[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] Blackadder. The third, I believe. One theory of mine (if you want to go down the Borg Are Really Clever path) is that the Borg have a cunning (yes!) plan. Look at it this way. The Borg show up out of the blue in 2365, with about 5 cubes, and invade the Federation. They get a certain level of tech, and all is good (for them). Now, look at it another way. They turn up in 2364 and assimilate a couple of places. Federation (and Romulans) investigate. They panic a bit. No doubt R & D money goes up. The Borg encounter the Enterprise in 2365. The Enterprise reports back to Starfleet. R & D goes into overdrive (and I'll admit that the Borg didn't plan this step, but it did work out for them). Now, the Borg send along a single cube in 2366. Their thinking is that if a single cube is enough, then the Federation is obviously rubbish at research, and there is no point in putting off assimilation any longer. However, if the Federation has advanced enough to stop the cube, then obviously they are genius inventing people. This also plays into the Borgs' hands (and twitching thingies). The Borg could send a fleet to sector 001 and assimilate the Federation any time they wanted, but by sending only a ship at a time, they keep the Federation on their toes, and get them developing tech at a much faster rate. So, when the Borg do eventually get around to assilating the Federation, they get the benefit of years of paniced research into anti-Borg weapons. This will make the Borg a lot stronger than if they'd just assimilated them at the start. Of course, this whole theory depends on whether you are taking the "emotionless force of nature" early Borg, or the "shock troops of bald woman" later Borg. [/QB][/QUOTE]
