The Borg are like a sentient Amoeba. They wander around content to go where the galactic winds take them until they find something interesting with sufficient genetic and technological diversity, attack it head on with no sophisticated tactics or effort, merely throwing waves of attack drones at it, adapting until it can't fight back and absorbing it. That really is what they are, they're a semi-sentient high-tech amoeba. Their "Intelligence" is raw capacity and no cunning.

There’s also a third ‘magic’ Harry you forgot about - Houdini. Although I suppose if it was him the Borg would’ve been calling because they couldn’t find him after he managed to slip the restraining forcefield they put on him. 😜
Time travel has been a part of Star Trek and the Harry Potter series, I don't know if it's been in the Dresden stories but wouldn't be surprised. With time travel being a thing Harry Houdini turning up isn't impossible.
@@lordofuzkulak8308 Sure, besides, it's a multiversal company. Maybe in some 'verse, Harry Houdini is an immortal (of Highlander franchise or similar), or a wizard who faked his death (and then prolonged his life using magic, changing his identity), or a vampire, etc. ;)
Borg and Predators should be banned from dimensional travel. They don't seem to understand that even if they are among the biggest threats in their respective universes, in most sci-fi/fantasy universes their power level is below average. For lack of a better word, they would be/are tutorial enemies at worst, and trash mobs at best. As long as they don't understand that, no more dimensional travel!
At least the Predators understand the concept of improvement. Unfortunately for them, they'd need to get some more esoteric aspects and that might just feel like cheating to them.
@@VelociraptorsOfSkyrimto your common, honor code driven predator clans. Bad Bloods would love any improvement they can gain from borg, probably exchanging some tech in the process. If a bad blood can use xenomorphs to destroy his enemies, I wouldn’t put it past him to become allies with the borg. This dishonorable alliance would probably be undertaken by a few super predator clans to achieve tech to match their strength and cunning in combat so that those who follow the code are crushed by their might.
If you can get a Yautja out of hunting mode for five minutes and get them to level up, they could become a major threat anywhere. As things stand, they think the bigger fish are just playgrounds.
Good news for the borg, the fire suppression system will work against the fires Dresden caused. The books make a point that while it is created through magic, once created, it works the same as regular fire, which means that it needs oxygen and fuel to keep burning. So, yes, the fire suppression system will still work on extinguishing it. On a side note: in one of the stories, Dresden uses physics to create an ice spell by using fire magic. He casted a massively powerful fire spell, but to do so, it had to draw nearly all the heat from the area around it, freezing the ground in the process.
The fire suppression system will indeed take care of it… once it's back online. And since John said that, we know it did in fact go offline thanks to Harry's general hex aura (or possibly even deliberate hexing). But, since the fire is not magical per se (…unless he jumped straight to infusing it with Soulfire, but even Dresden isn't normally that reckless) the good news is that it won't itself keep the anti-tech effect going when Harry isn't actively sustaining it, so the suppression should come online eventually. Regarding that ice spell: he _could_ have made a blaze that big without also producing a huge freeze, but it would have cost him a hell of a lot of energy (possibly to the point of needing to draw on his own life) to do it. It's just so much more _efficient_ to move energy around than it is to create it out of nothing. This is also the reason real-world heat-pumps such as are found in air conditioning or refrigerators are so efficient.
That depends upon if it's normal fire or the hellfire/soulfire "upgrades" he had at avarious parts because that's going to be a lot harder to deal with.
The problem with assimilating magical beings is that even if you do that it may not work cause magic has a lot of esoteric rules and doesn’t follow the laws of physical reality and sense. You could have a wizard assimilated, but magic may not work cause magic itself does not see the mage as one anymore.
I'd enjoy seeing one about fae calling up because they are trying to steal the names but their target is a borg cube, and how John would deal with that as to not give HIS name away at the same time
Man, the Borg really is neck and neck with the Predators. At least the latter has the decency to die quickly, the borg are just that roach you can never fucking kill and multiply faster than rabbits.
@@sojus7929borg probably wins. Yauja only tend to hunt in small groups at most and their standard tech seems to be relatively on par in fights, so the borg probably win due to sheer numbers.
It's heartwarming, and a little depressing, to know that most of my minions are smarter then the Borg Collective. At least the vatrats know how to check the 'Are We Screwed?' cards in their pockets when encountering unknown hostiles. It helps that they're color-coded. Maybe the Collective should upgrade off their Apple-II bullcrap and get something that can do colors for JUST these kinds of situations!
Dresden's fire magic can be doused by a water sprinkler for two reasons. 1. Once he has set it loose, it behaves like normal fire. 2. Running water can drain magic away from mortal practitioners. So, putting him in a waterfall will neutralize his powers temporarily.
Uh, Dresden is a problem of multiple levels. the murphyonic field of his is a problem, his penchant for throwing flame (and now Ice) around is pretty bad, but MAB might have a thing or two to say about anyone abducting her Knight.
If your magic system is one in which spells are powered by the caster's heart, emotions, or will then assimilating one will be useless since drones don't have any of that. If your magic system is based on precise equations and the processing power/intelligence of the caster... Yikes, that's gonna end even worse. The hive tries to cast a level one fireball and vaporizes itself when the massive processing power of the entire collective turns it into a blast that makes a warp core breach look like a firecracker.
Usually when they're based on precise equations, the caster provides the intelligence like a chemist or programmer. You still need the actual chemicals or hardware or to actually write the code.
