9 of 16

9 of 16 - 1st Adj. U.S.S. Arrogance

 * 9 of 16 born of the salvaged parts scavenged on mission by the U.S.S. Arrogance on Stardate 88187.24 (2411). In the later travels and offensives lead by the Arrogance-N crew, many drones were discovered among the wreckage of on of the cubes destroyed. Most being totally inoperable their parts were salvaged in an attempt to discover more about the technology and biotechnology the Borg used to assimilate species throughout the galaxy. 9 of 16 was discovered still functional though badly damaged. Zenon the science officer discovered that the link of 9 of 16 to the Borg Hive had been severed, as his weaponry and nanite abilities were no longer functional, he was retrieved and returned to the ship. Captain Errant took one look at the drone and new that he had once been a person, and deserved every chance to be free of the collective. The ships Doctor made every attempt to remove the implants, however realizing that it would be impossible to remove his implants as most that had been liberated.


 * Instead the Doctor took a new approach and from the salvaged parts discovered they were able to repair the damaged systems and implants. 9 of 16's link was not restored at that time, though future procedures allowed a partial reconnection that gave the Arrogance a new edge on tracking the Borg's movements. 9 of 16's knowledge of that movement combined with the technology created by 7 of 9 in the years of the Voyager, put the Drone in the perfect position to be the Astrometrics officer, though not holding an official rank on board the ship, he has become an active and vital part of the Arrogance crew. Ensuring the most efficient routes of travel including information lead outside the Quadrants. It is theorized by 9 of 16 that transwarp tunnels known only to the Borg are within reach, and travel to outside of the known galaxy could be only years away as technology in ship design and warp travel are realized.
