Continuing assimilation trials for Species 8472.

Nanoprobes working.

Assimilation… successful.

Receiving transmission from Unimatrix 02.

Cube 356 destroyed.

Gamma Quadrant assimilation continues to meet resistance.

Resistance is futile.

Adaptation required.

New biological and technological distinctiveness required.

Delta Quadrant assimilation must continue.

*in the realm of Fluidic Space…*

*the cube exploded*

*the device pierced the cube and severely damaged it*

*the tricobalt device neared the cube*

*the cube began draining power from the Starfleet vessel*

*the cube’s tractor beam latched onto the Yeager*

*the drone went down*

*the drone started squeezing his arm*

*the drone’s gaze does not avert, tubules sprout from its wrist and begin snaking in the air dangerously*

*the drone grabs his arm and looks up at him*

*the drone made no sounds of pain, it merely sputtered*

*the drone started to rise up*

*the drone was knocked forward as it had tried to stand*

*the drone adapted its shielding to the blunt force of the Jem’Hadar weapons*

*the drone’s cybernetic components are repeatedly sliced open or worn down, slowing the drone down immensely*

*she struck the drone’s weapon arm, sending a sort of cascade across is shroud that caused the drone to “flicker”*

*the drone was knocked against the wall and it’s shroud faltered momentarily again, it raised its weapon arm and fired a plasma ball at Ro, relatively weak due to being uncharged*

*the hit disoriented the drone for another moment*

*the drone released Aurora and stumbled to the side, it’s shroud faltering for a few moments.*

*a strong hand suddenly grabbed Aurora’s throat and slammed her into the nearest wall*

*the drone shrouds*

*it hit a weaker joint spot, slowing the drone down*

*it’s adaptive shielding took her first two shots, a third got through, but the Tactial Drone was equipped with thicker armor than its comrades*

*the drone starts turning around to counter him*

*the assimilated Jem’Hadar raises its plasma arm weapon towards Shayu*

We are the Borg. Your biological and technological distinctiveness will adapt to service our own.

Submit for assimilation.

Resistance is futile.

Your victory is impossible. Resistance is futile.

*the drones start going down in masse, each one whisked away by some kind of esoteric transporter device after they become inactive*
