They were in some kind of maturation chamber, IIRC, and already had implants.A theory I've seen about her is that she's actually Lal, though I don't know why or how people get that idea. Maybe she's actually a young Borg Queen? Maybe she is the Borg Queen, and it's time travel with predestination paradox and all. (I hope not.)I figure the facility with all the prisoners contains liberated Borg, e.g. people like Hugh that were disconnected from the Collective. The note of "x work days since the last assimilation" might imply that they are contained and isolated to avoid that they form a new collective or reconnect to the regular Borg. The background novel/comics to the first Kelvin Timeline Movie (aka JJ.Trek) suggests that Nero's ship, the Narada, has been modified by Borg technology (not even Romulans build their mining vessels like warships). Star Trek Online uses the idea and suggests the Romulans had a Sphere in the facility that also altered the Narada. Whatever the specifics, that might lead to a lot of imprisoned Borg Drones that might have been disconnected from the Hive. Maybe on the one hand, Picard wants to get these people out of prison. And on the other hand, they represent a threat of, well, the Borg returning in some way, which is why they get imprisoned in the first place. Maybe the Federation or Starfleet is even complicit here, because they have the same worry.</blockquote>
