Theres a good chance most of us wouldn't be considered worthwhile drones, to be honest.
I would be broken down into nutrients instantly.
Thank you for your sacrifice
Been there.
Still, at least I'd be useful for something
I believe in you, too!
"A remarkable creature. Your design nearly passes as human."
"...I am human?"
"Ew! well, then you need to drink more water."
Is that an actual line from the doctor?
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.
Figures
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 moment.
Some of these points assume the Borg we saw outside of Voyager, because Voyager really neutered the Borg in so many ways.
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.
Isn't that just Unimatrix Zero?
Well if I’m going to have to worry about the borg queen trying to crush Unimatrix Zero, forgettaboudit.
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?
