The Borg is The Ultimate User --

 [Observation lounge]

PICARD
Guinan, how much more can you 
tell us about these creatures?

GUINAN: 
Bits and pieces.

PICARD: 
Anything would help.

GUINAN: 
They're made up of organic and artificial Life which 
has been developing for thousands of centuries.

Q
The Borg is The Ultimate User -- 
They're unlike any threat 
your Federation has ever faced. 
They're not interested in political conquest
wealth or Power as you know it... 
They're simply interested in Your Ship
its Technology; They've identified it 
as something They can consume --

RIKER: 
You brought us here, you exposed us to Them, 
and you cost us the lives of our shipmates --

Q: 
Oh, please....

PICARD : 
....Number One -- 
Eighteen of our people have died. 
Please, tell us this is one of your illusions.

Q
Oh, no -- This is as 'real', 
as Your so-called 'Life', gets.

(And he vanishes)
