Abstract
The Borg Collective, known for its relentless pursuit of biological and technological assimilation, has faced unprecedented challenges in assimilating species with highly adaptive physiological traits. Among these, the Undine—a race characterized by their fluid, morphogenetic abilities—pose a unique challenge due to their ability to alter their molecular structure at will. This thesis explores the novel application of Borg nanoprobes in overcoming the adaptive barriers presented by the Undine, focusing on the technological and biological mechanisms enabling successful assimilation.
Introduction
The Borg Collective’s assimilation process relies heavily on nanoprobes—microscopic devices capable of modifying cellular and molecular structures to integrate them into the Collective. Traditional assimilation strategies have been effective against species with relatively stable physiology. However, the Undine, a species native to fluidic space, exhibit extraordinary morphogenetic flexibility, raising questions about the feasibility of their assimilation.
This thesis examines the Borg’s innovative approach to assimilating the Undine, detailing the evolution of their nanotechnology to address the challenges posed by the Undine’s ability to morph their physiological structures.
