Among the many advantages their collective consciousness affords them, the Borg hive-mind allows for near-instantaneous adaptations to shield and phaser frequency modulations in combat; they are also able to regenerate and repair their massive ships with the power of their collective thoughts alone. The hive-mind drones do not register as individual life-signs when scanned, only as a mass reading and then at a bare minimum. The sick and injured are not healed but "reabsorbed" by the removal of the receiver piece, which leads to self-destructive dissolve. When shipboard during dormancy in their regenerative mode, power is minimal and the vessel's EM field cuts off. They have a knock-out drug or procedure for humans, using a drill-tap placed behind the left ear, that works immediately but wears off in less than a minute. | Among the many advantages their collective consciousness affords them, the Borg hive-mind allows for near-instantaneous adaptations to shield and phaser frequency modulations in combat; they are also able to regenerate and repair their massive ships with the power of their collective thoughts alone.
