Her species was effectively "dead", and she was looking desperately for that connection she wants had.Secondary motivator was revenge on starfleet for "genoiciding" her species, at least from her perspective.I think those came through clear enough. As I mentioned before, the only aspect I didn't understand was the inviting Picard in effectively to gloat. You gloat when you have 100% won, not when your super move has worked but there is still worked to be done. I mean her plan was brilliant but it was very brittle due to her desperate state.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">She needs to keep Jack alive to keep the signal going (I now assume that this organic thing was just a side project until Voyager massacred them, and suddenly it became their only hope....but jack was the only one and they didn't have the resources to make more).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">She needs the ship (which is rickety and not super functional) to stay near the fleet to broadcast the signal.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Humanity has now beaten the Borg several times, so you would never put them in the same bucket as most species, they are now an 8472 level threat, something to be taken with absolute seriousness.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">As we saw when the Enterprise started firing, while it was old it had more than enough firepower to do serious damage.</li> </ul>With all of that mind, not firing on the enterprise the second they found you was monumentally stupid.</blockquote>
