Introduction:
"Resistance... the final futility...
These are the voyages of the starship Borg Cube.
Its continuing mission:
to assimilate strange new worlds,
to raise the quality of life of new civilizations
and to boldly assimilate what has not been assimilated before..."
(Borg choir cuts in)

Episode #1:
Captain Borg enters the bridge... He announces: "I am captain Borg of
Borg ship. You will set a course for Earth at warp 8. Resistance is
futile."
(He sits down awkwardly.)
Ensign Borg: Captain!
Captain Borg: What is it?
Ensign Borg: A few Romulan warbirds are decloaking off the port
bow.
Captain Borg: We have no bow. We have a cube. Bows are futile. We
have six sides, which is more agreeable. We wish to enhance starship
navigation for all species.
(Ensign Borg nods approvingly)
Captain Borg: How many warbirds?
Ensign Borg: 3,145 ships, Captain. The whole fleet.
Borg One: I suggest we assimilate them, captain.
Captain Borg: Make it so. Tell them that it is futile to resist us.
Ensign Borg: Yes sir.
(The Romulans are instantly assimilated)
Captain Borg: Well done, ensign.
Borg One: Captain, all known Starfleet ships have arrived and
are currently attacking us.
Captain Borg: (checks his watch) Ok, time for some R&R! Borg One, in
my ready room.
(Borg One and Captain Borg enter the ready room)
Captain Borg: Earl Grey, hot.
Computer: Replicator is off-line.
Captain Borg: Why?
Computer: The attacking Starfleet ships have destroyed the main
replicator conduit.
Captain Borg: Engine room!
Geordi LeBorg: Geordi here, captain.
Captain Borg: Geordi, I can't assimilate my Earl Grey. Can't you
re-route the replicator's power through another conduit? It seems we
have an abundance of them.
Geordi LeBorg: Those conduits don't have that kind of capacity. There
would be too much resistance.
Captain Borg: But resistance is futile!
Geordi LeBorg: Not if you're not using a superconducer, captain.
Captain Borg: You're not? What _are_ you using, then?
Geordi LeBorg: two crocodile clippers and a piece of copper wire,
sir.
Captain Borg: That is likely to cause much resistance.
Geordi LeBorg: Indeed, to try that would be futile.
Captain Borg: Then just assimilate the attacking fleet outside. And
see if they have any tea.
Geordi LeBorg: Yes sir!
(Borg One and Captain Borg return to the bridge)
Ensign Borg: Captain! Starfleet has been joined by the Cardassians,
the Bajorans, the Vulcans, the Rakhari, the Q race, the Traveller, the
Maquis, a number of crystalline entities, a Doomsday Machine, the
Vidians, the Organians, the Bynars, Rieva, the Zetarians, the
Nausicaans, the Founders and some other races that have no distinctive
technological advancements.
Captain Borg: Prepare the assimilation process.
Ensign Borg: Prepared.
Captain Borg: Engage.
(a large sucking sound is heard.)
Ensign Borg: Assimilation complete, sir.
Captain Borg: Well done.
Borg One: Where to, sir?
Captain Borg: Let's see what's out there.
Ensign Borg: This answer does not compute, sir.
Captain Borg: Ok, ok... Have those two stars to the right been
assimilated yet?
Ensign Borg: Er, no sir.
Captain Borg: Then make it so!
