Show Notes
Time Travel Choices
Why 2063? World War 3. Population. Booming warp drive economy.
Borg Fighting
Defensive strategies. Best weapons for fighting the borg: bats or sneakers?
Borg Origins
“Borgigins.” Transhumanism. Definitions of evolution.
Borg Behaviour/Design
Like ants! And maybe bees a little. But mostly ants! Comm techs. Bee-dance grammar.
Warp Drive
Alcubbiere drives, distorting space-time. Antimatter is expensive!
Goodbyes
The line must be drawn here. No farther!
