Title:  Inner Resistance  Contact: Suzanne Terri  Series: Voyager  Rating: PG  Code: All Crew  Part: 2/11  Date: June 9, 2000  Original Posting; June 9, 2000        FADE OUT:  END OF TEASER    ACT ONE  FADE IN:  (Note: Episode credits fall over opening scenes.)  11    INT. BREIFING ROOM          11  CHAKOTAY, PARIS, KIM, SEVEN OF NINE, DOCTOR and NEELIX sit around the table.  Serious war room  atmosphere...  DOCTOR  We were successful in removing all of the  Borg technology from Captain Janeway,  Commander Tuvok and Lt. Torres.    CHAKOTAY  How are they, Doctor?  DOCTOR  Commander Tuvok and Lt. Torres sustained  no other injuries and should be ready to return  to duty in a few days.  An awkward beat.  His next statement is not going to be greeted with enthusiasm.  DOCTOR  (continuing)  I have recommended that all three of them undergo  counseling for post-assimilation trauma.  Counselor Troi, from the Enterprise, has  graciously given us her research data from her  experience with Captain Picard.  PARIS  B'Elanna, undergo counseling?  I don't think  she'll agree to that Doc.  DOCTOR  I'm afraid she doesn't have any choice Lieutenant.  Perhaps you could help her understand its importance...  because if she doesn't agree to it, I will not authorize  her to return to duty.  Off his look...  Paris is not happy.  An awkward beat.  Chakotay looks at him,  sympathetically, but says nothing.  KIM  What about the Captain?  SEVEN OF NINE  Although we were successful in converting the  Captain's bio-functions, she remains in a coma.  All attempts to revive her have proved... unsuccessful.  CHAKOTAY  Doctor, do you have any clue as to why she  can't be revived?  DOCTOR  None. (beat)  There is no medical reason.  She should  be just fine, but she's not.  Paris and Kim exchange worried looks.  CHAKOTAY  There has to be a reason and we need to find  it...soon.  Chakotay looks around at everyone in the room.  CHAKOTAY  In about seven days we will be contacted by  the Borg Resistance, (beat) I intend to continue  doing everything in our power to help them  in their fight against the Collective.  That means  that we have to get every system on this ship  repaired and running at peak efficiency by then.  KIM  (picking up the momentum)  We're almost done with the repairs in engineering.  By tomorrow we should be ready to re-install  enhanced Borg shielding.  CHAKOTAY  Seven, I want you in engineering, with Ens. Kim,  to facilitate the installation.  It will be a couple of  days before B'Elanna will be back on duty and in  the mean time we need all the help we can get.  SEVEN OF NINE  Understood...  NEELIX  Commander, what should we tell the crew about  Captain Janeway?  They're very concerned.  CHAKOTAY  Well, Neelix, as morale officer, I am putting you  in charge of making sure the crew knows that  the Captain is going to be 'just fine'...    Chakotay looks around to everyone again. He is deadly serious.  He knows the importance of the crew  believing that Janeway will recover fully.  It is also of personal importance to him that she recovers.  CHAKOTAY  (continuing)  ...because she is. (beat)  All right everyone,  if that's all, you're dismissed.    CUT TO:    12 EXT. BORG SPHERE (OPTICAL)          12  Flying through space. The cube has escaped.    13 INT.  BORG QUEEN'S CHAMBER (OPTICAL)          13  BORG QUEEN is standing by a computer CONSOLE.  A drone approaches her to report activating a  SCHEMATIC of a human female- JANEWAY-    14 BORG COMPUTER CONSOLE (OPTICAL)  14  A TINY YELLOW LIGHT is flashing in the brain area of the JANEWAY schematic.    15 RESUME SCENE          15  The Queen looks up from the console with an evil looking smile.  BORG QUEEN  The nano-neural transceiver has been activated?  DRONE  (collective voice) Yes.  BORG QUEEN  Excellent.  The cloak is functioning optimally.  It's time we woke our new ally.    CUT TO:    16 INT. SICKBAY                    16  No one is around but CHAKOTAY and an unconscious JANEWAY.  We see Chakotay's (P.O.V.) She is still  lying on the surgical bed. The Borg technology is gone and she looks very much human now.  He touches  her hand and looks concerned.  CHAKOTAY  Kathryn, can you hear me?  We need you to  wake up.  (beat) The Doctor says there's nothing  wrong with you and if you really wanted to  you could wake up.  (he lightly touches her face.)  You did it Kathryn, you helped create the Resistance  and now we're going to help them defeat the Borg...  just like you wanted to.  You should be a part of  this; (beat) you NEED to be a part of this.  (beat)  I miss you Kathryn, (beat)  please wake up.  JANEWAY  (eyes still closed.)  Then I guess I don't have a choice do I?  Janeway's eyes flutter open and she smiles ever so slightly.  Her voice is not strong; even though she is  awake she is far from recovered.  CHAKOTAY  Kathryn!    Chakotay looks toward the Doctor's office.    CHAKOTAY  (continuing)  Doctor!    Chakotay looks down at Janeway again and smiles big.  He is very relieved.      CHAKOTAY  (continuing)  You can hear me?  How do you feel?  JANEWAY  One question at a time, Commander...  We see the Doctor walking toward the bio-bed, TRICORDER in hand.  He is pleased that his patient is finally  awake.  After SCANNING her he administers a HYPO-SPRAY, while talking.  DOCTOR  Vital signs are normal.  Neural readings are  also registering as normal.  How do you feel,  Captain?  JANEWAY  I've been better.  But it beats being a Borg  drone.  Chakotay smiles again at her.  CHAKOTAY  What do you remember?  JANEWAY  Giving explicit instructions that if anything went  wrong, you were not to attempt a rescue.  CHAKOTAY  Well, Captain, technically we didn't.  The Resistance  rescued you, (beat) but I never would have followed  that order anyway.  JANEWAY  I'll keep that in mind for the future, Commander.  In the mean time...  (gives him a meaningful look)  thank you.  CHAKOTAY:  You're welcome. (beat)  It's good to have you back.      DOCTOR  Captain, I'd like to keep you in sickbay for another  twenty-four hours, just to make sure everything  remains normal.  After that, you may be returned  to duty. (beat)  (he approaches this carefully)  I have recommended that Cmdr. Tuvok and Lt. Torres,  undergo counseling to help them cope with the  aftereffects of your little "away mission", I am  recommending the same for you.  Janeway looks as though she might argue, but then she relents.  JANEWAY  You'll get no argument from me, Doctor.  DOCTOR  Good.  I assure you, I did not receive the same  response from Lt. Torres.  JANEWAY  (to Doctor)  How are the others doing?  CHAKOTAY  They've been released from sickbay and are  already working limited duty shifts.  JANEWAY  I learned a lot about B'Elanna in the Collective.  I can well believe that she resisted the idea of  exposing her life to a counselor.  CHAKOTAY  Tom and I are both "encouraging" her to keep  her appointments.  JANEWAY  (she smiles knowingly)  Yes, I'll just bet you are.  (beat)  But then again,  perhaps this will be the incentive she needs to  (beat) tie up some loose ends in her life.  Janeway sighs and closes her eyes.  She is tired and wants to rest.  DOCTOR  Commander, perhaps you can finish your  discussion another time.  It's important that the  Captain rest for now.  CHAKOTAY  (to Doctor)  Of course...  (looking back at Janeway.)  I'll see you later, Captain.  Try to get some rest.  Doctor and Chakotay off.  Camera pushes in on Janeway.  Her eyes are closed now, but her expression is  troubled.   TBC
