====Joining the crew in "Scorpion"====
Seven of Nine first appears in the second part of "[[Scorpion (Star Trek: Voyager)|Scorpion]]" at the start of the fourth season. She is chosen by the Borg to communicate verbally with Captain Janeway so that together they can develop a weapon to defeat [[Species 8472]]. After a Borg cube destroys itself to save ''Voyager'', Seven is transported aboard the Federation ship. Janeway is injured, leaving Chakotay in command—but he distrusts Seven and the Borg and after he refuses to work with her, she sends the vessel into fluidic space to force them to develop the weapon. Just before doing so, Chakotay decompresses the cargo bay, killing the remaining Borg with the exception of Seven. Janeway recovers and works with Seven and the Doctor to develop the weapon and defeat an attack by Species 8472. With their alliance ended, Seven attempts to assimilate the crew but they override her neural connection to the Collective.<ref name=scorpion2>{{Cite episode |title=Scorpion|episode-link=Scorpion (Star Trek: Voyager) |series=Star Trek: Voyager |series-link=Star Trek: Voyager |credits=Braga, Brannon; Menowsky, Joe|network=UPN |date=September 3, 1997 |season=4 |number=1 }}</ref> Over the course of the following episode, "The Gift", [[Doctor (Star Trek: Voyager)|The Doctor]] removes about 70% of Seven's Borg implants because her body begins to reject the technology once her connection to the Borg Collective is severed. Seven leaves [[sick bay]] to help repair the ship, and while working she attempts to communicate with the Collective but is stopped by Kes. She is placed in the [[Military prison#Brig|brig]] where she and Captain Janeway have a heart-to-heart discussion. Following the departure of Kes, Seven (now restored by The Doctor to her original human appearance) is recruited to join ''Voyager'''s crew.<ref name="thegift"/>

Seven immediately comes into conflict with Chief Engineer [[B'Elanna Torres]] in "Day of Honor" and puts ''Voyager'' in danger when the Caatati steal the warp drive and hold it hostage for supplies and Seven herself. Instead, she builds a thorium generator to power their vessel, which the Caatati accept in exchange for the core and for allowing the rescue of Torres and Lt. [[Tom Paris]].<ref name=honor>{{Cite episode |title=Day of Honor|episode-link=Day of Honor |series=Star Trek: Voyager |series-link=Star Trek: Voyager |credits=Taylor, Jeri|network=UPN |date=September 17, 1997 |season=4 |number=3 }}</ref> In "The Raven", Seven, experiencing visions of the Borg and a [[raven]], steals a shuttle and heads into nearby B'omar space. The aliens would not allow ''Voyager'' to enter their space, but Tuvok and Paris cross the border in another shuttle and head in pursuit. Tuvok beams across to Seven's shuttle, where she explains she's following a homing beacon. They head to a planet where the wreckage of the USS ''Raven'' is crashed on the surface. They transport down and Seven recognises it as her parents' vessel. The B'omar attack but ''Voyager'' comes to their aid and the crew depart. Janeway tells Seven that her parents' research records are in the ship's databanks; Seven replies that she might read them someday.<ref name=theraven/>

After some time, Seven begins to question why Captain Janeway continues to make contact with alien species as they travel back to Earth, as it often results in incidents. Janeway explains that ''Voyager'''s purpose is exploration and will continue that mission despite any problems that might occur.<ref name=randomthoughts>{{Cite episode |title=Random Thoughts|episode-link=Random Thoughts (Star Trek: Voyager) |series=Star Trek: Voyager |series-link=Star Trek: Voyager |credits=Biller, Kenneth|network=UPN |date=November 19, 1997 |season=4 |number=10 }}</ref> While working in astrometrics, Seven detects an ancient alien communications platform which connects all the way back to the borders of Federation space. This results in the first successful communication with Starfleet since ''Voyager'' was stranded in the Delta Quadrant, although it does also result in angering an alien race upon first contact; the [[Hirogen]] had claimed the platform for their own.<ref name=message>{{Cite episode |title=Message in a Bottle|episode-link=Message in a Bottle (Star Trek: Voyager) |series=Star Trek: Voyager |series-link=Star Trek: Voyager |credits=Klink, Lisa; Williams, Rick|network=UPN |date=January 21, 1998 |season=4 |number=14 }}</ref> The crew subsequently receive messages from home through the array, but the ship is once again threatened by the Hirogen. Tuvok and Seven transport aboard the array to speed the downloading of the messages, but are captured and tortured by the aliens. They are rescued by ''Voyager'', but the communications array is destroyed.<ref name=hunters>{{Cite episode |title=Hunters|episode-link=Hunters (Star Trek: Voyager) |series=Star Trek: Voyager |series-link=Star Trek: Voyager |credits=Taylor, Jeri|network=UPN |date=February 11, 1998 |season=4 |number=15 }}</ref> When the crew find a member of Species 8472 being hunted by the Hirogen, Seven is reluctant to help her former enemy as it would put the ship at risk of destruction from the Hirogen. When the Hirogen threaten ''Voyager'', Seven disobeys Janeway's command and transports the alien aboard a Hirogen ship. In response, the Captain punishes her by restricting her computer access and confines her to the cargo bay where her Borg regeneration unit is set up.<ref name=prey>{{Cite episode |title=Prey|episode-link=Prey (Star Trek: Voyager) |series=Star Trek: Voyager |series-link=Star Trek: Voyager |credits=Braga, Brannon|network=UPN |date=February 18, 1998 |season=4 |number=16 }}</ref>

