:45:01
I am the Borg.
:45:05
Greetings.
:45:08
I am curious,
do you control the Borg collective?
:45:12
You imply disparity where
none exists. I am the collective.
:45:16
I'll rephrase the question.
I wish to understand their hierarchy.
:45:22
Are you their leader?
:45:26
I bring order to chaos.
:45:30
A cryptic response.
:45:33
You are in chaos, Data.
:45:36
You are a machine
who wishes to be human.
:45:40
I am programmed
to evolve and to better myself.
:45:46
We, too, are on a quest
to better ourselves.
:45:50
Evolving toward a state of perfection.
:45:53
Forgive me, but the Borg
do not evolve, they conquer.
:45:58
By assimilating other beings we are
bringing them closer to perfection.
:46:05
Somehow I question your motives.
:46:09
That is because you haven't
been properly... stimulated yet.
:46:21
You have reactivated
my emotion chip. Why?
:46:27
- Don't be frightened.
- I am not frightened.
:46:39
- Do you know what this is?
- It would appear to be organic skin.
:46:45
What a cold description
for such a beautiful gift.
