Strangely enough, it all sort-of fits, and finally replaces the "the Borg didn't know about the Federation until them met the E-D" theory that got scuppered by Generations and "Dark Frontier" (to pick one of several eps that screwed our perceptions of the timeline about).

Or, say, "The Neutral Zone", which has the Borg scooping up several Federation colony worlds along the Neutral Zone.

I suppose we actually have to come up with a reason why THAT cube never wandered over to the Federation proper. Did the colony's not have any information on Earth? Unlikely, considering that every Federation computer seems to have information on everything from the dawn of time. Was their mission just to attack the Neutral Zone? Possible, and the Borg are a bit simple minded, so they possibly wouldn't have deviated from that until the Collective had had time to analyse the data.

Personally, I think that the "Neutral Zone" cube got there by accident. A wormhole, or something. And then fell into another wormhole immedietly after.

Or, maybe, just maybe, Q had already decided to teach humanity a lesson by showing them that they weren't aware of what was out there, so he bought a cube into Federation space for a bit, and then sent it back, hoping perhaps that the devestation would cause Starfleet to pull it's collective finger out. That didn't really work, so he then tried an alternative approach of sending the Enterprise to them.

when you say, "Neutral zone" are you refering to TNG time frame ....or TOS? i'd like to know because of a related querry. there was book published years ago that said that the TOS's planet killer was a foe of the borg. if your refering to borg mischieft in the NZ during TOS, where was the Planet Killers location and flight path compared to the NZ and by extention the delta quadrant?

or are you thinking TNG thus neatly putting 20, 456 pin holes with a needle the size of New Jersey into my teddy bear idea?

lordy! "anime boy"? well i guess there are worse fates. still, you guys didnt't answer the question about the plant killer and it's flightpath. think it's possible it had something to do with the borg?

and not that note, since i'm currently bored & currently listening to Motley Crue, does V'ger have anything to do with the borg or the price of teabagings in the sex trade industry in thailand?