Warning lore dump since my settings a Complex SciFi fantasy fusion setting (and it's at base Multiversal. My settings main magic system is based on extra dimensional energy using a casters mental framework as a base structure but technology can be directly adapted to harness it if the Borg got their hands on that tech let's just say they may be the ones on the end of being assimilated since currently the only faction with access to such gear has ai running all its facilities (which are based on human consciousnesses ripped out of the body by technology and lobotomized into loyal AI Contained in a crystal core (the crystal itself is technically for dimensional bleeding into the 3rd dimension mirroring the science of souls in my setting) and let's just say the moment they get attacked about ten other factions are getting speed dialled and one of those factions leaders is capable of moving at beyond infinite speed (moving in absolute zero time so he can be anywhere in the multiverse at a moment's notice) and he'd be interested in the foreign technology of the Borg enough to add them to his collection long enough to reverse engineer the tech and hook it into his mainframe and a doubt the borgs hive Mind will be able to fight a being with essentially infinite knowledge (the mainframe is a living being who's physical body is kept in a state of perpetual sedation at their own request because their unique power causes their brain to receive so much data that it effectively causes their entire nervous system to begin firing full force
And some wizards actually require mana or something to cast so they would need to absorb a large amount to magic people just to run the logistics of having a unit that requires an additional, undiscovered power source to perform.
Yeah, I can see them being able to assimilate Mistborn, potentially, but I can't see them being able to do much with Knights Radiant, due to those requiring an adherance to oaths and bonds with spirit-like beings called Spren.
Funniest thing to me. Both of their magic systems break technology. And they don't have to have a foci to use their magic, it just helps focus it. So end of the day it doesn't really matter which Harry they have, they need to get them off the ship pronto.
Ha! I'd forgotten that Dresden is basically a walking EMP. That said, Borg need to remember that transporter stasis is a thing...but they wouldn't be calling John if they hadn't already done something dumb.
*Please pardon me as I nerd out for a bit:* The Borg need to find a fictional setting that runs on GURPS and uses its standard Magic system. *Why?* 1) In _The Dresden Files_ setting and, to a lesser extent, in the _Harry Potter_ setting, magic doesn't play nice with modern technology. 2) While you (usually) need the Magery trait to cast Spells, said Spells are handled as "Skills" e.g. you study them to learn them. Which is true in many settings, but... *(Strap in, this is about to go long)* ...the way GURPS models this, as well as ways they've modeled hiveminds and cyborgs in other settings is quite _exploitable_ in GURPS. Normally, what balances out Spells in GURPS is that you... A) ...usually have to have a trait called "Magery"; in some settings this is rare, in others it is easy to get. I think the Borg can find a way. ;) B) ...have to perform necessary motions and/or say necessary words to cast the Spell. *However,* the higher your Skill level, the less of a ritual you need; sufficiently Skilled mages just seem to stare off into nothing for a split second. C) ...have to pay an Energy cost. *Again,* high skill can reduce or even eliminate this cost. There are ways to _share_ this cost as well. D) ...have to know all prerequisite Spells. *Example:* Ignite Fire => Create Fire => Shape Fire => Fire Ball => Explosive Fireball *The Borg most likely have a trait called Modular Abilities,* as a side effect of their Collective nature. _I think:_ I should mention now, I lost my passion for Star Trek in the early 2000s, so I could be remembering wrong, or it could have changed. If it does work this way, also know that Modular Abilities is a complex trait: what I'm about to suggest isn't even exploiting it to its fullest... but that also means it costs fewer Character Points to include for a character (GURPS has you build character by spending CP). *Anyway,* using Modular Abilities to model swappable Skills means individual drones _don't_ have to study magic. So long as they have Magery, they can download the needed Spells from the Borg's collective memory/database/whatever-it-is to use them! Also regular Skills as well, hence why Borg seem so omniproficient much of the time. The drones likely - this is _all_ speculation - don't even have to stick to _specific_ Skill Levels for the Spells. Even if the database has the Skill Levels of master mages recorded in it, as much or as little of that knowledge can be stored in the drone's individual mind, to tailor its own Skill level. This can be valuable for "saving" memory space by learning prerequisite Spells to the minimum applicable level, while maxing out space for the Spell that matters most! Indeed, *that's part of the Collective's strength:* they collective mental resources can calculate an _optimal_ spell loadout for any given situation. If a prerequisite Spell is _also_ useful, no sense skimping on it! Oh, and some parts of the Collective can be assigned to constantly practice and expand the Collective's Spell database. *What about needing Magery?* That comes to the _second major exploit._ Instead of focusing on being _faster_ for casting in battle or other circumstances where you need to act fast, when you have extra time, you can go for a "ritual" casting. Some Spells have such massive Energy costs, this is the only way to really cast them effectively. These kinds of Spells can also have crazy effects. Even some small spells are scalable; instead of the usual _small_ effects, you can throw high amounts of Energy at it to get similarly massive results! Non-mages can contribute a little Energy as well, but the main point I want to make is one of the Spell Colleges (collections of related Spells) is the Enchantment College. This is how you permanently imbue magical effects onto things... not just inanimate objects, but even living organisms, undead creations, animate things like golems, etc. So, not only could we potentially power-up even non-mage Borg members... there's an Enchantment called "Great Wish". *It does about what you think it does: granting a "big" wish!* There are limits, but one of the things it can do is grant a level of Magery to a non-mage. It would take a lot of time, maybe even sacrificing the lives of many Borg drones (to reach the needed Energy requirements), but *this convoluted plan could eventually result in a fully magical Borg collective.* Though I'd recommend actually creating some Borg who are mages, some who are "Magic Resistant", and some that are just normal, magically neutral Borg. Because magic can be fickle and capricious. ... The *scary* thing is that this mess popped into my head almost instantly. I spent too long typing it up, but seriously, this is how my mind works. Or doesn't work. >.>
The moment he verified it was Dresden he should have advised them to disconnect from the rest of the collective; otherwise you could kiss the entire collective good bye. Potter though, well you have a weaponless cube for a bit.
