[QUOTE]Originally posted by Triton: [QB] I still think it's quite a stretch to make the Decker/Ilia/Voyager hybrid the genesis of the Borg. I am still convinced that the Decker/Ilia/Voyager hybrid became a non-corporeal energy creature like the Organians or the Companion. What was the whole point of the light show at the end of the [i]Star Trek: The Motion Picture[/i] otherwise except to show V'ger converting itself to pure energy. I still believe that the Borg are like a twisted version of the Bynars or the Brynars taken to an extreme. Originally the Borg were an organic race who began to increasingly become dependent on cybernetics. Perhaps their cybernetic use started innocently enough as a way to extend life by replacing diseased and failing organs. They may have wanted to wire their brains together to colloborate on engineering problems or scientific research or to communicate much more effectively than just using words. Over decades or centuries they evolved into a Collective intelligence and became the Borg that we met in the 24th century. But no one can say that [i]Star Trek[/i] fans aren't creative. :D On the subject of [i]Star Trek: Invasion[/i], author James Swallows discussed his experience with the development team in creating the game at the following web site: [URL=http://hometown.aol.co.uk/Redwingproject/invasion.htm]Star Trek: Invasion[/URL] It makes interesting reading if you have not already seen it. James Swallows also reveals that he is the author of some material from the dreaded [i]Star Trek Fact Files[/i]. Hopefully he was the author of the stuff that got the technical information right. My sympathies go out to you Captain Mike. I hope things will go better for you in the future and you will be much happier. I wish you the best. [/QB][/QUOTE]
