Spoilers Was being inside the Nexus the reason...

... that Daystrom Station had the corpses of Kirk and Picard?

Think Kirk may even still not be entirely dead, considering the sounds of his container.

And considering they also had Jean Luc's corpse there, i suspect it has something to do with the Nexus.

Maybe that's also why no one else beside apparently Picard and Grey, as revealed in Discovery, were able to have their consciousness succesfully transfered into a Golem...

 

No, they had the corpse of Kirk there for fanwank, and they had the corpse of Picard there because it’s apparently a weapon of mass destruction.

And was Grey in the Nexus too?

 

No, but maybe the metaphysical circumstances around the Trill and their symbiots make these things either possible or at least easier. Maybe the same is true for people who came back from the Nexus.

 

I suspect that Vadic's going to publicly reveal the existence of synth body resurrection on Frontier Day and cause mass chaos, meaning the weapon is a psychological weapon and not actually a physical one.

This then leads to the future described in Discovery where everyone tries synth resurrection but it almost never works.

 

I don’t see that happening.

 

Picard being a Synth wasn't a secret.

 

They're being Jonas Ventured. Daystrom has P.R.O.B.L.E.M. technology.

 

Maybe it's not Picard, but Professor Charles Xavier in his debilitated condition from Logan. They're going to use him to cause mass psychosis at Frontier Day!

 

Why? I'm fairly certain it's possible for someone to have gone to Veridian III and exhumed Kirk's grave and to have obtained Picard's remains from the Synth world without any connection to the Nexus.

 

Both Kirk and Picard have been inside the Nexus. Maybe something of the Nexus is still inside them.

 

I’m confused, I thought that the ‘baddies’ had already stolen both the Quantum Displacement weapon and another even more powerful as of yet unnamed weapon which they plan to use on the Frontier Day parade (I think it may be an Iconian virus personally). Grave robbing Picard’s corpse seems like an additional theft from Daystrom unless I am mistaken? The Titan originally went to Daystrom to investigate, not to stop a weapons theft?

The only reason that I can think of anyone wanting to take Picard’s body would either be to revive Locutus or to revive Picard himself for some reason? But Picard’s consciousness is now in the golum, so Locutus is the only logical thing that I can think of.

I can imagine a scenario where Picard would have to face off against Locutus. That would be quite epic.

 

Spoiler

That ‘even more powerful and as yet unnamed weapon’ was Picard’s dead body.

 

How is that a weapon?

 

Must be Locutus then.
Face-off.

 

I could see the Nexus weaponized as a kind of portal tech that reaches across time as well as space.

 

Yeah they could send Locutus on a rampage through the Nexus like when the Queen went to Unimatrix Zero.

Seriously though, if anybody ever wanted the nexus they could easily fly to it. Picard is not a key to the nexus in any way. Guinan or Kirk would be just as easily available if this were the case.

 

A weapon they can only use every 39.1 years?

 

How? Better off using WARP 10.

 

… and when

And when is it due back? Perhaps summon it to swallow the fleet?

 

2410.

And really, how does one weaponize a spacial anomaly that causes you to fantasize about having the life you’ve always wanted?
