Notes:
19:22 PST (UTC-8)—Borg technologically have better and faster hand-eye coordination than the rest of us, and often excel at sports, assuming they show interest in the game. Two of Twelve was slightly more interested in playing hoverball than One of Twelve, but we managed to get both of them into a game with four players. We learned the hard way that they need to be on opposite teams to balance out the match. Together, there is far too much calculated precision for the opposing team to even present a challenge. The hard part with separating them is Two struggles when facing off against One, leaving One with a clear advantage.

Notes:
19:22 PST (UTC-8)—Cadet Pargman, a pupil with another two years left in the science program, was trying to be friendly, and invited One of Twelve to join her for a game of hoverball. One rejected the invitation, and explained to me that Cadet Pargman neglected to also invite Two. I understand One’s opinion on this, but she needs to learn to do things without always including Two. I intend to contact Cadet Pargman this weekend, explain the situation, and come up with a way to include both One and Two in a hoverball game with her. They need to make friends, and this should be a good start if it works out.

19:39 PST (UTC-8)—Note, Tuyo Allaron, Adm, Starfleet Intelligence
Mrs. Wegere, please keep us apprised of all students and other personnel who interact exceptionally well with One and Two of Twelve, such as this Cadet Pargman. Starfleet is working hard to rehabilitate and integrate thousands of other drones into our ranks, but One and Two of Twelve are the most awkward we have. We are already searching for personnel who work well with these two Liberated Borg.

22:01 PST (UTC-8)—Reply to Note, Petralla Wegere, PsyD, Starfleet Medical
Admiral Allaron, is this your way of saying Starfleet Intelligence has the futures of One and Two already planned out, that you intend to use them in your own plans rather than permit them to find their own pursuits? I will continue working with them because I care about their development, but I refuse to assist you and Starfleet Intelligence in the creation and support of a super weapon, or whatever you intend to do. I should not have to warn you what happened the last time someone tried that.

22:10 PST (UTC-8)—Reply to Note, Tuyo Allaron, Adm, Starfleet Intelligence
Mrs. Wegere, please report tomorrow morning to your commanding officer for censure. You will continue to work with One and Two of Twelve as ordered. All Starfleet Intelligence desires is more information on the Borg Collective’s Project [REDACTED].

Notes:
19:41 PST (UTC-8)—“I will adapt.” I believe that is One of Twelve’s way to say she will make do with the slower pace of learning. The first week of class is over. When asked if she made any new friends, she claimed to not understand the question. Upon further investigation, it seems she thinks of everyone as an acquaintance. I haven’t yet determined if there is anyone she met in whom she would put the same level of trust as we put in those we call friends. When mentioning trust, Two of Twelve thought I must be talking about the instructors. They do not yet understand the social differences between peers and authority figures.

Notes:
18:23 PST (UTC-8)—One of Twelve successfully navigated her first day of classes. She had very little to comment about, except to say the method used for teaching was an inefficient means to transfer knowledge. We know it is possible for her to assimilate knowledge much faster, as is done in the Borg Collective, but we also know it is dangerous for Liberated Borg who lack the protection of the hive mind that would give meaning to the rapidly assimilated knowledge. One of Twelve will need to adapt to the slower pace, because there is no doctor on Earth who would approve what she desires.

Name: One of Twelve
Age: 4
Species: Borg, Human
Height: 180 cm
Status: Awake
Initial condition: Good.

Notes:
09:22 UTC—Scans indicate no change in One of Twelve’s condition. She does not know it, but if she passes the final Academy placement tests today, which is expected, she is being transferred out of this facility. There will be no further logging of today’s activities.

17:35 UTC—Note, Petralla Wegere, PsyD, Starfleet Medical
The transition from this LBRC facility to Starfleet Academy will be difficult. I have no doubt One of Twelve will do everything she can to adapt to the other cadets and faculty, but it may not be enough. Starfleet Intelligence intends to continue their security escort for her, as much to protect her as it is to protect the other cadets from her. I just hope they never need to act. Most of her courses, at least initially, will be private, but there will be times when there is no choice but to combine her with the other cadets. At this point, One of Twelve is Starfleet Intelligence’s experiment, although I will continue to monitor and assist her psychological development. I am also taking over for Mrs. Luwaav with Two of Twelve so I am better able to compare both of these Liberated Borg and note their differences. Hopefully we detect and correct any potential psychological issues before they become problems.

Initial condition: Good.

Notes:
09:35 UTC—One of Twelve scolded me for varying the time of my arrival each morning. It may vary by minutes, but there are duties I perform that involve more than just One of Twelve. She will have to learn to live with that type of unpredictability. Today will involve a second round of testing for Academy placement. There will be no further logging of today’s activities.

