Corrected entry: In the 'deflector disc scene', Lt. Hawk is grabbed by a Borg, who carries him off to the side of the ship (moving at a very slow pace, due to being magnetically attached to the hull). Only a few minutes later, Hawk reappears, this time fully assimilated and with Borg attachments on his face and head. None of the other people assimilated in this film got their attachments so quickly, and Hawk could not have gotten to engineering, received implants and then climbed back outside in so short a time. And why did he put his space helmet back on after getting the implants? As a Borg, he would not need it, as seen on the other drones working on the deflector disk.

Correction: They neither took him back to engineering nor removed his helmet. The devices that appeared on his face are a result of the nanoprobes that he was injected with. They are the first step in assimilation and have a limited ability to generate these devices and the injection tubules can penetrate most any known form of shielding (according to the Doctor on Voyager). We have already seen the early effects of this stage of assimilation. When Picard shoots the crewman who has been injected and is asking for Picard to help him, if you look at his face, you can see the begining stages of this automated assimilation process.
