I really believe that it refers to Data killing the Borg Queen.
The Entire Collective would remember that moment well and if Data's 'bits' were used to create the Twins then that is what is driving this.
The Romulans apparently believe that the Twins also have the ability to channel the Queen herself.

How could they remember? It happened in the past and they never got to send any message.
 
She died in 2063 with no connection to the collective (great point btw!)
We don't really know for a fact that there wasn't some kind of connection to the BORG in the Delta Quadrant or even Cubes on the edge of Federation space that picked up on the loss and transmitted that info to other surviving Borg.

Also, Data knew and his info is apparently in the Twins.
Plus, it probably became fairly well known that Picard and his crew of the Enterprise killed the Queen.
It certainly would be common knowledge among Star Fleet Admirals and certain Commodore's.
 
Though surviving Borg in the 22nd Century got a message off to the Collective. Archer assumed 200 years to reach them, but a Borg ship much closer could have received it much sooner. And what happened to the Borg bodies and the partially assimilated shipwreck?
 
I always got the impression there were multiple queens. Not just one.
We never saw more than one at a time.
If it becomes apparent to the Collective that a Borg Queen has expired, they probably put a new one on the fast track to taking over.
:techman:

Didn't the Borg hacking the Enterprise-E dish manage to get a couple of pulses off before it was destroyed?

Slightly off topic, but I was in that episode of Doctor Who! I played the grey Dalek up on the stage in the Dalek city :)
 
That ending put the hugest smile on my face. The combination of "Engage" and the sweeping TNG music was absolute perfection.

EXTERMINATE!

It was a bit weird though the way Rios looked at Picard and waited for him to say it.

Almost like the two of them had been on a starship bridge together before.
(but it's pretty clear they are meeting for the first time)
:wtf:
 
It's Rios' ship, but Picard's mission. So who's in command? Picard is, I assume? Or is he the Obi Wan on this trip on the Millennium Falcon?
 
Probably. Since Dahj and Soji are Luke and Leia. And the Tal Shiar (I still refuse to acknowledge their new "more secret secret" organization) executed Order 66 on Mars.
 
It was weird that Picard referred to the pilot being a XO on a “heavy cruiser”. Usually in Trek they would just say the name or class of vessel, not it’s type. I know he does say the name of the vessel which I forget.
I wonder if that was done because at the time of filming they hadn’t decided what class it was. I could only think of 4-5 classes of ships that it could be. The Excelsior (which I imagine would be retired by this point), the Ambassador, the Galaxy, the Sovereign or the Odyssey.

Think the only other time the words "heavy cruiser" were used in Trek onscreen was in "Conspiracy" to refer to an Ambassador class ship. Not saying he was therefore referring to the Ambassador in this case though...
