Seven didn't. At least not originally. Annika was dragged along by her parents out into the middle of nowhere to get assimilated.
Yes, she decided as an adult to continue her career in space, but she definitely didn't make that original choice.
We all live in outer space, out in the middle of nowhere. Everyone ever has, and will. And not a single one of us got a warning of the risks before they roped us all into this. Kinda messed up when you think about it.
Yeah, but no one gets to choose where they live as a kid. Her parents took her to a particularly dangerous place, but plenty of parents go someplace dangerous with their kids on purpose. It's basically abusive behavior, but it's also not like they ever lauded Annika's parents as heroes. They were pretty neutral on what happened.