Maybe they use SI (or another system entirely) but find the minor calculations necessary to present in Imperial to be more efficient than waiting for John to process numbers in units he isn't familiar with.
"What's the problem? Okay, I'll give you a solution, just don't do the thing-- you did the thing. And now the problem is worse." Also, assimilating Potter might result in a net _loss_ for the Collective: he's not very knowledgeable in magical _or_ mundane subjects (Hogwart's education/Dumbledore's fault), the majority of his powers require items he doesn't always have to hand, and his physical attributes are stunted and subpar at best (owing to abusive/neglectful childhood, and constant injuries and life-threatening events during said 'education').
"Was there a girl with him?" "OK. She may try to follow you to get him back, but just don't try to assimilate her as well." "Because as much problems as I have to deal with since taking on you guys; I have nowhere near the time or patience to deal with the amount of hassle and paperwork that a Borg Queen Granger would bring into my life. Just don't even think about it." *Shudders in borg Deadpool flashbacks
Depends on which part of the timeline they snatch Potter from. I assume the Potter who is the head of the entire Auror Department and especially the version that became Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement is significantly more knowledgeable -- very useful.
@AFiltiarn I thought Harry stopped at head auror whereas Hermione earned the magical law enforcement department title and used it as a springboard to become minister of magic? Unless I'm wrong which I could be because I have actively forced myself to forget most of the stuff JKR has tweeted out since the series ended
1:47 - well they could both have the same one in a sense; eg, one could have book Potter and the other could have film Potter. And a third could have Daniel Radcliffe the actor because I get the feeling that the Borg would struggle with the concept of acting. 😝 Also, the Borg have time travel, so they could easily have picked whichever Harry it is from different points in his personal timeline.
Wild to think that, since the Potter-verse has anti-tech / anti-electricity magic (such as around Hogwarts), they could potentially be capable of defeating the Borg.
The book say that large amounts of magic just make technology fail-ish, so there is a good change even if they manage to assimilatie a wizard their magic may not even work
@@SaM-us9gk but Potter can interact just fine with technology, as he does have to live with the Dursleys. The stuff around Hogwarts is just… YEARS of protective spellwork and being reinforced snd rewritten over time. No wonder that would mess with tech. One little wizard isn’t going to make things stop just by being there. Dresden, though… yeah. He’ll make things fail. Catastrophically, too!
@@icarusbinns3156 I don't mean that the entire Borg cube would fail because of one Harry Potter wizard, I mean that that wizard once assimilated probably can't use magic anymore.
Why is it that the most idiotic clients wait until Christmas to drop this sort of crap on the poor sods who are covering the holiday shift? Honestly, there should just be a recorded message directing them to the FAQ.
Me: Hey John. I’m wondering if your company can acquire two items for me. The items? The Carnage symbiote, and a gremlin(the crazier the better). I’m hoping the symbiote will negate the effects the sun has on gremlins. If it works I’m dropping them in the middle of the Iceberg Lounge. That’ll teach Penguin not to double cross me.😈
Reading the comments, *I had another idea.* A series of videos showing how John's advice helped baddies win and win bit. *Not just with the canon we know:* since the multiverse is a _thing_ for these videos, John can even explain why he tries - seemingly in vain - to help the Borg, the Yautja, etc. make better choices. *Because John's already helped them win **_big_** in other realities,* in ways that paid off for Villain Support. *Possible examples:* The Yautja not only having the common sense to avoid _impossible_ hunts, but even showing discretion where victory is _improbable._ That list of targets *not* to hunt? It really is a list of targets not to hunt _yet._ Some version of the Yautja have already had those hunts, finished them successfully, and loved every minute of it. Ours just keep trying to tackle the final boss while they're still in the tutorial. XP The Borg having assimilated everyone/thing they could in their own universe, and branching out into others. *What about the Q Continuum?* That's part of why they're branching out; to keep the Q entertained so they don't get bored and be all "Yeah, we should intervene after all..." And my personal favorite: *Dragon Ball - A Cultivated Timeline.* While you still need something resembling a canon timeline, as otherwise your knowledge of the possible future suddenly becomes knowledge of an _impossible_ future, there's still so much that could be done working within the boundaries of what we have and know. General improvements to the Earth of Dragon Ball, so that it is still "backwards" enough that Freeze doesn't rush in to claim or destroy it _but_ so that Goku and company have to push themselves a little harder to rise to the top. Discourage _everyone_ from wastefully killing their foes, or at least, key foes... *Think of the **-merchandising-** mercenary work Villain Support could use them all for!* Some of the video games for Dragon ball have hit on parts of this. The Red Ribbon Army operatives Goku killed? More "volunteers" for Dr. Gero's experiments. Commander Red is a joke, and yet not a total joke: *look at the organization he built!* Don't waste him on a Gero cyborg; once he loses to Goku, rescue him from the brink, put him into middle management with the promise of advancement - and Pym particles - to keep him loyal and hardworking for Villain Support. _Pym Particles?_ Once someone is _removed_ from the Dragon Ball multiverse, look for something controllable they'd want that Villain Support can supply. Commander Red is a short guy who wanted the Dragon Balls to wish himself _tall_ (not to take over the world, like his subordinates thought). While Pym Particles (from Marvel) are usually used to help one shrink, they can also be used to make someone grow... but the change doesn't seem to be permanent.
