* ImmuneToMindControl: Subverted with Seven and Naomi. They aren't immune, but they were unaffected by the creature's influence because they're not interested in returning to Earth. Seven because she was a former Borg drone and afraid of how she would be treated. Naomi because she was born on Voyager and has never seen Earth. Seven then nearly falls victim to it when the creature [[SchrodingersButterfly fools her into thinking they've escaped]], because that is what she currently wants. Qatai has learned to resist the creature's illusions over the decades, but finds he's still capable of being fooled. The Doctor is the only one who is truly immune because he is a hologram.
