Well, some good points; the aliens aren't dumb clucks--they can reason...but how many aliens got wasted in that Sentry Turret O Death before they really caught on that it was futile and tried another route?

Mihail is right, though--if the aliens infest the cube, it's game over, man..."game over."

Yeah in that movie i think really more then 20!!!
But remember we have a lot of drones!! ANd in elite force 2 we have a borg boss but its not really cannon.
but in unimatrix zero, we saw trees flying at a borg and it smashed the borg into peaces but the second time a borg drone was looking with its lasers through booby traps and saw them, soo the borg will adape it too.
In DS9 we had special beams to track a founder, but it was a wide beam, do the borg would place them everywhere!! Phasers at maximum settings and boom vaporising the xeno. But if a drone is dead and a facehuggers comes at, the nanoprobes would be able do destroy then the creatures inside the borg drone?!

Only question is, like you say, whether the aliens would be too fast for them--but the Borg are part machine, compensating for physical sluggishness...they could set up a few sentinels with auto-scan for a given area, then as an alien comes within range, automatically engage a wide holding beam (since there will be lots of them) to freeze the critters for blasting.

--Excuse my lack of tech-babble :p

aliens are smart, they dont come all from the same direction, so you should be planting holding beams everywhere and there is not enough power for something like that, besides it may hold the first line but the other aliens just jump over it (aliens can jump huge distances) and smash the things to scrap:smack: and then they take the borg that are in the area and make more aliens.

Not really because they are 1) too big for nanoprobes to 'destroy' and 2) have acid blood so cant be asimilated.
And looking for traps is not relevant here as there are no traps just really fast aliens and borg have no fasers (correct me if im wrong) they have only disrupters and those cant be set to wide beam (correct me if wrong again).

yes, xenomorphs do NOT set up traps as such so there is no relevance there. Aliens DO, however, set ambushes, and they are very good at it (the ambush in Alien Resurrection was one of the best :p ) And disruptors even on wide beam (which is stupid) would still require a sweeping to hit a target unless you;ve got 180 degree coverage which would again, just be stupid, and an alien is good at evading both side-to-side as well as above-below the beam. Even if you set a perimeter the aliens would either evade and get through it, or quickly find a way to come in for the attack above or below their target. Not to mention aliens do have spitters by the way (again, Resurrection), they don't have to be able to touch you (tho they'd prefer to), they'll just splash you with acid.

And, once again, nanoprobes CANNOT be of any help agains xenoes

I KNEW IT! Aliens always win . . . unless Predator or Sigourny Weaver is involved :p

One alien = 10 drones, and that's One alien drone, the warrior aliens could rip a through dozens of drones at speeds which the borg could not even try to match, the only thing the borg could use to stop the alien infestation would be shields, but that can only help so much, as we saw in alien res. the aliens were smart enough to escape their cage, and learn the tricks of their human masters, all in all I don't think the borg have a chance in hell to defeat the aliens.

I think the Borg are perfectly capable of surviving this, just by repairing a section of the cube wreckage and closing it off; I don't see how hard it is to imagine them adapting technology to make auto-tracking disrupters to defend themselves, placing shields to close off access points, and modifying holding beams to activate whenever something moves down a corridor.

And they could grow themselves a queen.
And the Borg queen would sit down with the Xenomorph queen, perhaps over tea and biscuts, and work out a Treaty. :smokin:

Seriously, I think the initial statement is slightly flawed, IMO--how could the Borg not be able to fix their own ship? We've seen them repair their technology time and time again. Using their narley collective powers, they could fix anything.

Acidic blood once killed they will melt through the floor creating new places for the aliens to go, they obvisouly cannot be "Assimilated" for that reason, and even if the borg tried to "make them pets" it would be a remake of what happened to the race that created the aliens(space jocky) they were wiped out only thing left was the aliens in hibernation, aliens are the perfect thinking weapon.
