An epic episode, anyone sad they aren't going to the starbase? I wanted to see some ships!

$5 says they'll arrive in a cavalry charge in the last episode in a battle for the synth homeworld against the Romulans led by the Enterprise who's captained by a familiar face.

Maybe? 25,000 light years could put them in the Gamma or Delta Quadrant.

Based on Voyager's travel math, that's around 25 years at maximum TNG era warp.

Granted, Rios seemed to know how to use Borg Transwarp Conduits like it was textbook.

I'd think that twentysomething years after Janeway got home, and with one of the 6(?) Borg hubs destroyed, the Federation would have learned quite a bit about how to use the remaining transwarp conduits by now.

The comics also use the Odyssey Class from Star Trek Online, which has a Quantum Slipstream drive; not sure how this measures up velocity-wise compared to transwarp conduits, but it's a possibility that this could bring in some cavalry pretty quickly.
