TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name
/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

What happens to the conscious experience of someone who is assimilated? Are they even aware of their actions during it? Is there some instance of someone doing that trope where they shake it off like mind control in an emotional scene? If not they might just black out completely for the duration.
Is the conscious mind of an assimilated person destroyed at some point or is it always able to be restored at some later time?
Aren’t Hugh (TNG) and 7of 9 (VOY) examples of this? 7 often contemplates her time as Borg, so she has memories of it. Also when Picard was Borg, he was ever so distraught but couldn’t do anything but Borgy things.
Personalities, or at least the strong parts of them are suppressed and essentially held in a zoo called a vinculum. The rest of the personality joins the hive mind and experiences harmonic bliss, while also being aware of the pain of extreme body modification. TBH it just sounds like dissociation.
