      Theres a good chance most of us wouldn’t be considered worthwhile drones, to be honest.

        “A remarkable creature. Your design nearly passes as human.”

            It’s from Lower Decks. A simulation of the Borg Queen says this to Boimler while he’s taking a test on a mini-holodeck.

      The only downside, really, is the retconned-in CEO with all that individuality at the top of the otherwise equal system. When she started blowing up cubes just to flex on her enemies, that was a real porky-happy moment.

      • physical disability: that might just get you euthanized.
      • limited resources: again, I see euthanasia as a possible Borg solution.
      • loneliness: ever heard of being lonely in a crowd?
      • mental health: again, a malfunctioning drone would likely just get euthanized.

      Some of these points assume the Borg we saw outside of Voyager, because Voyager really neutered the Borg in so many ways.

      Loneliness? Literally impossible

      This is my sticking point. There’s nothing better than the feeling of being alone in the house, at least for a little while.

      Now if it came with a fully customizable virtual world where I could be alone if I wanted to, then I’d be down.

      Alternatively: You have no distinctiveness that will augment our own, so we’re going to liquefy you and feed you to the childborgs.

        was that borg policy? every borg individual had some beneficial distinctiveness? I guess I’ll get liquefied then

      If I was accepted as a drone, it’d be fine by me. I’m so tired of worrying about everyday existence in the devolving hellscape of a world we now occupy.

      But, if you have a physical disability, they don’t bother assimilating you I thought?
