Both Enterprise and Voyager arrived aboard the Borg cube and began exploring while EE was inspecting her ship and getting the nanites ready to repair it. Voyager and Enterprise were walking while holding hands, with Voyager holding a tricorder and actively scanning and Enterprise curiously looking around. Enterprise was a little creeped out about the Borg "corpses" and the cube itself.

Enterprise: Why is everything so dark and green?? It's completely different from your ship.

Voyager: Our researchers were still figuring that out. They believe that those conditions help the Borg perform efficiently since that is what they were meant to do. And its not like we can just walk up to a drone or a queen to ask "why are your ships green?".

Enterprise: Hahaha. Who knows maybe we can try asking them politely?

Voyager: Yeah right try asking them politely and the next second a bunch of Borg nano drones will be in your bloodstream turning you into one of them.   

As they were joking and making fun the tricorder made a different sound indicating it found something. Voyager looked at the data and had a confused look on her face.

Enterprise: What happened?

Voyager: I found a human, still alive somewhere nearby.

Enterprise: You sure its a human and not one of those drones?

Voyager: No this signature is definitely human and it appears to be in some sort of self sustaining stasis chamber.

Enterprise: Okay now you lost me. What is a self sustaining whatever chamber?

Voyager: Stasis chamber. It is used to "freeze" a person alive. It can be in times of emergencies or during medical procedures. Theoretically a stasis chamber can keep the person alive forever until it runs out of energy.

Enterprise: Wow. The future is very futury.

Voyager: Hahaha. Love the phrase. Now lets go see who is the lucky person.

Both of them followed the tricorder readings with their own excitement. Voyager was exited to meet a human from her universe and Enterprise was exited to meet a human for the first time after a long time. They entered a chamber and found many stasis pods filling the room. Majority were empty and the few that had occupants looked like they had passed away due to damages. They arrived at the only functioning pod and Voyager was shocked to find the person who was in it.

Voyager: Voyager to Enterprise .

EE: Enterprise  here go ahead.

Voyager: You better get over here quickly. You have to see this.

EE: On my way. Give me few minutes. Enterprise out.

Enterprise: What happened? Do you know this human?

Voyager: Oh yes. I am sure almost everyone from Starfleet will recognize him.

Enterprise wanted to ask more when EE walked in, looked around the room and approached them.

EE: What happened to call me urgently? And what is up with this room?

Voyager: It's like a stasis room but check this out. I found a living human and someone we know.

EE: Someone we kno.....'Gasp!' he survived?

EE was in tears looking at the person and Voyager started patting her to calm her down.

Voyager: Looks like the exploration trip will be postponed. We need to check him and get him out of the chamber. Let us take him to my sickbay, the doctor can help him.

They carried the stasis pod with the help of a anti-grav field and boarded the shuttle. Voyager began departure procedure while EE was still sobbing and sitting next to the pod. Enterprise took the seat next to Voyager and asked her the question that had been bugging her.

Enterprise: So who is that? And why is EE crying so much?

Voyager: Well his name is  Jean-Luc Picard , Captain of Enterprise E. EE though only a ship soul in my universe, she was quite attached to her first and only captain. She must been sad when she was captured by the Borg and the crew assimilated and now dead.

Enterprise was shocked but glad that the captain was alive. They arrived aboard Voyager and again the trio carried the pod to the sickbay where the Doctor who was informed ahead was waiting for them.

Doctor: Well well. Looks like you have been making more friends Voyager.

Voyager: Doctor this is Enterprise E and the one in the pod is her captain.

Doctor: Ah yes. The famous Jean-Luc Picard. Now lets see how we can get him out of that Borg pod.

Enterprise: How did you know it was Borg?

EE, Voyager and the Doctor looked deadpan at her and responded at the same time:

"BEACUSE IT'S GREEN"

Enterprise: 'sigh' I deserved that.

Voyager felt bad for her and went on to hug Enterprise and patting her head. EE was looking at them with a disgusted face. The doctor was also curious about this reaction but went ahead on examining the pod.

Doctor: Hmmm. Seems like a stasis pod similar to ours but with few additions.

Voyager: What additions?

Doctor: Seems like after scanning the organism and deemed completely healthy, the pod would automatically inject Borg nanites to begin assimilation. But the good captain has an injury on his leg preventing the pod from proceeding. Guess he was lucky.

Voyager: Indeed. Can we take him out of the pod?

Doctor: Of course. Let me check his vitals and then we can take him out.

The Doctor used a medical tricorder and did a thorough examination of the captain before proceeding to unlock the chamber. He then moved the captain on to a bed and started a full body scan. The doctor also fixed up any and all injuries.

Doctor: Well he is as good as new. Only thing left is to wake him up?

Voyager: EE you ready?

EE: Yep.

Voyager: Doc wake him up.

The doctor used a hypo spray and injected the medicine into the captain. After a few seconds, the captain began to stir and woke up. He looked around and found the EMH and few girls staring at him in an unknown sickbay.

Picard: Uggh! Where am I?

Voyager: Good Morning Captain Picard. Welcome aboard the  USS Voyager.
