Kes saving Seven of Nine /Borg Queen lie.

[TJames03]

The Borg Queen told Seven of Nine she allowed her to stay in on Voyager as something of an observer. If that is true, then why did Kes have to save Seven of Nine when she was dying because one of her Borg implants was killing her in “The Gift”?

Are you assuming the Borg Queen was being truthful with Seven?

I don’t, but most viewers wouldn’t recall Kes saving Seven of Nine’s life. If I were a writer, I’d have her say, “Then why did an Ocampan female have to save my life?” Sadly, Berman and Braga would NEVER go there. Never.

I don't think the writers felt it was something worth digging into, any more than they felt it was worth digging into the Queen's off-hand comment to Kim that she'd see him again soon.

The Queen was definitely manipulating Seven. However, I do believe after Seven survived she did allow her to remain on Voyager, being ever the opportunist, to gather information on humanity. It also explains how Voyager was able to survive so many Borg encounters relatively unscathed. During the alt timeline in the Destiny books Voyager got the treatment she should have always gotten from the Borg.
