Takara_Soong 4 Posted November 28, 2004 With all their technology you'd think they would have had one. That would be an Excellent Assimilation tool, No??? 284256[/snapback] I think they did pretty good without one. How would you put nanoprobes in a virus though?

Jeanway 0 Posted November 28, 2004 Well, if nanoprobes were to be the vehicle I guess they would have to be infected with them. Viruses are smaller than bacteria and it sounds feasable, no? I don't know the relationship in size between nanoprobes, viruses and bacteria but I would think that nanoprobes, being tiny machines were probably larger than viruses and bacteria.

WEAREBORG4102 0 Posted November 29, 2004 Well... I've always wondered why the Borg didn't just transport people from other ships to their own. I mean, the borg cube has certainly enough firepower to takedown the shields and transport the whole crew and assimilate them and then assimilate the technology later. That would be efficient. But Jeanway, I see your point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3 of 7 0 Posted November 29, 2004 In the books "Homecoming" and "The Farther Shore" it is actually talked about a Borg virus! But that is actually the nanoprobe which is airborn! Well...

It has a beam then locked on a target it instanteniously transport people from that target and into the Assimilator there they at once are assimilated!!!

WEAREBORG4102 0 Posted November 30, 2004 Yep.... I remember... It damages the ship's systems after you take down their shields with torpedoes. After that, you take out their crew and you get the ship.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wishfire 2 Posted November 30, 2004 I think the Borg think more along the lines of computer viruses rather than biological ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deagletime 1 Posted November 30, 2004 In fact, the borg did experiment with nano-viruses to infect humans which would had a 10 year incubation period. In the episode 5x15 dark frontier, the borg queen assigns the task to create the biological weapon to seven of nine who flatly refuses.. the biological weapon was going to be specifically designed to infect the humans which would facilitate assimilation over a period of time, since direct frontal assaults on the UFP had proven ineffective twice.
