In an episode of Voyager, I can't remember the name, it's the one where Chacotay(I could never spell his name). But anyway, it's the one where he encounters those rouge borgs and they help heal him through their collective. Anyway, the girl (don't remember her name either) was human and she said she was assimilated at Wolf 359. Now if that cube was ulitmately destoryed, how the heck did she end up in the Delta quad?

Well, that's a good question. Well the queen seems to be able to be everywhere, I guess there's some sort of personal transwarp transporter. Of course, that's just a guess, I'm sure someone can give you a better explanation.

This is what it says on this one guy's page. I hear he's pretty smart. And a looker!
"Stardate 50614 (2073): The USS Voyager encounters a disabled Borg ship in the Nekrit Expanse, a region in the Delta Quadrant filled with plasma storms and various unknown types of interstellar gas clouds. The ship and the Borg aboard it were offline, but a group of drones who had been on a nearby planet found themselves free of the Collective�s influence, and their original personalities began to reassert themselves. Among these former drones were several residents of the Alpha Quadrant, including at least one Starfleet officer present at Wolf 359. It is our conclusion that the Borg sent back a sample of assimilated beings sometime after Wolf 359, possibly through a transwarp conduit. The reasons for such an act are not known, though it is hypothesized that it was an attempt to ensure that some data on the Alpha Quadrant would be preserved even if the Borg invasion of Federation space failed."
(And yes, before people ask, that is part of my collection of Borg stuff. But I am a looker. )

This is a good question that I've wondered about for a while too. This is also one of the best explanations I've heard. They could've shot a sphere outta the cube and sent it back to the DQ before the Ent D caught up.
And by the way, the Borg Queen didn't get off the cube, or the Ent E in FC. The queen we saw in Dark Frontier seems to be the same consciousness but it's clearly a similar but different body. That's my theory anyway.

My question would rather be why there are so many human and Klingon and Romulan and other Alpha Quadrant Borg at all, although there should be only a few thousand among Trillions! $ $ $ $ $ Agreed, Seven was deliberately chosen as representative, everything else would have been an incredible coincidence. However, why do they also encounter the Borg cube obviously filled with Alpha Quadrant races (Unity), then arbitrarily select a Borg cube to negotiate with where a human (Seven) is aboard (Scorpion), accidentally find Seven's ship (Raven) and finally Seven hallucinates about the assimilation of only Alpha Quadrant races (the schizo epsiode)?

Answer(obviously): Most likely writers who don't care too much about this kinda thing. Man, I wish they had a couple of people from this forum on their writing staff, or editorial staff. That would help BIG time. Ah well.

Did ya all catch the Klingon and Bolian Borgs in the various Borg shows and FC? I did think that looked pretty cool even though it is fairly incredible.

You know, that Cardassian drone should probably raise some important questions. We all say we want to see different species assimilated. But when exactly would a Cardassian have the opportunity? The Borg have never attacked Cardassia. That means that the Borg must be actively assimilating ships somewhere out in the Alpha Quadrant. And yet we don't get any indication that this is so. Perhaps the Federation will wake up one day to realize that the Borg have steadily been assimilating every vessel that leaves sensor range?

The Borg do seems to be everywhere. It seems that they have frequently made trips to the Alpha quad. There have obviously been encounters with Starfleet and the Klingons that we have yet to hear very much about. On the plus side though, Starfleet seems quite a bit better able to defend themselves at least in space battles seeing as how the Excalibur was apparently attacked and boarded but still survived.

Well, we don't know that the Excalibur put up a fight. It seems possible that the Borg could have just beamed over, grabbed a few people, scanned some databases, and beamed off. There wouldn't be too much the crew could do about it.

Sol is right, the Federation isn't the only AQ power sending ships out on deep space missions. The Cardassians could have been scouting areas outside Cardassian Space for colonization and one of their ships ran into a Borg Sphere. Cardassian technology is something that the Borg could want. And about the Excalibur, anything could have occured. I doubt though that the entire ship was destroyed, since there would be a conflict with the New Frontier novels. Maybe in the near future a NF book would give a non-cannon some info on the Borg encounter.
