Set during Voyager episode 'The Gift'.

A Borg sphere is thrown across the Delta Quadrant to Equestria thanks to an unkown event that also shifts Voyager out of Borg space, and crash lands on the planet's surface.

Witnessing this, Twilight Sparkle finds the mysterious metal ball that fell from the sky in hopes of discovering a new species, but the Borg are more interested in her magic than being friends.

Neat idea, good portrayal of the Borg. I'm curious to see what direction you take this.:twilightoops:

Thank you all for the comments! And double thanks to Neostar813 and Firebolt for the images! However, they're both cool enough to be the cover image... Argh! I can't decide! I'll think about it after some sleep.

I keep thinking back to the borg quote on STO 'YOU WILL BE BORG!

I love everything about this story.
Except for the fact the borg only assimilate humanoid species.
And even then, most are deemed unworthy of assimilation.

479159
You raise a good point, but these Borg are separated from their collective, so they would try to increase their resources in hopes of survival.

They also assimilated the ponies because of their powers. Pegasi control the weather without technology, which is impossible to the Borg. The Unicorns have magic, which they would find intriguing... And I have nothing for Earth ponies, but bear with me. All will be explained soon.:twilightsmile:

479302 Earth ponies have great strength and would make great tactical drones unicorns with there intellectual nature and magic could make great science and engineering drones and pegasi can make good tactical drones

479328
When you put it that way, it sounds better than my explanation. Since I've just seen the season finale, I know how this story's gonna go. As I said before, all will be explained soon.

MWA HA HA HA HA!:pinkiecrazy:

479486 awesome have you played sto the special drones are murder Tactical drones have overcharge plasma bolts and bolt spray they can over an area with plasma, medical drones have nanite infestation if you can't cure it in time you char is astimatied and turns on the rest of your allies, engineering Drones have borg shield drain weapons witch sap away personal shields, and over nasty borg tricks.

479580
Unfortunately, no. I've been thinking of getting Star Trek Online but things involving ponies have forced me away. But now we have a five month waiting period, I'll have plenty of time to kick some Borg ass:rainbowdetermined2:

479680 it's free to play now harly limited to the freebies like me

479811
Great! I'll go get it soon, but right now I'm defending myself from plot bunnies.

If you join STO, look me up. Name's "Capt. Rico Sakara Prower@captricosakara." I'm a vice Admiral already. If you want, you may join my fleet. My door/invitation is always opened. ;3

Anyways, I like how you wrote this, and I agree with the suggestions Firebolt gave. Pegasi and Earth Ponies would make kick-ass tactical drones. And the unicorns science drones.


Anyways, I can't wait to see how the Voyager crew handles this situation. Also, will they ever get Twilight out of the borg's collective, like they did 7 of 9? And what of the other Element Bearers? What they get assimulated, or will some escape and join Voyager's group to help save the planet? And if one of the survivors is Pinkie Pie, I have this suggestion: Put her with Tuvok! Her antics to try and get Tuvok to smile would be EPIC! :pinkiehappy:

If not, a reminder: Pinkie Pie Assimmulated as a borg = NO WIN SCENARIO. :pinkiecrazy:
Meaning, if she becomes borg, both side are screwed! :rainbowlaugh:

481877 I'm in a Brony fleet United Equestria Space Fleet Vice Admiral Lo'mesh Captain of the U.S.S Celestia Advanced Escort and when I get like 16000 more dilitum I can get my assault Cruiser

I'll be sure to look both of you up when I get the game.

Hmm, bringing Voyager into it... Pinkie and Tuvok... Elements of Harmony...

That's actually a brilliant idea! I'm going to go watch the entire season 4 of Voyager to get ideas (I'm lucky to have all 7 seasons on VCR). But I'm not promising anything yet, since I have most of this story sorted... Maybe a sequel?

