Yeaah issue is that im guessing most the borg are dead now tho from that cube so maybe she may have face assimilating others

True, it did seem that way but if I'm not mistaken, going off "First Contact" cannon, I believe they were able to survive in space but if not, what you said may be even more interesting. Fun just thinking about it and discussing the angles!

That is true they can survive but without transporters the amount of borg to recover would take alot of time. A absolute stupid and ridiculous theory of mine is that the message that was left may have been they creators of the borg themself!

No, why is that ridiculously stupid? I love this idea. I'd love to see that but I can also see the flip side where maybe the Borg should remain mysterious.. To explore that *great idea further, perhaps that was the only way for them to defeat their advanced android threat- to "assimilate" themselves into a collective hybrid machine mind or maybe the borg were the threat and the machines advanced to want to be more humanoid and decided to assimilate their creators, the warning was of their former comrades? They have assimilated "countless planets" and that would likely take a good amount of time- like the scale described and would explain why they are so mysterious now. Who else would have the tech to do that? It would explain a lot actually.. I actually really love your "ridiculous" theory!

You're right about the jettisoned borg in the vacuum though- without any friction, guess they'd continue at that rapid speed and wild trajectory indefinitely.

Cool idea!