In "[[Retrospect (Star Trek: Voyager)|Retrospect]]", the Doctor accidentally causes Seven to relive repressed memories of while she was Borg. She confers these memories onto an alien she had just met, and the local authorities seek his arrest. The crew realise what has happened, but he is killed before he can be told he is innocent.<ref name=Retrospect>{{Cite episode |title=Retrospect|episode-link=Retrospect (Star Trek: Voyager) |series=Star Trek: Voyager |series-link=Star Trek: Voyager |credits=Fuller, Brian; Klink, Lisa; Shepard Price, Andrew; Gaberman, Mark|network=UPN |date=February 25, 1998 |season=4 |number=17 }}</ref> During the events of "The Killing Game" where the Hirogen take over ''Voyager'' and place the crew in the holodeck for hunting practice, Seven is brainwashed into thinking she was a French club singer during the [[Nazi occupation of France]]. She is the first member of the crew who has her memories restored by the Doctor, and helps Janeway bring about a truce with the Hirogen.<ref name=killing>{{Cite episode |title=The Killing Game|episode-link=The Killing Game (Star Trek: Voyager) |series=Star Trek: Voyager |series-link=Star Trek: Voyager |credits=Braga, Branon; Menosky, Joe|network=UPN |date=March 4, 1998 |season=4 |number=18 and 19 }}</ref> Janeway and Seven disagree once more in "[[The Omega Directive]]" about what to do when the ship detects unstable Omega particles nearby. The Captain wants to destroy them under Starfleet standing orders, while Seven seeks to harness them as the Borg consider the particles to be near perfection.<ref>{{Cite episode |title=The Omega Directive|episode-link=The Omega Directive |series=Star Trek: Voyager |series-link=Star Trek: Voyager |credits=Klink, Lisa; Diggs, Jimmy; Kay, Steve J.|network=UPN |date=April 15, 1998 |season=4 |number=21 }}</ref> Seven must later deal with a series of hallucinations and loneliness while helping the crew cross a radiation-filled nebula in "[[One (Star Trek: Voyager)|One]]". This experience results in her seeking out the company of other crew members more frequently.<ref>{{Cite episode |title=One|episode-link=One (Star Trek: Voyager) |series=Star Trek: Voyager |series-link=Star Trek: Voyager |credits=Taylor, Jeri|network=UPN |date=May 13, 1998 |season=4 |number=25 }}</ref> Her suspicions of Arturis prove correct in "[[Hope and Fear]]" when it is revealed that he was seeking revenge on the ''Voyager'' crew for their previous alliance with the Borg by creating a fake USS ''Dauntless'' and attempting to take them back to Borg space where they would be assimilated.<ref>{{Cite episode |title=Hope and Fear|episode-link=Hope and Fear |series=Star Trek: Voyager |series-link=Star Trek: Voyager |credits=Berman, Rick; Braga, Brannon; Menosky, Joe|network=UPN |date=May 20, 1998 |season=4 |number=26 }}</ref>

====Relationships====
A few episodes touch on Seven's romantic life, which is limited due to the effect on her emotions of having been part of the Borg. At one point she propositions [[Harry Kim (Star Trek)|Harry Kim]], but he turns her down. Later on, with the Doctor's assistance, she tries dating other crew unsuccessfully, while later exploring intimate relationships with a hologram of [[Chakotay]]. Finally, in "Endgame" she is involved in a romantic relationship with Chakotay which includes at least three dates and a first [[kiss]]. In one alternate timeline, they married before her death, and, in another, she is killed along with the rest of the Voyager crew ("[[Timeless (Star Trek: Voyager)|Timeless]]").

