        The Borg don’t have that problem. Every drone knows everything the hive knows and the hive never forgets. Therefore every drone knows which cable to replace, should the need arise.

          It’s nice having a bionic eye that is directly connected to an Enterprise Content Management system which has schematics and engineering diagrams for:

          • Aforementioned cables, terminal blocks, pigtails and splices, homerun cables, and associated electrical and instrumentation loop diagrams

          • Piping and Instrumentation diagrams for all ship systems, including revision level document management

          • Plan and structural drawings of each Cube, with calculations

          • Environmental/equipment qualification documentation

          • Certificates of Compliance from Hive manufacturers, tracing materials back to their original source. These would also need to confirm to Hive QA programs and traceable Hive-wide standards, where applicable.

          • Indexed and catalogued maintenance work orders

          • Legacy documentation from previous species who were assimilated

          • Indexing and cataloguing newly encountered species’ technology and uploading it to the database

          Also the eye would be Augmented Reality so the drone can tell exactly what it is just by looking at it.

        As long as you know where it starts and where it ends you can just pop a new one there and let the old cable be absorbed into the rest

        Or trust me I have. Imagine if you will a house from the 1930s with the internet cable running from the opposite side of the house as the router. However the wire is deliberately put through as many rooms as possible on the way to the router and super glued into place as though it’s fine to trip on a wire 5 times to get to a room.

          Yall need an attic, a crawlspace, or some outdoor rated cable and some siding cable clips.

          Some acetone on the hilariously glued cable should sort it out afterwards.

        Nobody replaces “a cable” in a long run.

        The only two actions available are to add a cable, or to replace an entire nest of them.
