Avon was...contaminated. His reflection in the mirror still didn't feel like his own. But he was alive, fully conscious, and functioning. He knew that, sooner or later, his experience with the Borg would come back to haunt him - but not today. Today, he needed to get out of the clinic and find Data. If he couldn't walk unassisted, he would crawl. No amount of pain or trauma was going to keep him from his fiance any longer.
