OK . . . someone mentioned Aliens in Star Trek . . . well why not? Mix them with those Anti-Trill from the DS9 relaunch and you have a pretty good combo going.
I mean . . . I think an equal numbered group of aliens v klingons or Jem'Hedar . .. would, if able to get in range . . . kick far more ass then either humoid.
AvP onboard VOY.
Just for kicks, throw in Brannon Braga and Rick Berman as extras.
Now that would be fun to watch.Quote:

Strange that someone would say 'aliens and Trek'---
According to something I read about episodes of various (mostly NG) that never got made, one was a breakout of 'Regulan Bloodworms', which was orginally pitched as being inspired by the Alien movies.
I think it was shot down because it was very 'un-Trek'
mostly true story.

What . . . because it involves alot of subtrefuge and alot of needless ranged combat . . . guts and glory.Quote:

Nope. Don't see it at all.Quote:

Low Disrupt - Normal results, I would think, are to be expected. "Xinomorph dies, falls to floor."
High Disrupt/Disintegrate - POOF, no more bug.
Disruptors - being that disruptors function off the principles Shock, Thermal Dynamics, and Concussive Impact I'm not so sure you would want to use on on a Xinomorph. However at the lowest and highest settings results should be about the same as for a phaser.
Borgified Xinomorphs - Ewwww!
You asked if the Nano-tubes would be capable of piercing the exoskeleton Xinomorph. The answer: Most definitely. End result, Borgified puddle of acid. The problem with this is in the physiologic make up of the Xinomorph Drones. First, body fluids are under a decent amount of pressure. Second, the 'blood' of the Xinomorph reacts violently in the presence of oxygen resulting in a molecular level acid. (Yes I have researched the fictional Xinomorph species, as portrayed by Hollywood and Dark Horse Comics) Third, the primary method of nanite delivery is through forced insertion. This would result in the all too familiar acid bath. If the Borg adapted their assimilation to the species in question, i.e. transporter technology, I would say 'Yes, Xinomorph Borg Drones are possible'.

Dear Lord :eek:...I am a geek...:(
Hehe... Xinomorphs could be worth the effort for the Borg... a Xinomorph drone would be a very interesting combat unit, especially with nanites resisting acid : each time a Xinomorph drone spreads "blood", it sends lots of nanites around...
Maybe a good way for Borg to assimilate Xinomorphs would simply be to let some humanoid drones be infected... the 'morph would then emerge from the drone's chest fully assimilated. Now all they'd have to do would be to assimilate a Queen in such a manner, and voilą, lots of nifty ready-to-assimilate Borg eggs.
C5, you are evil (and a scene like that would be WAYYYY better than the one at the end of AVP).
And the 'regulan blood worm' ep wasn't about subtrefuge; it was basicly something more like John Carpenter's "The Thing': parasites infecting a crew of a ship, and how the boarding party gets out without being infected. Lots of phasers and running and trying to get a decent medical scan while the ship's auto destruct was counting down. No thought, just lots of terror.
It might have worked, but I can't see Picard doing the blood test thing like McReedy did.

Why not? It's a standard Starfleret Security test for Founder infiltration. Why not use it for other entities?
Okay, just to be silly:
Star Trek: Transformers.
Finally, a starship can be a member of the cast, too!
"Is that a Borg Sphere?"
"No, it's... UNICRON!!!"
