A drone uses assimilation tubules on an Enterprise-E crewman (2373).
Assimilation tubules are a pair of flexible needle-like devices that extend from the wrist or fingers of Borg drones. These tubules initiate the assimilation process by injecting nanoprobes into the target's bloodstream, and are capable of penetrating any armor or energy shielding known to the Federation. Assimilation tubules also allow drones to interface with technology. (VOY: "Scorpion")
- In their first appearance and in "Scorpion, Part I", the assimilation tubules appeared to be rigid, talon-like weapons; however, in later appearances on Voyager, the tubules seemed to be flexible objects, more along the lines of "tubules". This may indicate that they can stiffen depending on function.
