( PIC: " The Impossible Box")ĭespite his separation from the Collective, Borg drones that had never encountered Locutus, such as Third of Five, still referred to Picard using this name, due to Locutus' experiences remaining within the shared Hive mind. ( TNG: " Family")ĭespite this, he carried the trauma for years, with it nearly overwhelming him when he visited the Artifact. He returned to Earth, and paid a visit to his family in La Barre, France, where he eventually came to terms with the ordeal. Though his implants were removed and his wounds were allowed to heal, Picard's assimilation continued to haunt him.
( TNG: " The Best of Both Worlds, Part II") This access proved two-way, however, as the crew of the USS Enterprise-D was able to capture Locutus and use his link to disable and destroy the Borg vessel by sending the Borg cube a command to regenerate, which created a feedback loop that destroyed the cube and severed Picard's link to the Collective. ( TNG: " The Best of Both Worlds, Part II" DS9: " Emissary")Ī partially-assimilated Locutus of Borg in 2366 Picard's detailed information regarding Federation technology and strategy yielded the Borg a significant tactical advantage when Starfleet confronted the Borg cube at Wolf 359. Picard's assimilation allowed the Borg to acquire the whole of his knowledge and experience, as well as his own personal knowledge (a fact that was made apparent when Locutus addressed Commander Riker as " Number one"). Locutus' complexion is drained during the final stages of his assimilation in 2366 Interested in overseeing this event, she had intended for Picard to become her equal counterpart. The Borg Queen herself had been aboard the Borg cube where Picard had undergone his transformation into Locutus.
He may have had some form of individuality, as shown by his use of the pronoun "I". The Borg intended to use Picard as an intermediary, a spokesman for the Human race, in order to facilitate the assimilation of Earth so that the process would be as quick and efficient (or as perfect, from the perspective of the Borg Collective) as possible, with the fewest number of casualties on both sides.