Also, people are watching me... *looks under table to find someone watching him*. Eep:rainbowderp:

482043
I have a first-generation Odyssey-Class cruiser, U.S.S. Proteus N.C.C.-980403-J (NOTE: guess what film adaption that ship name comes from - the registry number is the key to finding out). My fleet team is called "Sakara-Heart." Right now, I just got done with getting the breen and Borg ship armor parts. And am saving up dilithium for Cryptic points.

482043

Anyways, thank you. That would be nice. I can try and help a little.

For example, if Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash are among the survivors that join Voyager's crew for help, wrap your minds around this little idea:

Pinkie Pie, Raindow Dash, Tom Paris, and Harry Kim joining forces to pull one of the biggest, epic pranks of all time on Tuvok after he get on their collective bad-side.

Also ideas:

-Pinkie Pie getting along with not just Tuvok, but she and Applejack would help Neelix in the kitchen and make a lot of wild sugary treats that would put Pinkie's famous cupcakes to shame.

-Twilight Sparkle (if they free her from the collective) getting along with Janeway as well as the whole crew, as they all "speak her egghead language."

-Fluttershy and Chekotey getting along, and helping fluttershy find her animal guide.

482254
Those are fantastic ideas! I don't know why anybody hasn't done a story like this before, the possibilities are endless! Already starting work on the next chapter.

482260 only problems with that the event that landed the borg sphere on equestria sent the two ships in different directions, and I think Janeway side it shaved like 3 years so that would mean that Voyager will have to travel for a couple of years AWAY from there course to Earth and second plothole is did Voyager even know they was being tracked by a cube who lunch the sphere to inspect the shuttle thrid and last little plothole Janeway is self righteous and Fallows federation dogma like a priest would a holy book so she will fly past equestria like it was not even there

483060
You make an interesting point, but I didn't say in which direction the shpere had been sent. It could be on Voyager's path, or in the oposite direction. The cube followed Voyager disguised itself as a sensor echo, or as background radiation, and the ship and shuttle were too busy being distorted at the molecular level to actually notice a Borg ship. And as for Janeway's dedication to the Prime Directive, my response is 'distress call'.

483788 even then Janeway ignore a world in distress I.E the planet made entirely of water

Actually, Janeway offers several different technological options to the government of the water planet to help them with their plight but they politely refuse. Janeway doesn't pressure them because of the Prime Directive.:twilightsmile:

I understand what Firebolt is saying here, but if that were the case, my only suggestion to get Voyager to Equestria is to have either Princess Celestia or Luna (whichever one is not assimulated yet) open a wormhole to their world, in Voyager's flight path. And once the story is over, Voyager would be sent back to where they were before the wormhole appeared. I'm sure somehow the two princesses can make it happen, since we don't fully know the extent of their powers. Either that, or Q/Discord does it for kicks.

I also have another idea for IF Twilight gets freed from the collective:
Twi would get REALLY obessed with the Doctor because he's a hologram, and she finds his artificaial nature fascinating. At first, the mane6 think he's some sort of ghost or spirit, but of course Pinkie Pie breaks the forth wall by saying, "silly fillies! He's a hologram! A projection made up of photons and force fields!" And everyone and everypony in the sickbay are like "WHAT?!" @__@ like how the hell does she know that? And she's like "I dunno. It's in the script?" XD

Also, I see B'Elanna Torres getting along great with Applejack, while Tom Paris teams up with Rainbow Dash.
And the Cutie-Mark Crusaders getting along with Naomi Wildman and causing trouble for 7 of 9 AND Tuvok! XD

484652
So many possibilities... Drowning in ideas... Must watch Voyager VCR episodes... Seriously, I need sleep, but ideas keep filling my head! I'm loving the Pinkie fourth wall breaker idea, Harry and Luna, Zecora and Tuvok, oh! Discord and Janeway!

Sod it. I'm in a good mood and I return to college tomorrow, or later today to be precise, so I'll put it up now instead of tomorrow. I probably will find less time to write this, but I will update at least once a week, and if I don't update for ten days, then my tutor has killed me. If that is the case, then please locate my dead body. I did a dodgy thing before Easter and now it's time to face the music.

