Star Trek: First Contact (1996)

(from internet transcript)

BORG QUEEN: Why do you insist on utilising this primitive linguistic communication? Your android brain is capable of so much more.

DATA: Have you forgotten? I am endeavouring to become more human.

BORG QUEEN: Human! We used to be exactly like them. Flawed, weak, organic, but we evolved to include the synthetic. Now we use both to attain perfection. Your goal should be the same as ours.

DATA: Believing oneself to be perfect is often the sign of a delusional mind.

BORG QUEEN: Small words, from a small being, trying to attack what he doesn't understand.

DATA: I understand that you have no real interest in me. That your goal is to obtain the encryption codes for the Enterprise computer.

BORG QUEEN: That is one of our goals, one of many.









Star Trek: First Contact (1996)

(from internet transcript)

[Enterprise-E bridge]

PICARD: Commander Worf. I need to know exactly what's been happening.

WORF: We have lost contact with deck sixteen. Communications, internal sensors, everything. I was about to send a security team to investigate.

PICARD: No! Seal off deck sixteen. Post security teams at every access point.

WORF: Aye sir.

PICARD: Mister Hawk, before we lost internal sensors what were the exact environmental conditions in main engineering?

HAWK: Atmospheric pressure was two kilopascals above normal, ninety-two percent humidity, thirty-nine point one degrees Celsius.

PICARD: Thirty-nine point one degrees Celsius. ...Like a Borg ship. They knew their ship was doomed, our shields were down and somehow they transported over here without being detected. They'll assimilate the Enterprise, and then ...Earth. ...Picard to Riker. ...Enterprise to away team. ...Respond.

HAWK: Sir, the main control is being rerouted through main engineering. ...Weapons, shields, propulsion.

PICARD: Quickly, Mister Data. Lock out the main computer.

DATA: I have isolated the main computer with a fractal encryption code. It is highly unlikely the Borg will be able to break it.

WORF: The Borg have cut power to all decks except sixteen.

PICARD: The Borg won't stay on deck sixteen.









from my private journal, as me, Kerry Burgess, typed after being released from the USA Veterans Affairs psychiatric hospital enduring many months sitting in a grungy two-computer room in a homeless shelter on the waterfront in downtown Seattle:

by me, Kerry Burgess, excerpt from my private journal: 9/28/2006 6:50 PM

One day when I was in the gulag in Pioneer Square, there was a choir that came in and performed down in the cafeteria. It must have been a Tuesday because I think we had that weekly house meeting that day and they were still in there. I think they started during the dinner meal. It may have been around last Christmas. I remember thinking they had sure traveled a long ways to be there. Were they not from Princeton University??!!

9/28/2006 6:56 PM

I think it was this group. Whoever they were, they were very good.

by me, Kerry Burgess, excerpt from my private journal: 9/26/2006 3:06 PM

As I was trying to go to sleep last night, I had a thought that I have a doctorate in computer science from Princeton.

and I had thoughts that I studied music as well at Princeton.

War of the Worlds (2019)

Adam and Eve Plot: It turns out that all of the aliens are descended from Emily and Sacha's child. However, this is kind of inverted with the fact that the humans try to prevent this by going back in time. Also, unlike many examples it's a plot point that they have harmful mutations (though ascribed to Emily and Sacha having genetic disorders, realistically inbreeding alone would do it in enough time).