Another good character for the Borg to grab from the Dresden verse would be Donar Vadderung (As the CEO of the most technically advanced corporation on that world) the only question being after grabbing the would he go all pre-christmas Kringle on them and summon the wild hunt as he hunts them down or would he go Odin on them and unleash Einherjaren, Valkyries, and his Crows on them. Either way the terror filled screams would eclipse what happened when the borg approached Asteroid M in Universe 616.
You guys have stated in the dementors vs Harry Dresden that Potter only has one offensive spell, but really, he learned a bunch of spells for the final Triwizard task. If he's loose on a Borg cube (and he's 5’6”) he's got Reducto, Stupefy, Levicorpus, Sectimsempera, Imperio and Crucio, that he's used in the books. He can also transfigure objects and organisms, repair objects... Let's say he's near the outer part of the cube and there are multiple Borg. Harry can cast a sticking charm on his shoes, cast Reducto on the hull then cast non-verbal Reparo after the Borg have been sucked into space.
And he might have learned the bubblehead charm by now, too, since he saw how useful it was. He also can cast a firespell, and who knows what potions he might have on him if he has actually started Auror training.@@awolf876
I can see a lot of Dresden grade hexes being thrown around. Could be worse, though. The LSH's White Witch knows a 'minor spell of disassociation' that makes cyborgs fall apart.
I wrote a fanfic rewrite of the last Voldy v. Potter. I gave Harry a more assertive soliloquy and when Mouldywarts tried to Avada Kedavera him, Harry just smirked at Kingsley and cast a no-look Expelliarmus just for the cool points.
No kidding. Humans in that verse use the Big Bang as an assault rifle and used time travelers as big brother enforcers and were still cavemen by comparison. Hope ACME has some good countermeasures.
@@travisbishop782 yeah, you think 40k throwing millions to even billions of soldiers through a meat grinder with shit equipment is edgy? The ICAG is throwing billion to even trillion and more of child soldiers with little to no training and equipped with guns the power of the Big Bang and black holes in pistols and assault rifle and many more batshit insane tech like time travel in desperation at an enemy that doesn’t even consider them equals and nothing more but ants and vermin and largely ignored them for the majority of the war because they are just that beneath them.
Funny thing is, the suppression system probably would work on Harry's fire, but only after he's cast it. Then it's just regular fire and hence obeys regulars physics of fire. One of the nice things about Dresden's magic system is Physics still get a say in how things go down.
Yeah, i can only imagine the number Dresden's anti-tech chaos factor would do on anything from the Trek universe. Remember, it's pretty much alpha canon that every species relies on integrity fields to keep their ships in one piece, so right there it's gonna be a big problem. Not even sure the Borg's nanoprobes could last long enough to assimilate him. As i recall, the magic smoke ran screaming from Murphy's laptop after just a few keystrokes, and that was with him doing everything he could to suppress it.
The Borg don't strictly need atmospheric oxygen. If they'd _known_ who they were up against they could just have vacuumed out most of the Cube, or filled it with inert gas, or something. Unfortunately for them, they are both foolish and ignorant.
"I can't believe two of you are doing this at once." John -- don't lie. We both know this is just another Tuesday with the Borg at Villain Support. lol
I'm just waiting for them to do something like attempt to assimilate Grimlock from Transformers...there's been quite a few custom figures made with him that had an assimilated version. He's also dense enough that the Queen ends up deposed by the sheer mental brick wall that is that a dinobots brain.
"I'm not sure I've magical fire would be affected by fire suppression systems" Harry, on multiple occasions, has put emphasis on the "magically created fire is still fire" when it comes to the physical properties of his fire spells.
"Where Chaos Reigns" a D&D module where the characters have to deal with a futuristic race called the Oord. I don't know for sure if they are the inspiration for the Borg that first appeared in TNG several years later, but the resemblance is uncanny.
Rivers of London version: "Is the guy, mixed race? Does he wear a really clunky wind up watch? Has anything vaguely electronic suddenly just died? For God's sake get him off the cube before a black woman in her 20's and a bloke in a Saville Row suit turn up or you're really screwed."
I was gonna complain about how short this video is... But honestly with how it ended with him STILL TALKING is fairly accurate because this conversation honestly would probably go on for another couple of hours..... I'm a field tech that has been on the phone with Verizon, trying to fix a router issue and nearly losing my mind about three hours into the work order....
@@villainsupport True! But it usually ends with John complaining about listening to the destruction of the Cube. I was just worried it was an uploading glitch. :)
The moment they woke Dresden they lost, his existing around the cube just made it a deathtrap. I'm kind of surprised they didn't start reporting unexplained deactivation of drones immediately 😂
I didn't read the series properly yet so I might be wrong but isn't Harry Dresden a walking Technobane to machines ? Like his mere magical presence insta-fries any electrical devices in the area ?
Yes any magic user (other than the fae or those being like them) emit a field that messes with tech. Harry has shown he is able to 'somewhat' controll it with concentration, but it still isn't good especially with more advanced tech. It would very a wonder the Borg were even able to be around him and still functio .
@Kaito57 the borg are a group of technologically advanced people that have formed a hive mind. They fly around assimilating other species into their numbers in the pursuit of perfection. They capture people, basically wipe their personalities and implant a bunch of tech upgrades into the people.

It’s called arrogance they have the intelligence without the wisdom to use it properly
The Borg are like a sentient Amoeba.

Still better than the predators…most days anyway.
The borg collective, as a whole, is incredibly intelligent. Individual drones, or small numbers of them? Not so much
Just like the Yautja…
Even funnier is that Harry Dresden has either watched or knows about Star Trek, so he would know what the Borg are already.
And as such, he would know _exactly_ how much trouble he is in, being on a spaceship that relies on forcefields for maintaining pressure.

