Second Borg

Efficient Adaptive Unemotional Technically proficient
The Second Borg functions as an adaptive Borg scout/drone that materializes immediately after the first intruder is struck, projects a localized force field to absorb phaser fire, interfaces with ship systems to drain power, scavenges components from the disabled drone, and dematerializes into ash. Methodical and unflinching, this agent converts a single breach into deliberate technological extraction, escalating the threat and forcing urgent tactical and ethical responses from the crew.
