[QUOTE]Originally posted by Shakaar: [QB] All the spheres that the spherebuilders created were destroyed, and really their only function was to alter the fabric of space to be more hospitable to their kind- so it's not really of any value to the UFP, even if they could have learned more about it. I think most of the technology of a temporal nature vanishes at one point or another. Now the Borg is a different story- You'd think that something more could have been discovered of them from the Arctic site, they easily found two drones in the ice right away, and though those two assimilated the research team and perhaps took technology of value, something more probably could have been found... So they have at least some knowledge of the Borg. At the time they didn't know they were "Borg" though, and there was no visual evidence of what a drone looked like (as I assume what the researchers collected was destroyed with them) but at least they could have collected visual renderings of what the away team saw on the assimilated research vessel. The Xindi join sometime after the founding of the UFP, and the 29th century, and then who knows, perhaps only part of the Xindi are members. Perhaps they resettled someplace different. The larva was not a power cell, they produced synapitic impulses, which perhaps served as a simple CPU for the weapon. I think a modern Starfleet phaser is better... biological technology is neat, but I'd probably not use it in a phaser... what if you went to a very hot, or cold planet, it'd really suck to have your larva die and then the weapon to go haywire. Perhaps it was a precursor to the bio-neural gel packs, so maybe they did learn from it. [/QB][/QUOTE]
