Adam@flargh I also think the existence of a Borg Queen and Borg Drones means there’s sweet sweet Borg Honey somewhere in the middle of their cubes.

f00f/eris/continuum/etc@flargh seven of nine and locutus were probably considered borgeois

Seiðr@flargh That would also imply the existence of the Borgletariat.

Going T. Maine@flargh booooooo
Chris [list of emoji]So at one point, I spent some time plotting out a dark'n'gritty TNG sequel series where the Borg show up, assimilate the old enemies and start on Federation space. As a last-ditch effort, the Federation sends their remaining top-tier warship equipped with an Ultimate Weapon (designed by a traumatized Wesley Crusher) to the recently-discovered Borg Nexus world in an attempt to decapitate the hierarchy.
At the end of it, they'd find out that the Borg ideal of bringing equality was long gone. The top of the hierarchy turned out to be the usual authoritarian clique, long past the point of any kind of competence and whose every whim would become the Collective's motivated action.
They invaded Federation space because someone looked at Earth and said, "ooh, shiny!" and that thought expanded into an invasion.
(This was at a point in my life where I hadn't quite grasped that dark-and-gritty was not the same as smart or deep. The thing about Star Trek that makes it valuable is its sense of optimism about the future. So it's probably just as well that this didn't get off the drawing board in any form.)