So, yes, the fire suppression system will still work on extinguishing it.

Assuming the fire suppression system is still functional and not requiring a digital/electrical trigger.
The fire suppression system will indeed take care of it… once it's back online. And since John said that, we know it did in fact go offline thanks to Harry's general hex aura (or possibly even deliberate hexing).
But, since the fire is not magical per se (…unless he jumped straight to infusing it with Soulfire, but even Dresden isn't normally that reckless) the good news is that it won't itself keep the anti-tech effect going when Harry isn't actively sustaining it, so the suppression should come online eventually.
Regarding that ice spell: he _could_ have made a blaze that big without also producing a huge freeze, but it would have cost him a hell of a lot of energy (possibly to the point of needing to draw on his own life) to do it. It's just so much more _efficient_ to move energy around than it is to create it out of nothing. This is also the reason real-world heat-pumps such as are found in air conditioning or refrigerators are so efficient.
That depends upon if it's normal fire or the hellfire/soulfire "upgrades" he had at avarious parts because that's going to be a lot harder to deal with.
Yesish. Once he starts using soul fire it'll burn anyway tho.
Harry Dresden in a hospital is his nightmare - in a Borg Cubes it's an inferno 😮😅
What would have been really funny is if both of the characters were both name Harry but neither of them was Dresden or Potter.
The problem with assimilating magical beings is that even if you do that it may not work cause magic has a lot of esoteric rules and doesn’t follow the laws of physical reality and sense. You could have a wizard assimilated, but magic may not work cause magic itself does not see the mage as one anymore.
Imagine kidnaping a man thats a technology repelent to a spaceship thats made of technology
I'd enjoy seeing one about fae calling up because they are trying to steal the names but their target is a borg cube, and how John would deal with that as to not give HIS name away at the same time
How do you know John's name is really John? 😋
Dude, John works Villain Support. Of COURSE he uses an alias!
"The cube was on fire and it was definitely my fault"

Man, the Borg really is neck and neck with the Predators. At least the latter has the decency to die quickly, the borg are just that roach you can never fucking kill and multiply faster than rabbits.
I do wonder though, what would happen if the Borg decide to assimilate the Yauja?
@@sojus7929borg probably wins. Yauja only tend to hunt in small groups at most and their standard tech seems to be relatively on par in fights, so the borg probably win due to sheer numbers.
My man needs a raise. Multiple raises even.
It's heartwarming, and a little depressing, to know that most of my minions are smarter then the Borg Collective. At least the vatrats know how to check the 'Are We Screwed?' cards in their pockets when encountering unknown hostiles. It helps that they're color-coded. Maybe the Collective should upgrade off their Apple-II bullcrap and get something that can do colors for JUST these kinds of situations!
"Being beaten by Harry Potter hurts. Just...that one hurts."
The borg and the yotja are the punching bags of the multi-verse
Dresden's fire magic can be doused by a water sprinkler for two reasons.
1. Once he has set it loose, it behaves like normal fire.
2. Running water can drain magic away from mortal practitioners. So, putting him in a waterfall will neutralize his powers temporarily.
3. It's a lot more hassle than it's worth, kick him out... NOW!
@@month32 what does that have to do with how his magic works?
@@karsten69 Everything really. He is that dangerous to the Borg BECAUSE of how his magic works.
@month32 but what does that have to do with fire sprinklers? I never mentioned the Borg, all I talked about was how his powers worked.

i love the longrunning joke that harry potter only knows one combat spell but h4e's so good with it that he's a menace for bad guys
Uh, Dresden is a problem of multiple levels. the murphyonic field of his is a problem, his penchant for throwing flame (and now Ice) around is pretty bad, but MAB might have a thing or two to say about anyone abducting her Knight.
If your magic system is one in which spells are powered by the caster's heart, emotions, or will then assimilating one will be useless since drones don't have any of that. If your magic system is based on precise equations and the processing power/intelligence of the caster... Yikes, that's gonna end even worse. The hive tries to cast a level one fireball and vaporizes itself when the massive processing power of the entire collective turns it into a blast that makes a warp core breach look like a firecracker.
Usually when they're based on precise equations, the caster provides the intelligence like a chemist or programmer.
You still need the actual chemicals or hardware or to actually write the code.
Warning lore dump since my settings a Complex SciFi fantasy fusion setting (and it's at base Multiversal.
My settings main magic system is based on extra dimensional energy using a casters mental framework as a base structure but technology can be directly adapted to harness it if the Borg got their hands on that tech let's just say they may be the ones on the end of being assimilated since currently the only faction with access to such gear has ai running all its facilities (which are based on human consciousnesses ripped out of the body by technology and lobotomized into loyal AI Contained in a crystal core (the crystal itself is technically for dimensional bleeding into the 3rd dimension mirroring the science of souls in my setting) and let's just say the moment they get attacked about ten other factions are getting speed dialled and one of those factions leaders is capable of moving at beyond infinite speed (moving in absolute zero time so he can be anywhere in the multiverse at a moment's notice) and he'd be interested in the foreign technology of the Borg enough to add them to his collection long enough to reverse engineer the tech and hook it into his mainframe and a doubt the borgs hive Mind will be able to fight a being with essentially infinite knowledge (the mainframe is a living being who's physical body is kept in a state of perpetual sedation at their own request because their unique power causes their brain to receive so much data that it effectively causes their entire nervous system to begin firing full force
And some wizards actually require mana or something to cast so they would need to absorb a large amount to magic people just to run the logistics of having a unit that requires an additional, undiscovered power source to perform.
