The Borg are an alien group that appear as recurring antagonists in the Star Trek fictional universe. The Borg are cybernetic organisms (cyborgs) linked in a hive mind called "the Collective". The Borg co-opt the technology and knowledge of other alien species to the Collective through the process of "assimilation": forcibly transforming individual beings into "drones" by injecting nanoprobes into their bodies and surgically augmenting them with cybernetic components. The Borg's ultimate goal is "achieving perfection".[1][2]

The Borg are cyborgs, having outward appearances showing both mechanical and biological body parts.[4] Individual Borg are referred to as drones and move in a robotic, purposeful style ignoring most of their environment, including beings they do not consider an immediate threat. Borg commonly have one eye replaced with a sophisticated ocular implant. Borg usually have one arm replaced with a prosthesis, bearing one of a variety of multipurpose tools in place of a humanoid hand. Since different drones have different roles, the arm may be specialized for myriad purposes such as medical devices, scanners, and weapons. Borg have flat, grayish skin, giving them an almost zombie-like appearance.
Nanoprobes are microscopic machines that inhabit a Borg's body, bloodstream, and many cybernetic implants. The probes maintain the Borg cybernetic systems and repair damage to the organic parts of a Borg. They generate new technology inside a Borg when needed and protect them from many forms of disease. Borg nanoprobes, each about the size of a human red blood cell, travel through the victim's bloodstream and attach to individual cells. The nanoprobes rewrite the cellular DNA, altering the victim's biochemistry, and eventually form larger, more complicated structures and networks within the body, like electrical pathways, processing and data-storage nodes, and ultimately prosthetic devices that spring forth from the skin.[citation needed] In "Mortal Coil", Seven of Nine says the Borg assimilated the nanoprobe technology from "Species 149". In addition, the nanoprobes maintain and repair their host's mechanical and biological components on a microscopic level, imparting regenerative capabilities.
The origin of the Borg is never made clear, though they are portrayed as having existed for hundreds of thousands of years (as attested by Guinan and the Borg Queen). In Star Trek: First Contact, the Borg Queen merely states that the Borg were once much like humanity, "flawed and weak", but gradually developed into a partially synthetic species in an ongoing attempt to evolve and perfect themselves.
There was a huge investigation. They indicted the wrong man. The case got thrown out, and they never found him. I was working like six, seven days a week through all of this. It sort of became my passion. Whenever I heard something or saw something or got a call from a cop that they found another body, I would drop what I was doing and get out there.
The Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) is a way of measuring physical activity intensity level. Perceived exertion is how hard you feel like your body is working. It is based on the physical sensations a person experiences during physical activity, including increased heart rate, increased respiration or breathing rate, increased sweating, and muscle fatigue. Although this is a subjective measure, your exertion rating based on a 6 to 20 rating scale, may provide a fairly good estimate of your actual heart rate during physical activity* (Borg, 1998).
(Crusher is treating the Borg inside the cell) WORF: Lower the forcefield.(a medic enters the cell and the forcefield is raised again. Picardenters the Brig) WORF: Captain, the Borg is still unconscious.CRUSHER: He suffered massive internal injuries. We've been able tocontrol the haemorrhaging, but some of the implants in his brain weredamaged. I may have to remove them.PICARD: The Borg will die if they're removed permanently. Their brainsgrow dependent on the biochips.CRUSHER: Perhaps Geordi can construct some new implants. LAFORGE: They contain relatively straightforward programming, interfaceprotocols. We have the files we downloaded after your experience,Captain. I think I can manage it.PICARD: Mister La Forge, do you know enough about Borg programming toalter the pathways to their root command structure?LAFORGE: I'm not sure, sir. The subroutines are pretty complicated. I'dprobably have to study the data processing algorithms. It's the onlyway I could trace the access codes.PICARD: If we could get to the root command, we could introduce aninvasive programming sequence through its biochip system and thenreturn it to the hive. LAFORGE: The Borg are so interconnected it would act like a virus.PICARD: Which would infect the entire Collective. We could disabletheir neural network at a stroke.CRUSHER: Infect it? You make it sound like a disease.PICARD: Quite right, Doctor. If all goes well, a terminal one.
