[Filtered away from the Borg Queen, Rex, and O'Brien]

I'd like to speak with those who were on board when the Borg Queen managed to take control. Particularly with those who were assimilated.

[Private to Kay, Snape, Kirk, and Trip]

The Doctor is ready to conduct the experiment I mentioned. If you are still able, please meet us in the infirmary.

[Private to the Borg Queen]

Please meet me in the infirmary.

[Private (spam?) to the EMH]

I contacted four people to act as a security team. They should arrive shortly.

((OOC: WOO FLYING BY THE SEAT OF MY PANTS. I think this would probably be hideous to log, even if it could be potentially epic, but I'm really not sure just yet what we can assume. I really just wanted this up so it wasn't something that just fell by the way side. OKAY UPDATE. We can just assume it out. For all outward intents and purposes, it'll look like the Borg Queen and T'Pol are just hanging out in the infirmary chilling, and then after a time, it's all reversed. No epic freak outs or anything. I'll try and catch you guys on AIM too. <3))

I was on board, but wasn't assimilated. If there's any information I can help you with, I'd be happy to provide what I can.

I arrived at the very end, I believe, likely after she'd been stopped and those who had been assimilated had been reverted. I would like to know details of what happened, if you can provide any.

Right. I'm not very good at the technical details.

But... hold on.

[Private]

As far as I was aware, there was some... malfunction which allowed her to get all her technological abilities back - I don't know exactly what happened, but my inmate got hers back too, and blew up a lamp or something.

Then... I think she attacked some people, and persuaded others to go to her by promising them powers, or something else. Elle went to her under the belief that if she did, she'd get all her powers back. She didn't know that the Borg Queen planned to assimilate her.

Then I think another... 20 or so people were assimilated, to my knowledge. I can't quite be sure, but the essential aim at this point, for me, was to protect the people left as much as I could - and we did so, in the dining hall, until we were in a position where everyone else was safe, and we had means to go out and find a way to stop her.

How she was stopped, I'm a little fuzzy on the details of, as I was more involved in the above than stopping her, and I'm no scientist.

Likely the malfunction was fixed. Do you know who her warden was at the time? Or if anyone volunteered for assimilation, knowing what would happen?

Her warden was the Doctor. The one with the scarf.

I don't think anyone did, but I wouldn't rule it out.

If I may ask, how did Elle deal with it?

Not well, but better than most. She still can't stand her, and I couldn't blame her for that.

I think she learned some empathy from it, in a sense. Thinking about it, it was my first week or so on the job and I probably didn't ask the right questions after that.

I see. It's unfortunate my inmate couldn't learn t hat as well. Thank you, Sergeant.

I'll be there.

Thank you.

[Fffffff someone is very, very concerned about this. BUT WE ARE HERE TO DO A JOB and therefore he's going to suck it up.]

I'll be there.

Thank you. [SHE'S NOT BEING CRAZY, RIGHT? RIGHT? ;;]

Anytime. [TRIP REALLY WANTS TO TALK YOU OUT OF THIS. :|||]

That'd be me, but I don't know how it happened. Just that nulled everyone's abilities, so we couldn't fight back against her techno-zombies so easily.

Clearly, she made an exception for them.

But you were not assimilated?

No, thank God. Remember something about the rest having whatever remained getting zapped out of 'em, though. One of the godly types did it.

They were helping her? Assimilated or not?

No. They just reversed the effects fully. Like, beyond what our medical staff were capable of.

Do you recall who?

That 'Q' guy, maybe... Possibly Loki. But it was a long time ago, can't say for sure.

I understand. Thank you for the information.

I was this... It still confuses me.

Do you remember being a part of the Collective?

Yes.

Strange... Many voices speaking, all at same time. United. No disagreements.

It was... Like a cold mother's kiss.

I do not write to her. I fear awakening things.

Is it something you miss, or something you fear?

Both, in some ways...

It is strange and I do not like to dwell upon it.

I apologize. It's important that I discover as much as I can about being a part of the Collective.

It is difficult to... Express what was known in words. I still do not understand some parts of it, even if I had at the time.

You don't understand the Collective?

I understand some. More than I would have, before. But... My English is not so good.

Voices... So many voices. ~~And we grew closer to perfection with each~~

All speaking as one?

Yes and... Deciding as one.

Much unity.

But there was no objecting... It felt right. Good.

At the time.

And after?

I do not like having my flow of thoughts... Controlled in this way.

And there was no passion. None, at all. No wildness. Only metal. Metal and ghosts.

Did you regret, at any point, being disconnected?

Yes. Very much so.

It took much meditation and... Techniques to cleanse myself of this troubling loss.

Morgan, the pirate lady - she must feel it, too. Remember our voices, as we remember her own. Her life. Her secrets. But she reacts to it with anger.

She killed her, you know?

Edited 2011-02-02 04:13 (UTC)

Morgan killed the Queen?

Yes. After. When that one was held in our prison.

Do you recall what was done to deal with the situation?

I think she resigned from teaching others for a very long time.

...I see. Thank you for your help. If there is anything else about the experience that you feel able to share in the future, I would appreciate it.

Of course, Commander.

I see you haven't reconsidered.

I'll be along.

[OOC: As with Kay, it can be assumed Snape is standing by, quietly, and exuding waves of DISAPPROVAL.]

Edited 2011-02-01 15:26 (UTC)

Obviously not.

((OOC: Mmm, disapproval. I added a note up top! I can explain more on AIM if it's necessary. :]))

I'm ready when you are, Commander.

As soon as everyone's assembled.

[Private] And if you need a log, you can assume Kay is quietly standing there with a gun.