Yeah, I can see them being able to assimilate Mistborn, potentially, but I can't see them being able to do much with Knights Radiant, due to those requiring an adherance to oaths and bonds with spirit-like beings called Spren.
The Borg are the predators twins. Both so dumb
"I'm not surprised parts of the ship are on fire!" - that's our Harry Dresden!
Funniest thing to me. Both of their magic systems break technology. And they don't have to have a foci to use their magic, it just helps focus it. So end of the day it doesn't really matter which Harry they have, they need to get them off the ship pronto.
Well good news ONE of those cubes in theory should be fine
I like how for once Harry Potter is arguably a bigger problem for the villain than Harry Dresden.
I don't see how.
Ha! I'd forgotten that Dresden is basically a walking EMP. That said, Borg need to remember that transporter stasis is a thing...but they wouldn't be calling John if they hadn't already done something dumb.
*Please pardon me as I nerd out for a bit:*
The Borg need to find a fictional setting that runs on GURPS and uses its standard Magic system. *Why?*
1) In _The Dresden Files_ setting and, to a lesser extent, in the _Harry Potter_ setting, magic doesn't play nice with modern technology.
2) While you (usually) need the Magery trait to cast Spells, said Spells are handled as "Skills" e.g. you study them to learn them. Which is true in many settings, but...
*(Strap in, this is about to go long)*
...the way GURPS models this, as well as ways they've modeled hiveminds and cyborgs in other settings is quite _exploitable_ in GURPS. Normally, what balances out Spells in GURPS is that you...
A) ...usually have to have a trait called "Magery"; in some settings this is rare, in others it is easy to get. I think the Borg can find a way. ;)
B) ...have to perform necessary motions and/or say necessary words to cast the Spell. *However,* the higher your Skill level, the less of a ritual you need; sufficiently Skilled mages just seem to stare off into nothing for a split second.
C) ...have to pay an Energy cost. *Again,* high skill can reduce or even eliminate this cost. There are ways to _share_ this cost as well.
D) ...have to know all prerequisite Spells. *Example:* Ignite Fire => Create Fire => Shape Fire => Fire Ball => Explosive Fireball
*The Borg most likely have a trait called Modular Abilities,* as a side effect of their Collective nature. _I think:_ I should mention now, I lost my passion for Star Trek in the early 2000s, so I could be remembering wrong, or it could have changed.
If it does work this way, also know that Modular Abilities is a complex trait: what I'm about to suggest isn't even exploiting it to its fullest... but that also means it costs fewer Character Points to include for a character (GURPS has you build character by spending CP). *Anyway,* using Modular Abilities to model swappable Skills means individual drones _don't_ have to study magic. So long as they have Magery, they can download the needed Spells from the Borg's collective memory/database/whatever-it-is to use them! Also regular Skills as well, hence why Borg seem so omniproficient much of the time.
The drones likely - this is _all_ speculation - don't even have to stick to _specific_ Skill Levels for the Spells. Even if the database has the Skill Levels of master mages recorded in it, as much or as little of that knowledge can be stored in the drone's individual mind, to tailor its own Skill level. This can be valuable for "saving" memory space by learning prerequisite Spells to the minimum applicable level, while maxing out space for the Spell that matters most! Indeed, *that's part of the Collective's strength:* they collective mental resources can calculate an _optimal_ spell loadout for any given situation. If a prerequisite Spell is _also_ useful, no sense skimping on it! Oh, and some parts of the Collective can be assigned to constantly practice and expand the Collective's Spell database.
*What about needing Magery?* That comes to the _second major exploit._ Instead of focusing on being _faster_ for casting in battle or other circumstances where you need to act fast, when you have extra time, you can go for a "ritual" casting. Some Spells have such massive Energy costs, this is the only way to really cast them effectively. These kinds of Spells can also have crazy effects. Even some small spells are scalable; instead of the usual _small_ effects, you can throw high amounts of Energy at it to get similarly massive results! Non-mages can contribute a little Energy as well, but the main point I want to make is one of the Spell Colleges (collections of related Spells) is the Enchantment College. This is how you permanently imbue magical effects onto things... not just inanimate objects, but even living organisms, undead creations, animate things like golems, etc. So, not only could we potentially power-up even non-mage Borg members... there's an Enchantment called "Great Wish".
*It does about what you think it does: granting a "big" wish!* There are limits, but one of the things it can do is grant a level of Magery to a non-mage. It would take a lot of time, maybe even sacrificing the lives of many Borg drones (to reach the needed Energy requirements), but *this convoluted plan could eventually result in a fully magical Borg collective.* Though I'd recommend actually creating some Borg who are mages, some who are "Magic Resistant", and some that are just normal, magically neutral Borg. Because magic can be fickle and capricious.
...
The *scary* thing is that this mess popped into my head almost instantly. I spent too long typing it up, but seriously, this is how my mind works. Or doesn't work. >.>
This was actually really informative! Thank you!
I'm just amazed at this Channel's whole concept. I love this set up.
The moment he verified it was Dresden he should have advised them to disconnect from the rest of the collective; otherwise you could kiss the entire collective good bye. Potter though, well you have a weaponless cube for a bit.
it's weird that the Borg would use the Imperial system, maybe it's a parting gift from Deadpool?
Maybe they use SI (or another system entirely) but find the minor calculations necessary to present in Imperial to be more efficient than waiting for John to process numbers in units he isn't familiar with.
Well the Borg probably said "2 meters" for Harry Dresden, which is pretty close to 6' 7"
"What's the problem? Okay, I'll give you a solution, just don't do the thing-- you did the thing. And now the problem is worse."
