Steven's Arm: A Question

[Athena28]

Title should be Seven's Arm not Steven's...

What exactly is Seven's arm?

• Was it totally removed by the Borg and replaced by a prosthetic with the Borg mesh on the hand?
• Was it her original arm with an implant or implants placed (including the Borg mesh) in and on it?
• Was it her original arm up until about the elbow (with one small implant) and then a prosthetic with the Borg mesh over her hand?

Or have I missed it entirely?

It looked cool and I'm not sure any more thought than that went into it.

Just for fun (and in my head as I watch the series)- it' s her human arm (with Borg components running through it) from the elbow to shoulder. Everything below that is Borg and prosthesis.

As a drone she had both of her human hands. So on Voyager she also has both of her original human hands

Fiddlesticks... there goes my "fun". Kidding...

I think it's her original human arm, with Borg hardware running through the musculature, and those weird components visible on her fingers. If it was prosthetic, then it would look entirely mechanical instead of having human skin.

I think if she had a mechanical arm they could still have some human looking synthetic skin over it. This would of course make it easier for the actor and would be cheaper than an "artificial" arm.

In one of the novels Tom looses some teeth in a fight and the Doctor is able to regrow them from his cells. I guess in canon this is not a technology that Trek has.

It would be interesting if she had a spindly, purely artificial hand when she was in the collective, and the Doctor decided to add biomatter to the outside to make it look less mechanical.

I think the only prosthetic the Dr. gave her was a replacement for her left eye.

I believe the novel you are thinking of is The Nanotech Wars.

Yes and yes!

I think I always felt it was part mechanical as by the 24th century all prosthetics would look like natural skin (kind of like Jaime Sommer's arm).

DATA: It would appear you are attempting to graft organic skin onto my endoskeletal structure.

he said that to the Borg Queen who may have had some technology that the Federation didn't.
