Episode 28 – The Covenant

"Were the borg created as a slave race to do the bidding of some ancient progenitor? Or are they the result of a highly technologically advanced society's attempt at utopia? Whatever their ancient origins, the borg claimed to have been seeking perfection for as long as any record of contact with them has survived. While their idea of utopia ostensibly involves the complete sharing of thought and experience at the expense of individuality, it is clear that individual drones, once separated from the collective, are able to access their own memories and begin to develop individual personalities in a process that is at once traumatic and completely natural.

"On separation from the collective, individual drones experience severe withdrawal symptoms combined with an intense desire to return to the intimacy of the collective. These withdrawal symptoms, accompanied by severe clinical depression, can last for several weeks – even years – and can be fatal. For the returned, the recurring desire to subsume their individuality once again into the collective apparently never goes away. But the returned almost invariably come to treasure their independence and will fight for their freedom even more fiercely than those who have never been assimilated.

"The question remains about the borg experience and those few drones we have rescued from it: Have we rescued them from a nightmare existence? Or have we pried them away from utopia?"

Admiral Kathryn Janeway – The Returned: Life After the Collective.
