Does Starfleet take advantage of Seven of Nine?

[Kilana2]

After Voyager's return to the Alpha Quadrant, Seven of Nine was either chief suspect in some goings-on inside the Federation, or she was called upon to help with the crisis management during the Borg invasion.

More often than not people seem to take advantage of her and her knowledge without giving someting back in return.

Even after the Borg are gone Starfleet seems to mistrust Seven.

Only by members of her Voyager friends and some exceptions from earth she is unconditionally embraced.

In the long run and after her aunt's death she is likely to be better off in the Delta Quadrant with the Full Circle fleet than on Earth. At least there she can trust her friends.

She did "attack" Admiral Jellico, just to prove a point, in "Mere Mortals"

Does Starfleet take advantage of Seven of Nine?

No. Starfleet's far too morally upright to ever do such a thing.

However, Quark did use her in a future edition of the Vulcan Love Slave holosuite program.

Jellico is someone who has to take a lot. Not only by Seven, but also by Calhoun.

In fairness, that wasn't really an attack.
She was making a point.
Jellico was also a type of person who really didn't want to listen to other options (and its possible he wasn't taking her seriously enough to even consider them).

Granted, even if he wasn't going to use that option, he should have at least taken the time to listen her proposals without dismissing them out of hand.

Mass evacuation of the Federation while it may have been impractical on a large scale, could have been conducted in a smaller fashion in that case and ferry people away to say Andromeda galaxy via Slipstream.


Starfleet started behaving very oddly in the books ever since the Dominion war ended.
They behave far more in line with humans of today than they do like an advanced culture.
Quick to make unfounded assumptions without merit, justifying some actions for the so-called 'greater good' even when the threat has passed.
Not asking, but instead just doing (and recklessly so).

I never liked this. It doesn't make sense.
This kind of behaviour would have been a thing of the past regardless of the war and most people would have grown up in an environment where this kind of behaviour is simply not encouraged.
And even in light of the war, people would be that much more vigilant to ensure past behaviours do NOT resurface. In short, they wouldn't want to do it. It would be a greater insult to them on a personal level if they did.

Only the Voyager crew, Full Circle fleet and other captains in SF (like Picard) seem to actually behave in the manner they are supposed to.
Everyone else just mucks it up for the sake of mucking it up - which realistically means they shouldn't even be in SF to begin with.

Oh, you don't want to go there. Core explosions are rendering it uninhabitable, which is why the Kelvans wanted to come and colonize our galaxy. Plus it's home to races like the Kelvans and Sylvia and Korob's people, so it doesn't seem like a very friendly place. Plus, there are far closer galaxies in the Local Group, like the Magellanic Clouds. Andromeda isn't the nearest galaxy, it's just the nearest spiral galaxy. There are numerous dwarf elliptical or irregular galaxies that are much closer.

Was slipstream actually in use during the Destiny novels? I need to go back and read those at some point, since it's been a while.

Yup. I'm pretty sure Aventine was always slip-stream capable since we were introduced to it, and its crew, in Destiny.

The Andromeda galaxy was a theoretical proposal... I did write 'say' before Andromeda to illustrate 'for example'.

In Trek, it was indeed described that Andromeda galaxy was being rendered uninhabitable... but it could have been used as a resting point to possibly collect resources and then move on (one might imagine that this plan could involve people putting as much distance as they can between themselves and the Borg if they receive no word from the Federation that is in any usable time frame).

Still, the Kelvans weren't necessarily the most reliable source of information, and given that SF has experience with massive stellar phenomena and fixing other people's mess (even from advanced civilizations), they might have found a way to stop and possibly reverse the process.
Actually, I could see this as a viable premise for exploration of the Andromeda and see whether SF can stop or possibly reverse the rendering of Andromeda to be uninhabitable.


Stephen!

Slipstream was indeed in use by the Aventine during the Destiny novels.

 

[Kilana2]

Rogue parts of SF certainly take advantage of Seven.

Yes, after the Borg incursion SF is overly cautious. And Seven is easily a suitable scapegoat.

I Section 31 is definitely aware of her.

That's exactly what I thought of when I saw the thread topic: a mass gang-bang of someone who, with Borg enhancements, could probably do (as Roddenberry once said of Questor), whatever she wants, whenever she wants, as often as she wants, for as long as she wants.

I'm also reminded of Denise Crosby's convention line about Data in The Naked Now: "He has three speeds."
