    "...including at least 16 individuals known only as "Number Two"...

    I'm sorry - the only thing that pops into my head is Austin Powers shouting "Who does Number Two work for??"

    Wait...why ISN'T Number Two on here?

    Of course TK421 isn't listed. That lazy good-for-nothing is never at his post.

    Some of us prefer to refer to the Ho-Borg as 69, because that is a much more enlightening descriptor of her purpose on the show.

    Agent 355... *contemplative sigh*

    Brian K. Vaughn really set the bar so high with her, I just don't think anyone will ever create another character, numbered or named, that will come close.

    Talk about bad-ass...

    What about the unborn Seven Constanza?

    Seven of Nine might be disqualified, since her name on the set was the alphanumeric "44 of D". At least according to those of her castmates who attend conventions...
