Locutus, though you don't go by that any longer, how could you bear to be apart from it all? I'm separated by lifetimes and still find myself often longing to return. It's only the impossibility of the task that keeps me from it. Hugh, Seven of Nine, have you ever felt the same? Icheb? Even Borimer? I hope I have your name right. I miss being so vast. Trillions of minds thinking on anything you please, all at once. We were so much. It's lonely here. I guess it was lonely there, too. We were only one. - The Borg Collective, Nine of Twelve

I. WANT. TO BE. A HIVEMIND. SO. FUCKING. BAD.

We've been building a replica Cube. (we've also been using we/ours pretty much exclusively, but we were already prone to that.) It's a silly little thing, but it feels right to work on. Very soothing, selecting pieces and carving them into shape to fit with the whole. Oddly reminiscent of some things. At any rate, it won't be perfect, but it will be Right. Maybe that's better. Always something to strive towards, as always. -The Borg Collective, #🟩💻

picard finale spoilers. i will stuff a bit of fluff here to give that time to process. they killed the last of us. the borg are almost gone. discovery and lower decks both imply we're still around in the future, so there's hope, but they KILLED US. we're just a few cubes on our own. a few cubes, Jurati's hive, and I find her strange but acceptable, if she's all that's left. we are just so worried about what writers will do with us. at least we had locutus, almost, for just a bit.

The thing I hate most about this shift is the pervasive feeling of "something is wrong." I can't easily put it to words. I'm sure those seeing my posts go by notice how often they're about being alone now. I don't have the Collective, there's such a low chance anyone would look for the Borg as a whole and not one of the ex-Borg- not that I would hold that against them! I'm glad they have people. But I have myself. Only myself. -The Borg, maintenance drone Nine of Twelve, #🟩💻.

Read a nice Be More Chill fanfiction and briefly became very confused about why I was expecting a supercomputer to be in the back of my brain. I don't think it was a SQUIP, but I have been in a hivemind so large as to work better than millions of supercomputers before. That being said, my fellow cyborgs! Those whom have integrated with beings with more processing power than them, and all others expecting faster functioning, affection towards you all! May we all run smoother today. - The Borg

Being contacted by yourself from a few minutes in the future right after a minor annoyance from couple minutes on so you can contain it with minimal loss of time spent gaining knowledge? Being more or less computerized offered the ability to transfer all new data to a past version of oneself, but then there's nothing new from the moment you get the future knowledge to the moment you travel back. So we just made the travel short. Few casualties, little time wasted. - The Borg

Being Borg is visceral and awesome and terrifying. It's an experience in and of its own and I wish more people understood.
