Well...I mean, they should, but they shouldn't use them. They should shoot them. In the face.
Why?
Because Klingons wouldn't see a "liberated" Klingon as a FULL Klingon. They would see him or her as crippled, disgraced, or "less" than Klingon. And let's face it, these guys don't exactly have handicapped parking spaces at the local Klingon Wal-Mart. You stub your friggin' TOE and get a limp, and they're pretty much ready to write you off.
So a liberated Klingon? They'd pity them, and be disgusted by them, and then give them a disruptor beam right in the pie hole.

PMSL!! I can see where you are coming from on this idea, but I have to say it made me nearly spit my tea scross the keyboard as I read it
Klingons love to hunt, hunt "tough" prey, and would TOTALLY kick your butt down a well.
In fact, I'm *pretty* sure that the endless-pit-well-of-death is a standard feature in most Klingon households. Gramma comes over for dinner, no one wants her there..

Yeah, but with Klingon canon? Any type of disability is considered death penalty for honor. Wheelchair access doesn't exist on the Klingon Homeworld.
HELL. They *paint* handicapped spaces just to lure people there to shoot.
For honor.
How do things like regeneration, superior vision, eidetic memory and other Borg modifications qualify as a disability? They have been made better, stronger than before.
Liberated Borg Klingons do not need wheelchairs as they no longer even need to sit. Sitting is for the week, non-Borgified Klingons.
But liberated Borgs have been captured in battle - changed - and forced past their will to defy the Klingon code of honor. That alone is grounds for "honorable suicide". No *true* Klingon would allow his or herself to become a slave to the Borg Hive, and those "saved"?
They're detached. Still reacclimating, and are no longer "fully klingon". Which is why you always see eyepatches instead of visors. They are a proud people.
As i recall there was a kligon ex-borg in the voyager episode "Unimatrix Zero"
And i certainly never saw any indication of him thinking himself dishonored or anything because he had been assimialted.
In fact he seemed to quite enjoy fighting the borg in the typical way a klingon enjoys battle. :cool:
Oh please, he lost an eye. Eveyone knows that One-Eyed Klingons are considered "FRIGGING STUDLY". Hell, most Klingon men gouge out their OWN eyes just to score with chicks.
Chicks dig Pirates. Known fact.
If he was skull-humped by a Borg Implant, forced to assimiliate a few of his buddies, and THEN returned to the Klingon home world? I doubt he'd have made it to Chancellor, even as a Pirate.
Though, he would have probably still gotten the chicks.

Can a brother gedda KWA'PATH?
I think someone having implants isn't that big a deal now, given that a ton of Klingons worship a 1/4 Klingon chick--in Starfleet, no less--as their savior.
We're not talking chasing a hot chick here. Guys of *any* race or species are stupid in that regard. If the Borg Queen had a big enough rack and got loosey goosey after a couple shots of Jager, we'd ALL have eye beams and bald heads.
I'm talking Klingons. The dyed-in-the-wool, honor and valor, killing-me-gives-me-wood KLINGONS.
We need a few of them to chime in on the value of their Borgified Brothers.

There ARE no Klingon Special Olympics.

You know I kinda agree with both of you guys how about this. The vast majority of Klingon society would share the first view. And there might be splinter sect of radicals that would share the second view. I mean shoot in game there's the main quest thread where a few klingon extremists are out to genetically modify klingons to make the perfect warrior. I'm sure that's not a practice widely accepted but there are obviously some that would twist the warrior code to fit their ends. Liberated borg might fall into the same category.
I'm pretty sure the first klingon to have interaction with a liberated borg indeed fired a bolt at their pie hole, but... it was absorbed by the shield. The Klingon Borg then growled, backhanded the disruptor out of his attackers hand, head butted the attacker with his enhanced metallic ridges, smiled and used his borg eye to guide his D'k tahg directly into his heart.
I agree Clingon loose respect when being captured. Clingon should always fight to death or take their own life in case of certain capture. Clingon fights even the defeat is certain. They have it in their blood and most of all respect is worth more in clingonsoceitey than life itself. So yes Clingons would not accpet liberated clingon borg as their own...

....really? lol
dude
You got that backwards by the way: Theyre spartans... not Klingons
Klingons are more Spartan badass than Spartans lol
uber spartans
Klingons: It is a dishonor to be captured. In those instances you are to kill yourself or kill as many enemies to get free. If you are a liberated Borg, it means you got free. Being injured is not dishonorable as long as you can still hold a blade. The shows have shown plenty of Klingons with only one eye...leading to poor depth perception. And two of them were generals. Battle scars and damage does not warrant a death penalty or pity as long as you continue to fight. People can challenge you for your command and such, but if you win, that is that. Pity and dishonor are only for those "that wait" (meaning wait for their death do to ailment or old age.)

You're thinking of Predators.
Not really seeing a distinction.

KLA'PAH! *KICK* right down the well.
I'll have to check wikipedia to confirm tho.
Now you're thinking of Canadians.

Exactly, more like Spartans on steroids with a worse attitude. :rolleyes:
Close enough
Sweet just made Senior Member
...but what about KLINGONS?

On a serious note - I totally agree with you.
...actually, I am for the spot between the shoulderblade, then hide behind Spevak.
But you get the meaning.