Also, assimilating Potter might result in a net _loss_ for the Collective: he's not very knowledgeable in magical _or_ mundane subjects (Hogwart's education/Dumbledore's fault), the majority of his powers require items he doesn't always have to hand, and his physical attributes are stunted and subpar at best (owing to abusive/neglectful childhood, and constant injuries and life-threatening events during said 'education').
"I can make magic potions but I don't know any math past 6th grade!"
Assimilating Potter just leads to the attempted assimilation of Hermione Granger aka the worst mistake the Borg made since Queen Borgpool
"Was there a girl with him?"
"OK. She may try to follow you to get him back, but just don't try to assimilate her as well."
"Because as much problems as I have to deal with since taking on you guys; I have nowhere near the time or patience to deal with the amount of hassle and paperwork that a Borg Queen Granger would bring into my life. Just don't even think about it." *Shudders in borg Deadpool flashbacks
Depends on which part of the timeline they snatch Potter from. I assume the Potter who is the head of the entire Auror Department and especially the version that became Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement is significantly more knowledgeable -- very useful.
@AFiltiarn I thought Harry stopped at head auror whereas Hermione earned the magical law enforcement department title and used it as a springboard to become minister of magic? Unless I'm wrong which I could be because I have actively forced myself to forget most of the stuff JKR has tweeted out since the series ended
That went swimmingly. Both calls. XD
1:47 - well they could both have the same one in a sense; eg, one could have book Potter and the other could have film Potter. And a third could have Daniel Radcliffe the actor because I get the feeling that the Borg would struggle with the concept of acting. 😝
Also, the Borg have time travel, so they could easily have picked whichever Harry it is from different points in his personal timeline.
They might have accidently picked up Elijah Wood trying to get Radcliffe🤷
Wild to think that, since the Potter-verse has anti-tech / anti-electricity magic (such as around Hogwarts), they could potentially be capable of defeating the Borg.
Dresden has worse. Literally by existing he makes Tech fail.
So essentially. The Borg are ****ed either way. Twice as fast with both on board 😂
The book say that large amounts of magic just make technology fail-ish, so there is a good change even if they manage to assimilatie a wizard their magic may not even work
@@SaM-us9gk but Potter can interact just fine with technology, as he does have to live with the Dursleys.
The stuff around Hogwarts is just… YEARS of protective spellwork and being reinforced snd rewritten over time. No wonder that would mess with tech. One little wizard isn’t going to make things stop just by being there.
Dresden, though… yeah. He’ll make things fail. Catastrophically, too!
@@icarusbinns3156 I don't mean that the entire Borg cube would fail because of one Harry Potter wizard, I mean that that wizard once assimilated probably can't use magic anymore.
If they've taken current novel Harry Dresden, wait until the borg deal with an upset Mab.
Please do Cosmere stuff, it would be a perfect addition to the Borg shenanigans!
Why is it that the most idiotic clients wait until Christmas to drop this sort of crap on the poor sods who are covering the holiday shift? Honestly, there should just be a recorded message directing them to the FAQ.

I tell you what the Borg really got themselves into a hairy situation with his one.
Me: Hey John. I’m wondering if your company can acquire two items for me. The items? The Carnage symbiote, and a gremlin(the crazier the better). I’m hoping the symbiote will negate the effects the sun has on gremlins. If it works I’m dropping them in the middle of the Iceberg Lounge. That’ll teach Penguin not to double cross me.😈
"Upon review, your request has been: Declined.

There needs to be an anime showing these two inside of Borg Cubes and causing damage. Love it!
At least they didn't snag Linna Inverse.
John, I this is why I recommended the Borg to be dropped from the client list. Just pass it to Gary.
"Does he keep saying the word 'fuego'?" 🙂
Wait till the borg hear the sound of magical sleigh bells followed by the words Run, Hide, or Join.
Reading the comments, *I had another idea.*
A series of videos showing how John's advice helped baddies win and win bit. *Not just with the canon we know:* since the multiverse is a _thing_ for these videos, John can even explain why he tries - seemingly in vain - to help the Borg, the Yautja, etc. make better choices. *Because John's already helped them win **_big_** in other realities,* in ways that paid off for Villain Support.
*Possible examples:*
The Yautja not only having the common sense to avoid _impossible_ hunts, but even showing discretion where victory is _improbable._ That list of targets *not* to hunt? It really is a list of targets not to hunt _yet._ Some version of the Yautja have already had those hunts, finished them successfully, and loved every minute of it. Ours just keep trying to tackle the final boss while they're still in the tutorial. XP
The Borg having assimilated everyone/thing they could in their own universe, and branching out into others. *What about the Q Continuum?* That's part of why they're branching out; to keep the Q entertained so they don't get bored and be all "Yeah, we should intervene after all..."
And my personal favorite: *Dragon Ball - A Cultivated Timeline.* While you still need something resembling a canon timeline, as otherwise your knowledge of the possible future suddenly becomes knowledge of an _impossible_ future, there's still so much that could be done working within the boundaries of what we have and know. General improvements to the Earth of Dragon Ball, so that it is still "backwards" enough that Freeze doesn't rush in to claim or destroy it _but_ so that Goku and company have to push themselves a little harder to rise to the top. Discourage _everyone_ from wastefully killing their foes, or at least, key foes...
