Hey Girl!! 💁🏻‍♀️

I know we haven’t talked since high school, so I wanted to check in on you!! I saw you post something devastatingly personal about your mother’s health on Facebook today, so I thought it would be a great time to send a message about an incredible opportunity that might just be a really good fit for you!

I have joined THE BORG! Yes, it’s true!! I’ve been assimilated ❤️ It’s honestly the best decision I have ever made. All my life I have been searching for a hive-minded tribe like this and I have finally found it! I love being part of a team that is truly building a perfect galaxy together, and I think you would love it too!! 👯‍♀️

And it might feel a little early, but you can absolutely even assimilate your kids to spend more time with them!

As soon as you join, you’re given your cortical array implant and neural transceiver. Every promotion gets you a new body modification! Once you assimilate 8 people, you reach the ocular implant 👁 level. After 16, your entire body is refitted with synthetic organs. Right now I am well on my way to getting my third promotion which would give me my exoskeleton and superhuman strength!! 💪🏻

At the very top is Borg Queen 👑 status. Not many people have reached this level, but when you do, you will get your very own Borg Cube◾️ to pilot. Then you can scour the universe assimilating every species you find to add to your…
