    Could they adapt to that kind of energy output? It’s funny how I accept the nomenclature of the Borg without considering the technological implications.

    Could a cube just wave away that kind of energy output?

      It would probably take longer for them to adapt to. They’ve been blown up with giant lasers before. I think eventually though, they would adapt. They don’t need to absorb or stop the energy, just redirect it around the cube

      They take damage before adapting, don’t they? It’s fast but not immediate. They’d probably lose a cube in the first attack at least. I don’t know how far the hive mind extends, could they get details about the attack out to the other Borg before that first cube was destroyed by the murder moon?
