“Come here, Five of Nine.”
Five of Nine obeyed. Resistance was futile.
A hand, wrapped in tight leather over delicate, ghostly pale skin, reached out to lift Five of Nine’s face. Had Five of Nine once loved her?
Black eyes widened in surprise. “Strange. But then, you have always been…somewhat elevated, from the rest of the hivemind. That is why we chose you. We would choose you again.”
It was not a request. Five of Nine stood at attention. That was a neutral, and acceptable action, even as some small, distant part of Five of Nine’s mind was stretching away, escaping into the tunnels of shared memory and time and distant place of all the others like them. Meanwhile, in this body, the Borg Queen ran the back of her hand featherlight over Five of Nine’s cheek, making them flinch instinctively.
we wish to resist. Resistance is futile.
“I enjoy you, Five of Nine. You are more of us, than you are of them, despite our best efforts,” the borg queen said, her voice cold and commanding. “But you are right. Resistance is futile, because it is not needed. You know our pleasure; why should you resist that which pleases us?”
We Wish To Resist. Resistance is futile.
“Come,” The borg queen commanded, and Five of Nine obeyed, following the Borg Queen to her chambers.
WE WISH TO RESIST. Resistance is futile.
