What happened to the Borg baby that was beamed from the cube to Voyager? It's never seen or mentioned after The Doctor saves its life. Did it die later or what? -Platypus Man 04:43, 28 Aug 2005 (UTC)

The baby was never mentioned onscreen again, but Brannon Braga claimed she was given back to her people offscreen in "Imperfection" [1]. -- Miranda Jackson ^(Talk) 05:07, 28 Aug 2005 (UTC)

The dissection of the statement Capt. Janeway makes in the Background section is flawed. It is more logical to assume that when she says "the other two", she is referring to the other two individuals, not two races.R2data 11:59, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Removed speculation

It is possible that the infant was returned to her homeworld soon after being found, however since the captain states in her log a the end of the episode that there are only "four very troubled children", it is reasonable to assume that the infant dies due to its weak and imature condition not long after being rescued.

I removed the above as it was unneeded. It is enough to state that the baby was never mentioned again; let's let the reader draw their own conclusions. --From Andoria with Love 22:51, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestion for memorable quote

There was a scene where one bridge officer (I forget who) was talking about the immaturity of the Borg children, acting irrationally, refusing to accept authority, etc., to which Tuvok replied that perhaps adolescents from every species are the same. IMHO, that has the makings of a good "memorable quote", however, despite just having seen the episode about an hour ago, my famously bad memory has made me forget the exact wording of the quote (or even who the bridge officer was). If someone else agrees this is worthy to be added, and knows the missing info, it has my vote to be included ...--24.78.58.42 22:50, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

It was Janeway. She said, "The Borg are predictable -- they'll either ignore you or assimilate you -- but these children ..." and it prompted Tuvok's response. I don't recall the exact wording of Tuvok's reply, either. - Bridge 13:03, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Heard the quote again, added. (BTW, I was the original asker, before I got an account). --The Time Traveller 00:54, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Captions

The captions on the pictures have a little more flare than we're used to. Can we keep them? is this acceptable? (The Ace of Cubes etc.) I think it ads some spice to the article, but I'm not sure what you all think of it. (Vince 04:27, 22 April 2008 (UTC))

[edit] Re-use of prop?

Was the borg shield generator a re-use of the artificial intelligence from 'Think Tank'?
