - when it comes to the Borg. They have taken so much from us. Raped so much. And we're just meant to sit idly by as a technologically superior race uses them as chess pieces for their own gains.

Germaphobes or not, what they are doing isn't right. And my constant pleas and anger seem to be falling on deaf ears. What else am I meant to do? Take a stand myself? I know that the captain has to do her duty and report back fully. But I don't agree with this power. And I don't think I can hold my tongue on it.
