"In the season 6 episode “Survival Instinct,” the ship encounters three former members of Seven’s unimatrix with the Borg. While they were unconscious, she made the decision to have their remaining Borg implants removed, meaning they would return to individuality but have only a month to live. One of the three, a Bajoran woman named Marika Wilkara, made the decision to spend that month on Voyager. This is her story, as told by Harry Kim."
