Oh sure, you can keep an eye on the big metal man, but if even one of those tiny little skittering bugs sinks it's teeth into you. Imagine if a cyberman was chasing your, then just stopped in another room and had a few dozen of these little silver bug things crawl out of it's skin and scurry through the walls and under doors to get to you. Plus, the Borg assimilate people with their little nano-tube things which they need to get up close and personal with. Creepy crawlies are always scary and these ones have the added bonus of doing all sorts of nifty things to you. The Cybermites - I really liked the Cybermites in the Nightmare in Silver episode. Ideas presented by non-Cybermen are subject to emotion, and thus flawed.ġ. They have already made their decision based on their own COMPLETELY IMPECCABLE logic. So there's nothing for it but to delete anything that causes the slightest emotion.ĥ) Don't let them be bought, bargained or reasoned with. They don't take a look at their emotion blocker things because that would mean admitting to a flaw in the very basic nature of their being. They are subject to curiosity, to anger, to fear, and they hate it. That's why they want to assimilate everyone- the flawed logic in their programming tells them it's necessary for their survival as a species, and they can't notice that it's flawed because they know that they're perfectly logical beings, and thus, mistakes in logic are something that happens to other people.ģ) That's another thing about the Cybermen: despite their protestations to the contrary, they are still emotional beings. The problem is, the reproductive urges in their programming became all-consuming. They are all programmed with reproductive urges, as a way of ensuring the continuation of their species. 2) They already are about survival, it's just a bit.
