VIC Season 2

She also clashes several times with Lt. Cmdr Horton, who judges her as a blonde, not as a borg drone, but to two would later become good friends throughout the entire series, despite Kaycee's snobbish demeanor.

Lt. Cmdr. Lauren Johannson is introduced in the series as the newst ship's counselor. Johannson is an tomboy who would wear a leather jacket with her standard uniform and an ponytail. She is an Australian native and speaks in Aussie slang, which her new crewmates would sometimes use. She has psychic and sensing abilities.

Captain Wesley Crusher leaves the ship on an year-long reassignment mission, leaving Alexandra Laren in charge. He would later return in season 3.

Charlene Tate is also introduced as the newest Transporter Chief, and significantly, K introduces the crew of the Victory to the Borg, their most dangerous adversary yet.
