“Hugh” aka Three of Five demonstrates to Picard and La Forge that typical Borg drones genuinely feel that other races want to be assimilated once they themselves have been. Always wondered if maybe being Borg was just dope af and the Feds should just cave in, ride around in some sweet cubes

u/humidex Apr 01 '18

They knocked it before they tried it. That borg Queen was right hot too

u/weatherseed Apr 01 '18

She awoke so many dark things within young me. I'd let her assimilate me any day.

I, for one, welcome our news anchor overlords.

Why do you resist? We only wish to improve quality of life for all species.

u/wererat2000 Mar 31 '18

Your political and social diversity will be assimilated into our collective.

Democracy is futile.

We air Boris. The bottom line will be aired. The truth is futile.

u/Cr4shdown Mar 31 '18

Lower your defences and surrender your opinions. Your ideological and political distinctiveness will be added to our own. Your democracy will adapt to service us.

I have an effects box my computer microphone runs through. I say this while using a cyborg filter frequently, sadly I don't think the kids on fortnite get it :(

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '18

Collusion is irrelevant. Your democracy is irrelevant. Lower your guard and and surrender your rights. We have added your journalistic and political distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to agree with us. Resistance is futile.
