[Open, but filtered AWAY from the Borg Queen and O'Brien]

[So T'Pol is really bad at small talk. Really, really bad. She tends to need a few minutes just to figure out what to say, because it's awkward. So there's a few seconds of silence, because on some level she can't believe she's actually bothering.]

I'm - curious. Most take individuality for granted; I hope I'll be forgiven when I say humans particularly so. On Vulcan, individuality is honored and respected, to an extent, but even on Earth, there are those who would give up a portion of their identity as an individual in order to be a part of something. It is, I believe, more than a 'mob mentality.'[She's throwing in human phrases with less and less hesitation lately, but it still sounds kind of. weird.]'

I would like to know what the majority of you find an acceptable cause for one to give up his or her individual identity. [And that sounds terribly awkward, because she's thought about this plenty, and it's really just an almost desperate hope for new answers.]

What can you tell me of the Ba'ku?

[Private to the EMH]

[She actually sounds almost impatient.] Have you made preparations?


((OOC: Slightly backdated to earlier today. T'Pol's been acting off because her daughter died about this time a year ago for her. So recklessness and idle chatter, yay! :|))

[So Trip has been feeling kind of funny all day. And now this happened, and it's just setting off all kinds of red flags.]

... Everything all right? [You can almost hear the 'darlin' he almost tacked on there.]

The only individuals permitted at the order makers and strategists; but even then they must follow directions from those above them. Dissention within the ranks leads to dissolution of the chain of command and then the cause is lost.

I do not know you were one for small talk.

[She should've gone with that D: ]

Those who don't appreciate life don't deserve it. This goes for the self-destructive--such as drug addicts--and those who do harm to others. They need to be given a choice: change or die.

In my experience, humans are better as individuals. They're smarter, more understanding, and capable of rational thought. As a collective, they're stupid, impetuous, impulsive, and destructive.

However, humans have brains structured to encourage troupe units. We want to be in groups and we'll accept others of a foreign nature into our group. We'll protect them as if they're one of our own.

Giving up one's individual identity is suicide.
