Editing Seven of Nine (section)

===''Star Trek: Picard''===
Seven of Nine appeared as a recurring character in the first season of ''[[Star Trek: Picard]]'', and as a main cast member in the second season. In ''Picard'', set more than twenty years after the finale of ''Voyager'', Seven is a member of the Fenris Rangers, a peacekeeping organization active near the former [[Romulan]] Neutral Zone.<ref name="picardtrailer">{{Citation|last=CBS All Access|title=Star Trek: Picard {{!}} SDCC Trailer - Sir Patrick Stewart Returns|date=2019-07-20|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbXy0f0aCN0|access-date=2019-07-20}}</ref> Ryan notes her portrayal is "much more human" and developed a new speaking cadence to reflect the character's two decades living in Federation space.<ref>[https://io9.gizmodo.com/star-treks-jeri-ryan-had-a-hard-time-finding-sevens-voi-1836998993 Star Trek's Jeri Ryan Had a Hard Time Finding Seven's Voice for Picard].

In 2386, nine years after the USS ''Voyager'' returned to Earth, Seven's surrogate son Icheb was abducted by Borg harvesters. Seven attempted to rescue him but arrived too late, finding him mortally wounded. Icheb died in Seven's arms after she acceded to his request to mercy kill him.

In 2399, Seven encounters [[Jean-Luc Picard]] and the crew of ''La Sirena'' en route to the planet Freecloud. Seven assists Picard in his attempt to rescue Dr. Bruce Maddox from Bjayzl, a criminal businesswoman, by offering herself as bounty. It is revealed that Seven's true intentions are to kill Bjayzl, who was responsible for Icheb's death. Picard believes he is able to talk Seven out of killing Bjayzl, and they return to ''La Sirena'' with Maddox. She and Picard discuss their mutual difficulty regaining their humanity after being assimilated by the Borg, and she disembarks under the pretense of rejoining the Rangers, but actually transports back to the surface and vaporizes Bjayzl.

Seven arrives at the Artifact, a disabled Borg cube captured by the [[Romulans]], after being summoned by Picard's companion Elnor. To save the former Borg onboard from execution at the hands of the Romulans, she temporarily connects herself to the cube inside the queencell, taking on the role of a [[Borg Queen]]. She does this despite concern about keeping control:

:"'''Seven of Nine''': Assimilate them? Invade their minds? Suppress their identities, enslave them? Again?  
:"'''Elnor''': You can release them when we win.
:"'''Seven of Nine''': They won't want to be released. And I... I might not want to release them."<ref>{{cite episode |title=[[Star Trek: Picard season 1#ep8|Broken Pieces]] |series=[[Star Trek: Picard]] |publisher=[[CBS Television Studios]], [[Secret Hideout]] etal |network=[[CBS All Access]] |season=1 |number=8 |date=2020-03-12}}</ref> 
	 
Despite her concerns, Seven is able to disconnect herself after the Romulan forces have been driven off the cube, stating that "Annika" still has work to do. She brings the cube to Soji's homeworld, Coppelius, to aid Picard, but it crashes on the surface after being disabled by the planetary defenses. When the Romulan armada arrives at the planet to destroy the synthetics, the Romulan agent Narissa attempts to access the cube's weapons to destroy ''La Sirena'', but is pushed off a ledge by Seven. After the Romulan armada is warded off, Seven joins the crew of ''La Sirena'' and is seen holding hands with Picard's companion Raffi.

Seven returns in the second season,<ref>{{Cite web |last=Outlaw |first=Kofi |date=2020-04-02 |title=Star Trek: Picard Showrunner Teases Seven of Nine's Role in Season 2 |url=https://comicbook.com/startrek/2020/04/01/star-trek-picard-season-2-seven-nine-story-raffi-relationship-preview-michael-chabon/ |access-date=2023-01-06 |website=ComicBook.com |language=en}}</ref>  where she is the captain of ''La Sirena'' after Rios had returned to Starfleet, and she is in a relationship with Raffi. When [[Q (Star Trek)|Q]] sends her and others back in a changed timeline, where she was never assimilated and is President Annika Hansen of the Earth-based ''Confederation of Earth'', she joins the ''La Sirena'' crew in a time travel journey back to 2024 to prevent Q from creating the alternate timeline and enjoys being Borg-free for the first time since she was six. Seven and Raffi try to find the mysterious Watcher and end up rescuing Rios from ICE officers after being involved in a car chase. She later helps protect and watch over Renée Picard, who is the focus of Q's machinations. She and Raffi then search for Jurati and find that she is slowly becoming a new Borg Queen. In a fight between Borg soldiers, former mercenaries, Adam Soong and the Jurati/Borg Queen entity, she is partially reassimilated to save her life, after Jurati is able to remind the Borg Queen of her affection for Seven. It is also revealed that after ''Voyager'' returned to Earth, Seven tried to formally join Starfleet, but was rejected because of her Borg implants. Admiral Janeway threatened to resign from Starfleet over the matter, but Seven dropped her request and joined the Fenris Rangers instead. In the season finale, when they are sent back to their own timeline, Picard gives Seven a field commission, and she takes command of the USS ''Stargazer''.

In the third season, Seven, with Picard and Janeway's encouragement, has remained a Starfleet officer with the rank of commander.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Elliott |first=Warren |date=2022-05-01 |title=Star Trek Picard Season 3 Will Include Seven of Nine, Confirms Jeri Ryan |url=https://screenrant.com/star-trek-picard-season-3-will-include-seven-nine-confirmed/ |access-date=2022-05-13 |website=ScreenRant |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Lovett |first=Jamie |date=2022-07-27 |title=Star Trek's Seven of Nine Finally Joins Starfleet In Picard Season 3, Rank Revealed |url=https://comicbook.com/startrek/news/star-treks-picard-season-3-seven-of-nine-starfleet-rank-commander/ |access-date=2023-01-06 |website=ComicBook.com |language=en}}</ref> She is assigned as first officer of the USS ''Titan''-A, the successor to the ship that [[William Riker]] commanded for many years. The transition has not been smooth, as her captain, Liam Shaw, does not trust her due to her Borg past and insists that she use her human name. In the final episode of ''Star Trek: Picard'', Tuvok promotes Seven of Nine to the rank of captain, revealing that Shaw had given her a glowing recommendation for command in spite of the friction between them. Seven is given command of the USS ''Enterprise'' (NCC-1701-G), with Commander Raffi Musiker as her first officer and Ensign Jack Crusher II as her counselor. She is last seen about to give her first command as captain of the ''Enterprise''.
