-Seven of Nine becomes captain of an intrepid class ship. Maybe call it Voyager-B. There is still exploring to do out there. It's primarily a science vessel. I have more thoughts about why this would be a good character choice but I will save that for another time.

-She calls B'elanna Torres and says, Commander, I need a Chief Engineer and these people will not suffice. They are not...as efficient as you. And I need someone to help me modify this ship the way we did Voyager. This Starfleet tech is hopeless without us. And it would be imprudent to trust a senior staff of only die-hard Federation bootlickers. Join me.

-B'elanna says, are you insane. And then B'elanna says I will be there in 2 days don't fuck up my engines before I get there.

-First Officer Raffi Musiker quickly becomes accustomed to the fact that most staff meetings and communications with engineering involve a lot of yelling from B'elanna and a lot of snark from Seven. Since the ship runs like a dream she concludes that this is simply how they work and decides as first officer to classify this Not My Circus, Not My Monkeys. She does get used to getting an earful from B'elanna about catching Seven fucking with something in the Jeffries Tubes at 2 in the morning without consulting her, and she is impressed Seven manages to find time to step on B'elanna's toes what with all her captainly duties, but she is beginning to think this is what constitutes fun for these two and decides not to probe further.

-The first command Seven gives, which becomes her trademark phrase, is "Proceed." It's the most efficient word. Some habits die hard.

-There is an exchange like this:

"The Enterprise is hailing us, Captain."

"Onscreen."

Captain Seven inclines her head, raises her ocular implant, and smiles.

"Naomi Wildman, Captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise-G."
