The Borg is one thing I’d actually like to see the origins of. Like we can assume it was a race of technologically advanced aliens that decided one day to plug themselves in, then their own prime directive gradually took over as they became less and less human for lack of a better term for the parent species, and more and more machine. And now they’re a universal paperclip AI, bent on advancement through assimilation, all traces of who they were completely wiped away

I just thought Q made them up

That would be pretty hilarious, honestly. Starfleet does a whole deep dive to figure out where the Borg came from. Turns out that they just appeared randomly in the shape of the English letter Q. Admiral Picard throws his Padd at the wall, breaking a replicator and causing it to generate multiple cups of Earl Grey.

I like to think being a homogenizing swarm is default behavior and the Borg just got really good at it. They're still not as good as The Culture, of course, who make your biological and technological distinctiveness not matter.

Pretty sure that in Voyager the queen talks about them being once a race that wanted to reach perfection and started augmenting their bodies qith technology

Yes, please assimilate me. I need a nap and some snacks so bad.

My sister and I have a kind of inside joke after we stumbled upon a weird swedish porn.
“We are the Bjørg. You will be ass-stimulated. Resistance is requested.”

Oh that is absolutely amazing
teft@startrek.website 1 year ago
Why were you and your sister watching porn together?
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 year ago
It wasn’t intentional. The internet used to be wild as fuck.

You should use Ö for Swedish, as only Norwegian and Danish use Ø.