*Think of the **-merchandising-** mercenary work Villain Support could use them all for!* Some of the video games for Dragon ball have hit on parts of this. The Red Ribbon Army operatives Goku killed? More "volunteers" for Dr. Gero's experiments. Commander Red is a joke, and yet not a total joke: *look at the organization he built!* Don't waste him on a Gero cyborg; once he loses to Goku, rescue him from the brink, put him into middle management with the promise of advancement - and Pym particles - to keep him loyal and hardworking for Villain Support. _Pym Particles?_ Once someone is _removed_ from the Dragon Ball multiverse, look for something controllable they'd want that Villain Support can supply. Commander Red is a short guy who wanted the Dragon Balls to wish himself _tall_ (not to take over the world, like his subordinates thought). While Pym Particles (from Marvel) are usually used to help one shrink, they can also be used to make someone grow... but the change doesn't seem to be permanent.
Well at least it wasn't Kevin McAlister
Another good character for the Borg to grab from the Dresden verse would be Donar Vadderung (As the CEO of the most technically advanced corporation on that world) the only question being after grabbing the would he go all pre-christmas Kringle on them and summon the wild hunt as he hunts them down or would he go Odin on them and unleash Einherjaren, Valkyries, and his Crows on them. Either way the terror filled screams would eclipse what happened when the borg approached Asteroid M in Universe 616.
John is being overwhelmed with calls? Maybe he shouldn't have been so mean to Santa this close to Christmas....
It’s his version of coal for sure…
Borg encountering xenomorphs and the chaos it could be.
You guys have stated in the dementors vs Harry Dresden that Potter only has one offensive spell, but really, he learned a bunch of spells for the final Triwizard task.
If he's loose on a Borg cube (and he's 5’6”) he's got Reducto, Stupefy, Levicorpus, Sectimsempera, Imperio and Crucio, that he's used in the books.
He can also transfigure objects and organisms, repair objects...
Let's say he's near the outer part of the cube and there are multiple Borg. Harry can cast a sticking charm on his shoes, cast Reducto on the hull then cast non-verbal Reparo after the Borg have been sucked into space.
Genius! I love this combo of spells for H Potter!
And he might have learned the bubblehead charm by now, too, since he saw how useful it was. He also can cast a firespell, and who knows what potions he might have on him if he has actually started Auror training.@@awolf876
WHY DID YOU WAKE HIM UP? Lol almost feel sorry for them.
I can see a lot of Dresden grade hexes being thrown around. Could be worse, though. The LSH's White Witch knows a 'minor spell of disassociation' that makes cyborgs fall apart.
I wrote a fanfic rewrite of the last Voldy v. Potter.
I gave Harry a more assertive soliloquy and when Mouldywarts tried to Avada Kedavera him, Harry just smirked at Kingsley and cast a no-look Expelliarmus just for the cool points.
Please do the xeelee sequence. The verse is goddamn crazy to be honest, making Sci fi like halo, star wars and 40k look like cavemen.
No kidding. Humans in that verse use the Big Bang as an assault rifle and used time travelers as big brother enforcers and were still cavemen by comparison. Hope ACME has some good countermeasures.
So more edgelord than 40k? Yikes!
@@travisbishop782 yeah, you think 40k throwing millions to even billions of soldiers through a meat grinder with shit equipment is edgy?
The ICAG is throwing billion to even trillion and more of child soldiers with little to no training and equipped with guns the power of the Big Bang and black holes in pistols and assault rifle and many more batshit insane tech like time travel in desperation at an enemy that doesn’t even consider them equals and nothing more but ants and vermin and largely ignored them for the majority of the war because they are just that beneath them.
Funny thing is, the suppression system probably would work on Harry's fire, but only after he's cast it. Then it's just regular fire and hence obeys regulars physics of fire. One of the nice things about Dresden's magic system is Physics still get a say in how things go down.
Yeah, i can only imagine the number Dresden's anti-tech chaos factor would do on anything from the Trek universe. Remember, it's pretty much alpha canon that every species relies on integrity fields to keep their ships in one piece, so right there it's gonna be a big problem. Not even sure the Borg's nanoprobes could last long enough to assimilate him. As i recall, the magic smoke ran screaming from Murphy's laptop after just a few keystrokes, and that was with him doing everything he could to suppress it.
Someone has done emergency help-desking IRL - or knows people who have.

Should have just asked if they had a lightning bolt shaped scar.
Everytime they try to teleport him he just pops out of a random place and they have more doves to deal with.
"I'm not sure I've magical fire would be affected by fire suppression systems"
Harry, on multiple occasions, has put emphasis on the "magically created fire is still fire" when it comes to the physical properties of his fire spells.
"Where Chaos Reigns" a D&D module where the characters have to deal with a futuristic race called the Oord. I don't know for sure if they are the inspiration for the Borg that first appeared in TNG several years later, but the resemblance is uncanny.
This is next level work.
Yeaaaaah. That's not gonna end well on either Cube. 😳
Rivers of London version:
"Is the guy, mixed race? Does he wear a really clunky wind up watch? Has anything vaguely electronic suddenly just died? For God's sake get him off the cube before a black woman in her 20's and a bloke in a Saville Row suit turn up or you're really screwed."

Two wizards messing with technology is the Dresden dream haha
I didn't read the series properly yet so I might be wrong but isn't Harry Dresden a walking Technobane to machines ? Like his mere magical presence insta-fries any electrical devices in the area ?
Yes any magic user (other than the fae or those being like them) emit a field that messes with tech. Harry has shown he is able to 'somewhat' controll it with concentration, but it still isn't good especially with more advanced tech. It would very a wonder the Borg were even able to be around him and still functio .
@@chocoboknight6471 Thanks ! While we’re on the subject : what are the Borgs exactly ? I think they are from Star Trek but that’s it.
@Kaito57 the borg are a group of technologically advanced people that have formed a hive mind. They fly around assimilating other species into their numbers in the pursuit of perfection. They capture people, basically wipe their personalities and implant a bunch of tech upgrades into the people.
