Aboard the USS Halcyon Sky:
Ensign Wedge: Sir, we're reading a major subspace broadcast directed across all bands, it's swamping all communication channels.
Captain Biggs: Source?
Ens. Wedge: Unknown, intensity is too high. It looks like it's coming from all directions. Report coming in on signal analysis. It's the young ensign goes a pale shade of white borg, sir.
Cpt. Biggs: WHAT?!
Ens. Wedge: Borg, sir. A sort of complex data stream. But it's apparently unencrypted. The translation shows its some sort of plan. Analysis has it feeding into the computer as we speak....Sir, Analysis has finished it's...the plan for their nanotechnology.
Cpt. Biggs: You're kidding me. The borg just handed their technological grail to us on a platter?
Ens. Wedge: It looks like it sir.
Cpt. Biggs: Hitting his comms badge Lieutenant Terra.
Yes sir?
Cpt. Biggs: I want you and your science teams working on that data we just received from the Borg, I want you studying their designs and learning all of their tricks.
Aye sir!
A week passes aboard ship, Lt. Terra makes a batch of nanoprobes and is testing it in one of the labs. The next transmission comes in.
Ens. Wedge: ...telemetry shows a mark 4.5 deflection off of...SIR Incoming Transmission, audio only, its the same as last week.
Cpt. Biggs: Put it through.
WE ARE THE BORG. YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE.
Cpt. Biggs: The HELL we will!!

Some people don't know what a pipe link is, so I'll say now that the joke is really from xkcd |
