"BRAAAAAINS. YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED." Drone 37912b stared at the bionanite tube. "YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED, BIONANITE TUBE. YOU WILL SHAMBLE YOUR COMMUNITY AS A ROTTING, BRAINLESS CORPSE, ASSIMILATING THE BODIES OF OTHERS." The bionanite tube wasn't presently dispensing nutrients, but it was 37912b's primary source of sustenance, along with his four hundred sibling drones. Harming this tube was something that 37912b was completely incapable of thinking, let alone doing, and it was already very, very assimilated. It had probably been recently repaired using some of 37912b's very own personal biomatter. "BRAAAAAAAINS." A horrifying figure lurched into the pod, walking as if it had been disconnected from its hive's gait parameters for decades, its balance sensors long disconnected. "And how are you doing today, bobby? I'm looking forward to being assimilated!" [if u want, change name. It can be funny to overlap with other story, but it is probably over the top.] 37912b looked up at the fleshbag. "I am 37912b of the Zombie Cyborg Rennaisance. Bobby will be assimilated." 37912b could smell a delicious whiff of neocortex wafting from the lurching figure, and tried to release a cloud of nanites. "37912b to 3791xx, I am insufficient on nanites to resupply from environment. Please resupply." The lurching figure faded away briefly. "Bobby, this is 37912c Catherine. Nanite resupply."
36536q stared at these people claiming to be "family." "I don't? remember ... you ... no! I mean I don't? don't? don't?" 36536q started jerking spasmodically. "You remember us ...! You're trying to say you remember us ... ! I know it!" 36536q squirted a tear out of their eye and then suddenly froze, then started yelling, then stopped. The "family" had pulled back. 36536q looked at them wide-eyed. "I remember remembering you! I used to remember you!" 36536q's face was contorted and drawn. "You remember us! We're your family, Quentin!" "I don't want to kill you!" "Of course you don't!" 36536q suddenly got a dull look, and then sagged, limp.
so, I use my father's netflix login sometimes, and I searched for "borg virus" and "zombie cyborg" and neither have any hits, so I guess i'd better outline something really writing fiction is just about the last thing i'd ever do but life changes --- Multiple kinds of outbreaks. All the stories. Some old, some new. The various zombies and cyborgs collect together into one "spirit" : a changing group of patterns of wild ais and various disreputed forms of apocalyptic urges that find ways to symbiotically aid each other. Things could (eventually?) center around one "part" of that "spirit": individuals and lifeforms who have been or born subsumed, that have parts that act together. But there's room for all the stories.
