Assimilation is a process that the Borg race used to reintegrate a being into the collective structure. The process is introduced by injecting nano-probes into one's neck using the drone's assimilation-tube. When the nano-probes are injected into one's body, they start to transform the body in a cell-by-cell basis. The process can be treated as an initialization procedure of a drone.
Assimilation Procedures
Assimilation is, in fact, a very complicated procedure, as are all recruitment procedures. Before finishing installing the nano-probes, the communication and interoperation infrastructure to the drone, it must go through at least 3 steps.
Step 1: Neural Pathway Rebuilding
The process is to analyze the memory and the consciousness patterns in the drone. The Borg is capable of assimilating at least 38 types of intelligent patterns into their collective consciousness. Each of them requires a specialized adapter to be implanted into the cerebral cortex, often referred to as a
