Saffi

R7 is the femslash ship between Raffi Musiker and Seven of Nine from the Star Trek fandom.

Assimilation
Seven tries to get her "husband" to stand down, but he hits her in the face. Raffi yells not to touch her and the two fight off the security members. They share a brief look after the fight, but run to Elnor's side to check on him. They get him to medbay, but Raffi can't find anything to help him. Seven tells her to grab the Dermal pads to stop the bleeding when they're chassed by Confederation ships. Rios yells that he needs more help and Raffi tells Seven to go. Seven does so as Raffi continues to look after Elnor.

As Rios and Seven are discussing what to do with the ship, Raffi says that they need to go in ten. Seven says to slow down. They don't even know where they are going. Raffi looked into it and found the highest point in LA in 2024. They'll be able to run a complete scan for alien signals from there.

After they get changed, Raffi gives Seven a transporter badge and starts to go over the mission. Seven tries to interrupt to asks if Raffi wants to talk, but Raffi doesn't. She wants to fix the timeline, and not think about what it was like to watch Elnor die.

After they are transported around LA, Raffi is held at gunpoint, but she easily takes the guy out. She takes his money just as Seven arrives, complimenting her on her ability to "make friends". Raffi points out that she started it, and then looks to the homeless camp in front of her. She then asks why Seven looks so relaxed, but she dodges and says that they need to find Rios. Raffi says that Rios is probably on his way and they should get going.

Raffi and Seven get into the tower when they're stopped by a security guard. Seven plays it off like the two are girlfriends trying to recapture a moment from their first date. He allows them to be quick, and Seven is amazed that strangers like her for once. Raffi says that Seven and 2024 should get a room, as she walks off.

At the top of the tower, Seven says that the future is starting out there. With everything falling apart. Raffi says not if they can help it, but the Watcher should help. Raffi gets ping for a moment, but then it disappears. Seven asks if it's interference when they get a ping from Rios' badge.
