Borg Scout Tool‑Arm (Arm‑Mounted Interface/Siphon Module)
A forearm‑mounted Borg cybernetic tool‑arm: a palm‑to‑forearm assembly of matte black/gunmetal plates, braided conduits and filamentous probes fused to organic tissue. Where a human hand would be, a multipurpose interface graft—serrated clamps, contact nodes, micro‑ports and nanofiber tendrils—extends to lock onto hulls and consoles. It hums and emits a faint ozone/green luminescence as microfilaments probe seams, siphoning power, drawing data and harvesting components; its adaptive plating and gripping grapnels enable rapid system compromise and physical modification of targets.

Purpose
Serves as a multifunction manipulator capable of gripping, interfacing with technology, and performing utility or weaponized tasks (repair, forcible entry, cutting or restraining).
Significance
Arrives with the Borg scout and converts abstract threat into immediate danger: the arm's presence collapses any pretense of routine contact, triggers Red Alert, and forces the bridge crew into defensive, crisis-mode action — a stark embodiment of assimilation's hybrid menace.
