'''Assimilation tubules''' are a pair of flexible needle-like devices that extend from the wrist or fingers of [[Borg]] [[drone]]s. These tubules initiate the [[assimilation]] process by injecting [[nanoprobe]]s into the target's [[blood]]stream, 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, Part I|Scorpion]]", et al)
 
:''In their first appearance and in "Scorpion, Part I", the assimilation tubles 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".''
