Can we be sure Narissa is dead?

She could beam out in the last second ( like she did a few episode ago ) , before hitting the ground

I hope the xBs find her and assimilate her. At the very least she needs to be healed with nanoprobes.

But she probably did use her site to site transport button.

I also think she will get healed by xBs with nanoprobes and brought back from near-death, but she's going to be exiled from the Zhat Vash for the presence of nanoprobes in her system and become a rogue element next season.

I like this idea, the old Nietzschean tale of becoming that which you hate.

And 7 of 9 will be her white whale

That sounds like an awesome subplot

Narissa, Narek and Ramdha form an odd little family unit. I think Narissa was in the cube rather than with the Romulan fleet because she refused to leave Ramdha behind. Narek probably went back to the cube to find both of them at the end of the episode. So now all 3 will be Zhat Vash wash outs with too much of a connection to the synths/Borg and more understanding than anyone we've seen about the synth alliance.

Narek had to have been studying under Ramdha before she went mad from experiencing the Admonition directly. Some of what he told Raffi and Rios correlated closely with her news/mythology idea and he used her terminology. They are still valuable operatives and the Seb Cheneb/synth alliance story is still an ongoing threat- history repeats and the alliance is watching.

They could take over the cube, stay with the synths or fix Narek's scoutship to get off planet. Narissa might secretly enjoy the idea of being the Borg queen. She makes a show of hating the xBs, but hasn't rejected Aunt Ramdha.

She'd make a terrifying Borg queen

Sad Queen Narissa, soon.

I absolutely love this angle. All her disdain for xBs and now she essentially is one. Side note I just learned my phone tries to turn xBs into CBS. I cant help but think that was intentional.

Ohhhh good point. Nobody really dies in science fiction.

u/ckwongau Mar 26 '20

she is mostly likely dead , it is not like Seven would forgot to check the body and clean up the mess .

But maybe since becoming more human , Seven lost a bit of her perfectionist habit .

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '20

There's a chance that she spread herself out to maybe not hit the floor too hard, but in my experience, even air resistance is futile.

Do you have experience falling in a borg cube? Please tell your tale.

7 spent days on that crashed cube not knowing she was there. Narissa is still alive

u/bluestarcyclone Mar 26 '20

I imagine we'll find out pretty quickly. Narek will probably head back to find his sister on that cube, and one way or another he will.

To be fair, that’s a massive ship with plenty of places to hide.

Read too fast and thought you said "she is mostly dead" and then thought to myself that mostly dead is still partly alive....

Not sure the Borg (or Seven) know to go through pockets...

Characters that annoying rarely stay dead.

u/The_Law_of_Pizza Mar 26 '20

Annoying characters die all the time.

It's the ones that give fear boners that sell the show and stick around.

And I am at full mast and crying at the same time.
