Resistance is futile. Fu-tile. There is— There is something terribly presumptuous about the futility of resistance, when many species have proven themselves to be remarkably resilient. It's often that ability to resist that deems them worthy of interest, of assimilation; what makes them exceptional drones once they have been assimilated into the Collective. Thus, it is the very futility of resistance itself which makes the resistance futile.

Order brought to the chaos that rebelled against the order. That resisted it.

Resistance isn't futile at all. It's vital. Resistance— Resistance is vital.

[ someone made their way through the wine through the ages exhibit and sampled the available vintages. someone who literally has zero tolerance for ~~synthehol~~ alcohol. it didn't take much to push her to the point of intoxication and speeches misdirected at the network. ]

	I have to commend you, Seven. It's a special kind of drunk where you can posit a logical argument to the sober. [ Not laughing at your girlfriend Data but only just. ] (Reply to this) (Thread)

Logic is also as vital as it is futile.

[ there's something about an ex-drone whose visual processors and motor cortex are being disrupted by her current state of inebriation that makes her appear a little less robotic and a bit more human. it's all in the relaxed, slouched way she's leaning back against the park bench she's placed herself on after walking in a straight line became increasingly difficult. ]

	[ A grim quirk of his lips. If there's anyone who knows that it's Riker. ] On that we can both agree. Which is why sometimes it pays to be illogical where the Borg are concerned. You--They just don't see it coming. Not that I'm suggesting you do anything illogical right now. You should stay put until Counselor Troi gets to you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I see it coming. They— they do not. The Collective often finds Vulcan logic deeply flawed, engrained in a moral basis which holds little relevance to the way in which the hive mind operates. However, I have found that that I relate to Commander Tuvok more so than I do to most of my human crewmates.

[ especially when it comes to social interaction, herself and the vulcan commander often standing off to the side, discussing how illogical they are. ]

I assure you, Commander, that will not be a problem. I am malfunctioning in this state of inebriation.

[ well this isn't awkward at all, is it? ]

It sounds as though you have a good point, but... I think it's time you had a glass of water.

[ because she isn't so sure she wants to address all that borg stuff. sure, she could, being the ship's counselor and the one with the psychology degree, but at this point... hrngh that's a lot of personal feelings she isn't so sure she wants to go into. ]

Yes, that is correct. Relatively speaking.

[ how is she doing? even in this state, she could provide him with a full diagnostic of her biological and cybernetic systems in relation to how well (or not well) they were operating while under the influence of true alcohol. but she doesn't feel like it. rare for her, but understandable while she's... like this. ]

I have.

[ she's sobered some by this point, having already been visited by counselor troi. but now her head is throbbing a way that it didn't before, the last time she experienced this particular... ailment. of course, the last time, she'd been immediately intercepted by the doctor and taken directly to sickbay for the appropriate hypospray and implant adjustments. ]

[That had been him a few days ago, but he had managed to avoid broadcasting anything over the network. Still, though, advanced being or not, he had a feeling she was going to regret this tomorrow, physically if not emotionally.

He had heard from the other contacts that someone was were on her way to help, so, for now, he would keep her talking so that she didn't pass out before the help arrived.]

And interesting thought, however, what is the percentage of success in assimilation? If resistance is vital, wouldn't one think that it would make it harder to assimilate a species that way?

[He swallowed the little bit of trepidation he felt at the idea of talking about assimilation, but she brought up the topic first. Changing it too quickly might make her hang up on him.]

	Re: [ video ] trial_by_veda 2014-02-07 04:15 am UTC (link)
	That is very high. However, it is not 100%. Is that because of the resistance or because of a lack of resistance and therefore interest? [That was a daunting success rate. He tried not to let himself falter at the idea.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
