    these are pretty big fish, but if you are asking for the likes of Tuvok being assimilated during a mission, the answer is most probably no. i dont think CBS would approve or Tim Russ himself, to see his on screen character turn into a mindless drone, again.
    Wasn't Tuvok already assimilated (voluntarily, but it then backfired) in a Voyager episode?

    --Admiral T'nae and Ambassador Suighara should be assimilated because the one is a Romulan-hating racist moron and the other is a long-winded bore.

    --Neelix should be assimilated, and we have to kill him. Over and over again.

    She's not Racist she just does not trust the Romulans, and who can blame her.


    YES YES YES YES YES, that's one STF I would not mind grinding.

    No, wait, assimilate Koren!

    Maybe then, she'll be more likable.:D

    Or not: "We are the mighty Borg, your shields are no match for us, prepare to be boarded, you petaQ! Resistance is futile, you will! Be! Assimilated! IT! WILL! BE! GLORIOUS! FOR THE COLLECTIVE!"

    Assimilate Morn... the players go try to free him, but... wait, would he even still talk, even Assimilated?

    Would the Borg even notice him. :confused:

    --Uh, she's pretty clearly a Vulcan supremacist. But TEHO, I guess.

    --Agreed. KILL NEELIX OF BORG!!!!!

    Morn never shuts up, man. I don't even being assimilated by the Borg could stop him.

    I want to see the Chef and the Epohh Lady get assimilated by the Borg.

    I know, that's why there is the "voluntarily". I know, I should have added "voluntarily so he remained himself and that would have been interesting to see him interacting with the collective as his vulcan self, but it had to backfire and make him the only one of the team to get his mind assimilated, wasting a perfectly good plot", but I thought it was obvious.

    If anyone should be assimilated, it should be D'Tan. It'd be pretty interesting how his disappearance would shatter the Romulan Republic - and if he were liberated, how that would affect his command decisions.

    Maybe he'd stop being such an idiotic optimist. For a Unificationist, he doesn't have much of a survival instinct.

    If he were assimilated, even temporarily, it'd be...interesting. Probably in a good way.

    Agreed. I thought a raging mad D'Tan, hellbent on killing the Borg, might cause more strife.

    Nah, he'd be good for galactic unity.

    The current version fools around with enemy-controlled tech that's millennia beyond his civilization's capacity.

    Greetings All,

    How would you feel about having one of your factions more prominent NPC's Assimilated by the Borg?

    It would have to a an NPC that has some kind of importance in STO and a Character that would be missed IMO.

    We could later Liberate the Character from the Borg in some type of story mission or arc.

    An NPC who needs to be liberated already exists: Donatra.

    How about we just nuke the entire Collective with relativistic kinetic strikes and forget that those overused abominations ever existed?

    e'genn was in the middle of the previous esd near the respec trainer, from e'genns prospective the respec trainer was on the left of this large circular console. when you first get the mission to goto memory alpha, your contact is e'genn. its been such a long time ago, im surprised anyone remembers such an interaction.

    My point exactly. I completely forgot who he was, therefore it had zero emotional impact, ergo it was the wrong choice. Should've been Sulu. Hell, I would've even accepted the infiltrator turning out to be Quinn himself because at least I would've known who he was and possibly cared.

    I wouldn't mind liberating Donatra from the Collective. Would make for an interesting dynamic between her and D'Tan once she got her wits about her.

    Wow that never occurred to me and I agree it would be quite the storeline.

    How about a Feature Episode where WE get assimilated.

    Just like Picard, Janeway, Tuvock, and Torres have been in the shows (and Phlox to an extent).

    Captain Rebecca Simmons of the USS Venture.
    Commander Donatra of the IRW Valdore.
    Almost; Ja'rod son of Lursa of the IKS Kang.

    these are pretty big fish, but if you are asking for the likes of Tuvok being assimilated during a mission, the answer is most probably no. i dont think CBS would approve or Tim Russ himself, to see his on screen character turn into a mindless drone, again.

    I was thinking more on the lines of Quinn, Sulu,members of the Enterprise F crew, Ja'rod (the Borg seem to have an intrest in him already), S'stas, J'mpok, members of the I.K.S. Bortasqu' crew, obisek, D'Tan, members of the R.R.W. Lleiset crew and last and most definitely least Captain Kurland (but the Borg can keep him).

    Well if we could steal what was done with the Borg in the Mirror Universe books at the hands of one very vengeful Picard we could wipe out the entire collective with an Iconian based retro virus.

    The more I hear about Liberating Donatra the better it sounds.

    Having Dontra Liberated and reintergrated into what is now the Romulan Republic would add so much needed depth to the list of NPC characters of that faction.

    I support this.

    Donatra was the only really interesting IRS character in Nemesis. Shinzon was dumb, Tal'Aura was barely there, and Shinzon's viceroy could've been cool but got turned into a stereotypical mind-r*pist nitwit.

    Before we think about liberating donatra can we not PLEASE give that annoying Tovan a reason to exist? It would give a perfectly good reason to get rid of him.
    Hell if I could I'd beam him aboard a cube, never fire a shot and transwarp away leaving a "he's your pain in the TRIBBLE now :)" banner in space behind me, secure in the knowledge I'd just given the collective the biggest headache :D

    Morn never shuts up, man. I don't even being assimilated by the Borg could stop him.

    I think Morn would be the first being ever assmilated by the Borg, only to be "liberated" within 12 hours- by the Borg. Morn's too much for the Collective by far. :D

    I'd be onboard with a liberated Donatra as well. It would be quite a refreshing break from all that Undine panic to have a quick side mission, where you rehabilitate Donatra from her experiences with the Collective.