Seven has her first experience of motherhood to some degree when, in the episode "[[Drone (Star Trek: Voyager)|Drone]]", a transporter accident combines her nanoprobes with the Doctor's holoemitter. This results in the creation of One, a Borg with 29th-century technology, whom Seven helps adjust to life on board ''Voyager''. One sacrifices his life to destroy a Borg sphere and protect the vessel, dying in front of an emotional Seven.<ref>{{Cite episode |title=Drone|episode-link=Drone (Star Trek: Voyager) |series=Star Trek: Voyager |series-link=Star Trek: Voyager |credits=Fuller, Bryan; Braga, Brannon; Menosky, Joe; Kloor, Harry|network=UPN |date=October 21, 1998 |season=5 |number=2 }}</ref> In the alternative future shown in "[[Timeless (Star Trek: Voyager)|Timeless]]", Seven of Nine and the vast majority of the ''Voyager'' crew are dead. Using a Borg temporal transmitter, Chakotay and Harry Kim manage to send information back in time to Seven to prevent the destruction of the ship.<ref>{{Cite episode |title=Timeless|episode-link=Timeless (Star Trek: Voyager) |series=Star Trek: Voyager |series-link=Star Trek: Voyager |credits=Berman, Rick; Braga, Brannon; Menosky, Joe|network=UPN |date=November 18, 1998 |season=5 |number=6 }}</ref> A little more of Seven's Borg history is revealed when, due to a modified Borg device planted by an alien species, she begins to exhibit the memories of some of the people she has assimilated. After B'Elanna Torres disables the device, Seven returns to normal.<ref name="InfiniteRegress"/>

While investigating a damaged Borg sphere in "[[Dark Frontier]]", Seven hears the voice of the collective once more and refuses to return to ''Voyager''. Instead, she is taken back to Borg space where she meets with the Borg Queen, who reveals that Seven's establishment as an individual was all part of a plan to use her memories to allow the Borg to assimilate humanity. The Queen first has Seven assist in the assimilation of a new species, and after some disobedience, has her work on nanoprobes designed to assimilate humans. Seven discovers that her father is assimilated and kept as one of the Queen's personal drones. Meanwhile, ''Voyager'' is working on a plan to rescue her, and using the ''Delta Flyer'', approach the vessel close enough that Captain Janeway can transport aboard. Seven and Janeway work together to escape the Queen, and steal technology that reduces their distance to Earth by 15 years.<ref>{{Cite episode |title=Dark Frontier|episode-link=Dark Frontier |series=Star Trek: Voyager |series-link=Star Trek: Voyager |credits=Braga, Brannon; Menosky, Joe|network=UPN |date=February 17, 1999 |season=5 |number=15 and 16 }}</ref> She later attempts to develop her experience of romance, working with the Doctor in the episode "[[Someone to Watch Over Me (Star Trek: Voyager)|Someone to Watch Over Me]]".<ref>{{Cite episode |title=Someone to Watch Over Me|episode-link=Someone to Watch Over Me (Star Trek: Voyager) |series=Star Trek: Voyager |series-link=Star Trek: Voyager |credits=Braga, Brannon; Taylor, Michael|network=UPN |date=April 28, 1999 |season=5 |number=22 }}</ref>

She becomes involved in a time-travel plot once more when Captain Braxton of the Federation timeship USS "[[Relativity (Star Trek: Voyager)|Relativity]]" pulls her out of the timestream to help prevent the destruction of ''Voyager''. The travel has effects on her body, and she dies, resulting in an earlier version being pulled out of time. During the investigation, it transpires that it was Braxton himself who planted a bomb on the ship and together with the crew of the ''Relativity'', Captain Janeway manages to apprehend Braxton before he plants the device.<ref>{{Cite episode |title=Relativity |episode-link=Relativity (Star Trek: Voyager) |series=Star Trek: Voyager |series-link=Star Trek: Voyager |credits=Fuller, Bryan; Sagan, Nick; Taylor, Michael |network=UPN |date=May 12, 1999 |season=5 |number=24 }}</ref> Seven encounters three former Borg with which she previously formed a mini-collective after their scout vessel crashed on a planet; where the other three were assimilated as adults, Seven's childhood assimilation left her panicking at being separated from the Collective and facing an individuality she did not know how to cope with on her own. She forced this collective on them because they were becoming individuals, which has caused the trio to keep a mental connection even after their eventual disconnection from the rest of the Borg. During the course of "[[Survival Instinct (Star Trek: Voyager)|Survival Instinct]]", the link is terminated, causing each of the former Borg to be predicted to die within a month.<ref>{{Cite episode |title=Survival Instinct|episode-link=Survival Instinct (Star Trek: Voyager) |series=Star Trek: Voyager |series-link=Star Trek: Voyager |credits=Moore, Ronald.