17:01 UTC—Note, Petralla Wegere, PsyD, Starfleet Medical
Testing went as expected, fast-paced, and mostly correct answers. The few she missed have to do with social aspects of life, which she is very inexperienced with. In between tests, she is trying various foods and drinks, apparently going through the replicator menu systematically. I am uncertain if she had any reactions, but she did talk to Mr. Sodu at one point with a question about her genome that turned out to be a benign goose chase. Having problems in one gene does not mean she will have problems in all the rest. At one point, the Bolian administering the test asked One why she was so knowledgeable in such a wide range of topics. She quickly answered that diversity of species was the Federation’s strength, so her diversity in knowledge could be its undoing. She is sincere about joining Starfleet, but she still thinks and answers as if she was our enemy. It will take time to overcome this threatening posture.

16:52 UTC—Note, Petralla Wegere, PsyD, Starfleet Medical
Testing for Starfleet Academy is generally a solitary thing, but the policy in this case required me to sit in and observe. One of the questions mentioned stardates, which I believe is not the standard time-keeping rate for Borg, and One of Twelve was curious what the current stardate was. I told her it was stardate 82102.9, and she calculated that she emerged from her maturation chamber on stardate 78453.14. That should tell us approximately when she was born, and Starfleet Intelligence might be able to determine what other previous Borg engagements throughout the quadrant might be her doing.

17:28 UTC—Reply to Note, Tuyo Allaron, Adm, Starfleet Intelligence
Thank you for the information. Starfleet Intelligence believes she was only present at the two engagements we know about. It is possible the previous four years were spent in the background, providing potential insight into various engagements, but not being directly involved.

17:37 UTC—Reply to Note, Petralla Wegere, PsyD, Starfleet Medical
I wish to clarify. When I equate being born with her emergence from her maturation chamber, it does not mean she came out as an infant. She was born full-grown, already mature and taught many of the things the Borg Collective wanted her to know. An additional benefit is she has an adult brain, but it might be as malleable as a child’s. This would give her incredible learning potential, but only time will determine if I am right on this guess.

Notes:
08:37 UTC—One and Two of Twelve are ready to go with Mrs. Wegere, Mrs. Luwaav, and Mr. Sodu, and the security team is here. Following quick scans of her systems, the group will depart for the Fort McHenry Historical Preservation Site. There will be no further logging of today’s activities.

18:25 UTC—Note, Petralla Wegere, PsyD, Starfleet Medical
I often find Liberated Borg surprising when it comes to their means to analyze and adapt. One of Twelve is no different. The today’s tour went well, although there was some initial confusion when we arrived five hours before the site opened due to time zone differences that no one reminded us about. When we finally made it into the site, she seemed horrified to encounter a group of school children who were not in maturation chambers. It took some minutes before she realized we do not use maturation chambers to raise our children. She then decided the whole universe must be a maturation chamber that we never leave, a very interesting way to sum up how we continue to learn throughout our lives. I guess she does not know about, and I doubt I want to be there when she learns, pregnancy, the biological maturation chamber we all leave long before we reach maturity. Kutrizian said he would explain their other reaction to the actual location.

19:04 UTC—Note, Kutrizian Sodu
One of Twelve and Two of Twelve are frightening despite their sincerest attempts at being friendly. It is not so much their attitude toward others as it is the cold, calculated efficiency that they look at things with. Prior to the tour, I had never heard of Fort McHenry, the site of an American victory during the War of 1812. One and Two had heard of it, but mostly as a minor bynote in their assimilated knowledge. Being able to actually see the place and information on the armaments and technologies used gave them the opportunity to reevaluate the battle, not from the historical perspective as a time long ago, but as an event that would change if they had been present. After only three hours of gathering information, they claimed they had a strategy that guaranteed British victory in seven hours, or a strategy that guaranteed American victory in a time period five minutes longer, even with soldiers making mistakes and errors. I asked how that would change if they were fighting against each other, and another hour of discussion between them determined it would be a war of attrition in favor of the Americans with shorter supply lines. I cannot guess the validity of their strategies, but if they are as good as I would wager based on Starfleet Intelligence’s interest in the two, then it would be very frightening to find them loose in the galaxy, working for anyone else. Get these two into the toughest Academy classes you can, as fast as possible. They need to be challenged and have their minds taken off warfare before they find a way to take over Earth with only sticks and stones!

19:16 UTC—Reply to Note, John R. Tulleni, MD, Starfleet Medical LBRC - London - Supervisor
Mr. Sodu, is the dramatic flair necessary in your analysis?

19:59 UTC—Reply to Note, Petralla Wegere, PsyD, Starfleet Medical
Dr. Tulleni, dramatic flair or not, Mr. Sodu is correct. These Liberated Borg are a threat despite their sincere decision to join Starfleet. To them, viewing the world as a battlefield is natural, almost to the point of being a biological function. Our job here is to make them see the world as so much more.