Also, if I have written any of the characters wrong, then tell me. Practise makes perfect, as they say...

I have to say, this chapter isn't bad. If the whole mane6 get assimulated, I hope Voyager gets them out and frees them. There are some missing words, like when spike said, ‘This is my big chance! Time for the Spikeinator work his charms!’ you forgot "to", as in ‘This is my big chance! Time for the Spikeinator "TO" work his charms!’.

Other than that, the gramer is good, even if it needs some work, and the character's personalities are dead on.
I can't wait til Voyager comes in to save the day. Because that's what I want to read. And it'll be great to see Twi and the mane6 get freed from the borg and join Voyager, and have the characters interact like I described. Pinkie Pie's antics with geting Tuvok to smile would be pure gold. Same with her, Rainbow Dash, Harry, and Tom pulling pranks on him.

484895
Well, there are now two extra letters in the chapter. Thanks for spotting that! Maybe it's time to sleep if I'm missing obvious grammar and spelling errors.:facehoof:

nooooo don't stop the machine spirits.

40k lore all technology has "machine spirits" tech-priest thing.

I think I am going to have to read this given the avatar I made a while back, which is below in higher resolution (anyone who doesn't mind how crummy I added the borg implant is free to use it).

Ah, Warhammer, I think. My friend plays the game, but I've never been the one to collect models and paint them.

485004
Dude, awesome image! You have just nailed what Twilight was going to look like when-*the rest of this comment has been deleted to avoid spoilers*.

485029

I wanted to make her very Seven of Nine like since Seven of Nine and Twilight Sparkle are characters that I can really relate to. And Seven of Nine and Twilight both make for really good avatars so I figured I would combine them (kind of helps that they have some similarities to each other).

OK, I read it so far and I like how it is going (the characters are acting rather naturally other than I am not sure an assimilated Twilight would act like that (haven't watched enough Star Trek to know how newly assimilated borg behave let alone the full range of behavior not so recently assimilated borg are capable of)).

About Janeway and the Prime Directive. Undoubtedly she would notice that the ponies moves the sun and moon (well, two of them do it but large numbers of unicorns can do it together but haven't for some time), control their weather, and change the seasons manually; which are pretty advanced things to do. So while they don't use technology to do their impressive feats, they can still do them so they might be considered advanced enough to not be passed by due to the Prime Directive.

resistance is futile, you shall be befriended

476419 I'd stick with the second. The first is a bit scant on detail that draws the eye. Excellent concept... a grimdark I can enjoy simply for the concept and nostalgia.

Now what happens if Twilight gets freed... and how the buck would ponies do it?

Twilight as an instant borg queen is an amusing thought... really it is. What next? I must read more...

How exactly do you replace her legs if you're unassimalating her? o.o
Does she just sprout new marshmallow legs?

490577
How did they replace Picard's or Seven's on Star Trek?

Author's notes: I feel like this chapter was rubbish... hell I think this story is bad. I don't know why, but it jsut seems rubbish in my opinion. Still, you guys like it, right?

Anyway, Voyager reference at last! Some of you were desperate for Voyager to make an appearence and what better way to do so then via Pinkie's randomness. In my opinion, I think Pinkie is a juvenile Q in pony form, but then again I hate Star Wars.

Let me know of any spelling mistakes, errors, if its good or bad, etc. I really need a pre-reader...

I like this chapter but it seem to short, but I hope you continue.

499288
I will, and as a teaser, I'm going to start the first chapter of another sci-fi fic with ships and humans and some major misunderstanding. Don't know when I post it, but it will be some time before Minecraft for the Xbox is released, which is may 9th.

hmm... it IS a bit short, but that isn't unforgivable. Concept is good BTW, and don't you go sayin' otherwise.

499564
Sir yes sir!

Wait, what? I'm the author! I can say what I like about my fic all damn day! Which reminds me... Must make more chapters!

And now they're all fucked. :pinkiehappy:
