Simple question.

You are in random senario X and about to be over run with the Borg, your the only person around. There is no possible way of escape and the Borg drones are literally seconds away.

Do you put your phaser to your head and fire, death before drone. Or fight to the last, maybe killing a few more drones before becoming one of them.

No question from my point of view: I put my back against something, fire my phaser until the drones adapt, and then it's overload time. With any luck, the blast'll take some them with me.

Ditto. Go down trying to take as many down with me as possible.

Borgification is far worse than death, IMO. I'd rather not have my body mutilated and controlled by some other entity.

Usually I'd agree, but if that entity is the Borg Queen... 8)

Death. Well...death...but i dont know if i'd have the strength to actually go through with it.

Perfect. I second this idea, except I'd run into a crowd of them when the phaser was close to overload.

Count me in too. No way do I not only lose my individuality but have my identity stripped and disseminated among an anonymous collective - and FWIW, the death would be a 'honorable' one to whoever cares, and more practically a useful one in some small way.

I'm with you guys, take as many out as I can when I have the chance, and don't get borgified.

Death before Borg.

Hmm. 9-0. It looks like Borg propaganda about the benefits of assimilation are somewhat unconvincing to DITL.

10-0 now, wow, really unconvincing. lol

We should have that as a weekly poll sometime

well, since it's been stated the Borg assimilate populations not just any group of people, I might be safe...

...however in the spirit of the question, I'd grab a couple phasers and beam over to the Borg ship as close to their central plexis as I could. I'd set one to over load and the other I'd leave so I can shoot any borg that come near me, hopefully I can take down the whole cube!

Basically, everyone would go down fighting. lol

Go down fighting, but make sure to save one last blast for my head.

of course, no one wants to be a borg.
