But the Star Trek: Picard epilogue cleverly cut off the final scene aboard the USS Enterprise-G before we could hear how Captain Seven initiates warp. Star Trek: Legacy was set up as a spinoff show about Captain Seven of Nine's USS Enterprise-G crew, with Commander Raffi Musiker (Michelle Hurd), Lieutenant Sidney La Forge (Ashlei Sharpe Chestnut), and Ensign Jack Crusher (Ed Speleers). Paramount+ hasn't ordered Star Trek: Legacy as either a series or a streaming Star Trek movie, so we may never know what Seven's warp command is, but I think this one would work.
Captain Seven Of Nine’s Perfect Warp Command Is "Proceed"
"Proceed" Is A Simple, But Efficient Command To Take Captain Seven's USS Enterprise-G To Warp
I think Captain Seven of Nine's perfect warp command is simply "proceed". While Captain Seven of Nine has left her Borg ways behind her and embraced her own individuality, some old habits die hard. That means Seven of Nine still values efficiency, so a short, one-word warp command like "proceed" is perfect for the new Captain of the USS Enterprise-G. "Proceed" is also something that Seven of Nine says to her USS Voyager crewmates on Star Trek: Voyager, so the brief command still honors Seven's origins as a protégé of Captain Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew).
The thing to keep in mind about Seven of Nine's warp command at the end of Star Trek: Picard season 3 is that all eyes are on her, expecting Captain Seven to come up with something unique and impactful in the moment. Seven of Nine doesn't have time to think of a groundbreaking new phrase; instead, it's more likely that Captain Seven of Nine will order the USS Enterprise-G to warp with whatever command comes to mind. "Proceed" suits Seven, especially as a more formal complement to Captain Janeway's straightforward "do it" from Star Trek: Voyager.
Star Trek’s “Evil Genius” Idea For Captain Seven’s Warp Command Would Be Fun… For A While
Seven Of Nine Has To Actually Have A Warp Command, Eventually
There's also a chance that Captain Seven of Nine just wouldn't have a warp command at all. Speaking to ScreenRant's Grant Hermanns, Jeri Ryan shared an "evil genius" idea for Captain Seven, in which Star Trek: Legacy, if it ever happens, would just keep cutting away from Captain Seven's warp command every time she says it. Seven's catchphrase being a mystery could be a fun running joke for a while — maybe until the end of Star Trek: Legacy's first season — but Captain Seven of Nine would eventually need to have an actual command to initiate warp.
Things have changed since the days of classic Star Trek, when Starfleet captains didn't necessarily need to have specific, individual catchphrases that order their starships to warp. With more Star Trek captains than ever, though, each captain having their own warp command helps define their leadership style. That phrase reflects how they view the broad, excited hope that exists at the moment right before the action kicks into gear. But we'll just have to wait and see what Captain Seven of Nine says in Star Trek: Legacy, if the Star Trek: Picard spinoff ever, well... proceeds.
