Hugh's newfound sense of individuality proved to be almost as deadly to the Collective as any file stored in his memory could be. Hugh agreed to go back to the crash site, and to be taken back into the Collective, to protect the Enterprise-D from harm. He offered Hugh asylum on board the Enterprise-D, but Hugh said that the Collective would not stop looking for him until they found him. Picard decided that he could not send Hugh back with the file that would destroy the Borg. Picard was stunned that a Borg drone would say such things.
When Picard said that this was irrelevant, Hugh specifically said that he (as Hugh used the word " I" rather than "we" his second use of a singular pronoun) would not assist in the assimilation of La Forge. When Picard told Hugh that La Forge would be assimilated, Hugh stated that La Forge did not wish to be assimilated. When Picard reminded him that resistance was futile, Hugh replied that resistance was not futile. Crusher, and other members of the Enterprise-D crew had had a profound effect on Hugh. Hugh immediately recognized Picard as Locutus, and Picard took the role of Locutus while talking to Hugh, to simulate the authority that Hugh was used to. Guinan's homeworld had been destroyed long ago by the Borg, but the fact that Guinan was still alive was proof of her lessons to Hugh. Guinan, who originally wanted nothing to do with Hugh, taught him that resistance was not futile. La Forge gave Hugh his name, through a mispronunciation of the word "you", and became Hugh's first ever friend. La Forge taught him that Humans did not want to be assimilated into the Collective, which contradicted what Hugh had been taught by the Collective. Hugh examines Livingston in Captain Picard's ready roomĪs Hugh spent more time with the Enterprise-D crew, he learned many things. Crusher did not agree with this course of action, because they were talking about exterminating an entire race – even if it was the Borg. He ordered La Forge and Lieutenant Commander Data to devise a method to destroy the Collective through an implanted program or file in Hugh, much as Data had done to a Borg cube through Captain Picard (as Locutus) two years earlier. Crusher eventually nursed him back to health, and Chief Engineer Geordi La Forge found a way to nourish the drone similar to the regeneration alcoves on a Borg ship.Ĭaptain Picard saw this as an opportunity to destroy the Borg once and for all. Where there had been millions of voices in his head, there was now only his own.
He had trouble adapting to his new environment, having been cut off from the resources of the Collective for the first time in his life. Upon arriving on the Enterprise-D, Hugh was placed in the brig and kept under guard at all times.
