In my mind, the term "terminal" implies that she was controlling the
collective, since a terminal is used to input commands.  Seven was only
a tool, exercising little or no judgement and control herself, except
for those times when her connection to the collective was inhibited, at
which time she followed her latest programmed parameters.
