/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

I didn't know we had a queen - I thought we were an anarcho-syndicalist collective?
You're fooling yourself. We're living in a dictatorship: a self-perpetuating autocracy in which the working drones...
HELP! HELP! I'M BEING UNASSIMILATED!!
When they added the Borg "queen", I was really bummed - because I had definitely thought of them as an autonomous collective.
What is the point of the Queen then?
Personification that changed the original concept for the sake of the story.
More importantly, it's just a comic.
Yes, but it works best with the original BORG concept, before they introduced the queen.
The BORG was originally described as a collective, and a collective doesn't have rulers like a queen.
So I must admit I was a bit disappointed in the introduction of a BORG queen.
Still the BORG remain a very cool part of Star Trek.
To show that hack writers didn't get what made the borg cool and scary. They turned then into normal boring bad guys.

That actually makes sense. Thanks!

Also, someone's gotta handle all those supply requisitions.
You may have noticed there is more than one Borg queen. They take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week but all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting by a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs, but by a two-thirds majority in the case of more major decisions.
I'm 37.
Well I can't just call you "Borg."
You could say 3 of 7.
I didn't know you were called 3 of 7!
Well you didn't ask, did you?
I did say 'sorry' about the 'old robot', but from the behind you looked--
What I object to is that you automatically treat me like an individual.
Well I am captain!

Have to say I prefer the Queen over Trump/Vance.
At least she admits she's evil.
The borg dystopia is the best dystopia.
"Must be a king!"
"Why do you say that?"
"Well, he doesn't have shit all over him."

Silly federation kniggits.
Aquatic ceremonies are irrelevant.
