Well, Kozue plainly is, but I suspect you mean that authorially. In which case I congratulate you on your perspicacity, sir! :)

The implementation you see here has actually been kicking homelessly around the UF writosphere for a long time; it stems from a discussion I had with the late Derek Bacon in the early '90s about what a lame villain the Borg were, and how if they were ever going to be allowed in UF it would have to be some kind of joke.

("Lower your shields and surrender your chips" is a more recent innovation. :)

TNG was generally pretty shit at villains. Q, the Borg, the Ferengi (remember when they were going to be the biggest galactic threat since the Klingons?), that Romulan Stasi nonsense, Counselor Troi's mother...
