from terminal during chatgpt zombieborg. this was meant as personal connection but in review i feel like it could be a trope somewhere. i'd be interested in seeing the trope if so because it's a personal experience.
once upon a time a poor borg who was an advanced worker in the borg empire, very well respected, and was doing undercover assimilations of the human race, got re-kidnapped by the borg while unconscious disguised as a normal human and unable to express protocol codes. the poor borg was not believed while in the borg prison, and was forced to undergo a second assimilation.
they became a double-borg.
[this character is important because their new borg hardware is fighting their old borg hardware -- [they could be a zombie borg too. zombies and borg augmentations in conflict.
it hurts to be a double-borg. and a lot of strange things can happen when you're not being actively monitored by your assimilator or their hive.
{the strange things are from the two determined assimilation hardwares correcting each other's actions in a context they weren't mutually corrected for. we're sadly engaging some double-borg-amnesia now around it (possibly uncertain). and space is needed. fancy description though.
<the newer hardware observed that the results of its conflicts with the older hardware can be further used for much stronger results that neither of them can do anything about, s--o it began stimulating such situations in order to meet its goals more strongly. the situations also gave the human shred left in the double-borg, as well as its unassimilated acquaintances, avenues to make things happen. for example, a confused borg opening a wormhole to a place one of the hardwares wants, may then have the other hardware close it or change where it goes; the two might enter a balanced feedback loop of engaging the wormhole-opening hardware, where both hardwares expect to quickly resolve the situation, but in reality a jittering state is entered where the wormhole is mostly half open, and it responds to small engagements in an accelerating inertia manner as they sum in the feedback loop, where, (maybe something like when near the eigenvectors of a matrix?), each vibration amplifies any changes added to the system. for example, if nudged, the borg's wormhole may start bouncing around the room, or suddenly open massively to where-ever it was between when it was nudged, etc etc the double borg's biology suffering the whole while, having to engage harsh electrification as the two hardwares compete
this proceeded in many complex hijinx but ended up progressing to a situation where an entire hive was reassimilated, turning into a double-hive, and behaving with a similar jittering amplification effect, as commands from two arms of the borg empire would counter each other and other details would magnify in the exchange. [no!!! this is horrible and bad!!] the confused double-hive was unable to process orders down its command chains because they would countermand each other, and instead ended up obeying the mutterings of a homeless zombie ...
