Everyone seems to have forgotten: how does Ramdha get to meet Soji ‘tomorrow’, when she’s out of action comatose in a bed?
Presumably she saw Soji in the visions on planet Aia (Grief World), but we know they are the memories of a dead alien species i.e. they are history not premonition. We also see Data/Lore’s face transition from the robot’s in the admonition vision. So, how can Soji (and Data/Lore) appear in the memories of a long dead species?
Most people think time travel, but there are few concrete theories. Here’s mine which also answers the above question and makes a few predictions.
We know Soji is way too clued up on the Borg to be normal (potential Soji origin story?) and Lore also spent time with the Borg, assembling his own army of Borg defectors. Therefore both may have access to time travel.
But that requires a cube, so perhaps Seven requisitions/assimilates the remaining XBs on the cube (including Ramdha - taking her out of coma) to create a skeleton crew which she uses to help Picard. This could potentially put Ramdha and Soji in touch, and give Soji access to time travel in order to keep a consistent time line with her (and Data/Lore) being enshrined in the memories of that species.
As to why she would want/need to travel back in time to visit that species…if she can learn about what causes the Seb-Cheneb (Destroyer) to appear, then she knows how to prevent those conditions happening in her timeline, or she can work out a way to defeat it, and thereby secure a safe future for her ‘species’.
Given the Zhat Vash seem to be a secret society of women, then Narek can’t be a member. Although he may be working with Zhat Vash, it’s also possible that he doesn’t realise his sister is a member or that he knows about Oh. From this perspective Narissa may be a double agent and he may simply be Tal Shiar (who also want to kill synths as they wiped out Maddox’s lab in ep.5).
This could be important as without undergoing the ZV initiation ceremony, his verve may not be as strong as Narissa’s in the same way that Jurati is now persuaded not to kill Soji, thus Narek might also not (especially as he is in love with her). This would setup a lovely plot twist of sister vs brother.
Predictions:

Predictions:
- Soji and Narek join forces and use Seven’s cube to time travel back to the first arrival of the Seb-Cheneb (with or without Picard)....season 2?
- Lore will come back as the bad guy...there has been no villain thus far and Lore is properly evil.
- In her attempt to learn about/stop the Seb-Cheneb appearing in the past, she actually makes it happen, thus bringing true Ramdha's statement that she is Seb-Cheneb or does she have free-will to break the paradox and create a new timeline where history does not repeat itself?
- The story will hinge on free-will, because that’s the differentiator between robots and sentient life. The fate of robots is determined by their programming, but if Soji is truly sentient, then even if she comes from Lore (rather than Data) she also has the free-agency to decide her own fate and stop the Seb-Cheneb returning.
