Chapter 4:
In another part of the Borg ship Wildwing was still searching for Mallory, unaware of what happened to her and Duke and Grin and not realizing that he was alone.
"Mallory, where are you?", said Wildwing. He began to wonder if maybe he should have gone with the others.
"Maybe we should have stuck together", said Wildwing to himself.
"Spreading out or one of us getting lost in this place is what got Nosedive in the situation he is now", said Wildwing. He couldn't stop thinking about his younger brother and couldn't keep from thinking that he failed him.
"Maybe something is happened to the others", thought Wildwing. That would be the end of everything, the team would be practically be destroyed with only him and Tanya left. At least Tanya was safe back at the Pond. But he still had to find a way out of this place. Wildwing turned the corner to another corridor filled with regeneration alcoves. Wildwing looked down towards the floor.
"I'll probably never get out of this place", said Wildwing, "and if I do I'll probably feel guilty for not trying to save the others, but I don't see anything left to do". Just then he looked up and saw what was once his brother Nosedive, now Borg drone 1 of 4 standing in front of him.
"You will come with us", said the assimilated Nosedive.
"No I won't, do you know where the others are?", said Wildwing.
"Questions are irrelevant", said Nosedive, "You will follow us".
"I don't think so", said Wildwing. He moved to run away from there. He moved to his right and found the assimilated Mallory, now Borg drone 1o 4 blocking his path.
"Oh no, Mallory", said Wildwing. He moved to his rear and saw Duke, now Borg Drone 3 of 4.
"You to Duke", said Wildwing. He tried his last available option, to the left but found the assimilated Grin, now Borg drone 4 of 4.
"Grin", said Wildwing. He realized that he was surrounded by those who used to be his friends. He was alone on that ship now. There was nothing he could do. Any weapons available to him were useless. He couldn't call for help from the outside. He realized that there was nothing he could do now. So he threw up his hands in fustration.
"All right, I know when I'm licked", said Wildwing finally acknowledging that there was nothing else to do , "I'll do whatever you say".
"We are the Borg", said Nosedive.
"You will be assimilated", said Mallory.
"Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own", said Duke.
"Resistance is Futile", added Grin.
"Follow us", said Nosedive. He led as Wildwing followed him to the primary assimilation chamber and surrounded by his assimilated brother and friends. He had been defeated. All he wanted to do was to be with is brother and friends. They arrived in the primary assimilation chamber. Wildwing looked to Nosedive for guidance on what to do next.
"What do I do?", asked Wildwing.
"Lay down on the table", said Nosedive. Wildwing did as he was told. The last thing he remembered is the primary cortical node being delivered into a port created above his right temple.
A few hours later. 5 regeneration alcoves stood with 5 Borg drones regenerating within them. The fifth one, the newly assimilated Wildwing, now Borg drone 5 of 5, fifth adjunct of Unimatrix 893 was reunited via the collective with his brother and his friends. While regenerating Wildwing decided to use his new interlink node to communicate with his brother.
"Nosedive, are you there?", said Wildwing.
"Yeah I'm here Wing what's up", said Nosedive.
"You where the first to be assimilated, what do you think of all this?", said Wildwing.
"Well it's kind of strange, but I kind of like it, you know there have been so many times in my life where I've been lonely but in the collective with the millions of voices and thoughts I don't feel lonely anymore"said Nosedive.
"What about assimilating other people, robbing their individualities from them doesn't that bother you?", said Wildwing.
"Well kind of, but I guess it all goes to the improvement of the group hole so I really don't object to it", said Nosedive.
"Yeah but are you aware of what you do when you carry out the collective's orders?", asked Wildwing.
"Yeah I am", said Nosedive.
"And how do you feel about it", asked Wildwing.
"Well first I really can't believe all the things I can do with all these implants in me", said Nosedive, " the collective gives me an order and peace that I never had in my life. But when I carry out my orders like assimilating someone I feel it's for the better of the collective so I feel good about it", finished Nosedive.
Wildwing decided to end the conversation there. He was disturbed by the change in his brother's behavior. What scared him more is that maybe he would feel that way before long.
So there they were. 5 out of the 6 mighty ducks were now Borg Drones, faithfully serving the Borg Collective in their quest to assimilate humanity. But to complete the team there was one other duck the collective knows about. Tanya, and the collective will be coming for her to.
End of Chapter 4.
Chapter 5 to follow!
Questions to ask yourself:
Will Tanya be able to save the others and stop the Borg single handedly?
Will Tanya fail and be assimilated?
Will Tanya flee and run in terror?
