As a Cyborg, I assumed my round was going to be slow and relatively uninvolved, so I started building a lounge at escape, as usual. Then, a Changeling uploads a "only changelings are human" law and orders us to kill the rest of the crew. From there, I went about the usual rampage borg business: punching random holes, stealing plasma tanks and lighting them up in vital areas, etc. There were a few close calls involving people with robot-killing gear managing to stun me, but I was always able to escape.
The real moment of awesome came when the AI asks me to come back to the upload to save him from an attempted reset. I cut in through space and rushed into the foyer. Upon seeing me, the human, Louis Szekley, promptly injected himself with about 30 units of tricord and whipped out a flash. What followed was repeated flashings as he got his robot-killing gear together. His flash burned out right as he cracked my head open, and he told me "You're dead" just before tearing out my brain. For about a second, I went whizzing away in ghost mode, still holding my arrow key to run away. Then he accidentally double clicked and stuffed my brain back in.
What followed was thirty seconds of dodging a guy who could kill me in one click in the confines of the upload foyer. I finally managed to get my interface open, equipped a screwdriver, and reshut my skull, all while dodging. Louis turned to back off and ran face-first into the shocked doors he'd been dodging the whole time, whereupon I promptly dragged him out of my hole into space. He got away again, only to hit the door again. That time, I made sure to drag him out faster.
Just in time, too: the shuttle had a minute to leave. I flew over, where the other borg and the Shambling Abomination awaited, and we flew off as the Abomination serenaded us with sweet, sweet saxophone music. Hell yeah.