(Picard is fencing and beating an opponent whoturns out to be - ) GUINAN: I don't think I like this sport.PICARD: Last week when you scored two touches, you liked it wellenough. Today you were dropping your foil. You kept letting me inside.GUINAN: Ah, but if I lift up, you lunge right underneath. Let's faceit, you're just better at this than I am. I understand we have a gueston board.PICARD: Yes.GUINAN: Is that wise?PICARD: I'm not sure. I hope so.GUINAN: I thought I understood you, Picard, but I don't understand this.PICARD: It was an errand of mercy. He was injured, Doctor Crusherdecided for humanitarian reasons to care for him.GUINAN: They're going to come after us, you know that. You, of allpeople, know that.PICARD: Shall we go again?(after exchanging parries and thrusts, Guinan grabs her thigh in pain) PICARD: Are you all right? (she disarms him and scores a touch) GUINAN: You felt sorry for me. Look what it got you.
(with the apparatus they used when de-BorgifyingPicard) LAFORGE: I've been rationing his portions of energy. I think heunderstands. When he cooperates, he gets fed. If not.CRUSHER: Like a rat in a cage.LAFORGE: Look, if I'm going to figure out his command pathways, I needto learn how he processes information, and the only way I know to dothat is by giving him perceptual tests. And for that, I need hiscooperation.CRUSHER: So he can participate in the destruction of his entire species.LAFORGE: Doctor.CRUSHER: I know, I know. We're at war. I'm here to help but I don'thave to like it.LAFORGE: Okay, I think we're ready to transport him. If he gives us anytrouble, we can access the force field through that console. Are youready?LAFORGE: La Forge to transporter room three. We're ready here.CREWMAN [OC]: We're standing by, Commander.LAFORGE: Energise.(the Borg and a security man beam in. The Borg is inside the apparatusand plugs himself into a power conduit) LAFORGE: Third of Five, this is Doctor Crusher. Doctor Crusher, this isThird of Five. CRUSHER: Hello.BORG: What is a doctor?CRUSHER: A doctor heals the sick and repairs the injured.BORG: The sick and injured are reabsorbed. Others take their place.CRUSHER: That isn't what happen to you. When we found you, you weredying. I saved your life.BORG: Why?CRUSHER: It's my duty to help those who are hurt.BORG: You give us food.LAFORGE: Yeah.BORG: Is that your duty?LAFORGE: Yeah, that's right. Listen, Third of Five, Doctor Crusher herehas repaired a lot of the damage to your biochip implants. We want torun a few tests, make sure everything's working okay.BORG: Tests?CRUSHER: I'd like to show you a few diagrams and ask you some questionsabout them. It's very simple really.BORG: You will be assimilated.LAFORGE: Yes, but before that happens, could we ask you a few questions?BORG: We will answer.LAFORGE: Terrific. All right, hang on just a second here, Third of Five.BORG: What is your designation?LAFORGE: Designation?BORG: Third of Five. CRUSHER: You mean our names. We don't have designations. We have names.I'm Beverly. This is Geordi.BORG: Do I have a name?LAFORGE: Do you want one?BORG: A name.CRUSHER: I'm Beverly, he's Geordi, and you.BORG: You CRUSHER: You LAFORGE: No, no, wait a minute. That's it. Hugh. What do you think?BORG: You.LAFORGE: No, not you. Hugh.BORG: Hugh.CRUSHER: Okay. Now, I'm Beverly.LAFORGE: I'm Geordi.BORG: We are Hugh.(later, Hugh is out of the contraption looking at images on a wallmonitor) CRUSHER: Now imagine what this shape would look like if it were turnedinside out. Which one is it?BORG: This one.CRUSHER: That's right. He's gotten every one. Eight out of eight. Thatblows the top right off the spatial-acuity percentiles.LAFORGE: It's the prosthetic eye. It seems to be giving him verycomplex visual information.CRUSHER: Like some kind of holographic imaging system.LAFORGE: That could be helpful. Hugh, I'd like to take a closer look atyour eyepiece. Is that okay?BORG: Here.(he takes the eyepiece off and hands it to Geordi)LAFORGE: Thanks.BORG: When you are assimilated, you will have a similar device.CRUSHER: Hugh, do you understand we don't want to be assimilated?BORG: Why do you resist us?CRUSHER: Because we don't want to live the way you do.BORG: Here it is quiet. There are no other voices.LAFORGE: Other voices?BORG: On a Borg ship we live with the thoughts of the others in ourminds. Thousands of voices with us always.CRUSHER: I think what you're saying is that you're lonely.LAFORGE: Here.(he puts the eyepiece back on) BORG: When you have completed these tests, what will be done with us?LAFORGE: We'll er, we'll send you home.BORG: We will rejoin the Collective. 2ff7e9595c
