What if Picard was On Trial by Q for Creating the Borg?

Well in Star Trek Destiny…
Humanity is fairly responsible for the creation of the borg and Q isn’t putting Picard on trial, he is putting humanity on trial so maybe Q is doing the trial because of the borg

that is how Q works.. Picard has been on trial and doesn't know what crime he Committed.only the crimes against humanity
Hi @Captdeckr , and welcome to the board!
Since you are new here, I just wanted to let you know that we can’t post story ideas in the TrekLit forum, because we have professional authors present. As such, we can’t really discuss these “what if” scenarios here, sorry.
As well, just a recommendation, but it is usually better to be a little more descriptive in your thread title, to give people a better sense of what the thread is about. I will update your title for you in this case.
Since we can’t really discuss this topic in this subforum, I am also going to move your thread to the TNG subforum for you.

The first post is extremely thin on content. Usually, more description is good for generating dialog. I’ll reluctantly open the thread for comment.
It's always the humans, small universe syndrome. Or, perhaps, when the humans create what kills them, it almost always feels corny and usurps the mystery out of this alien threat that's been around for far longer than humans but, all of a sudden, humans created it*. The shock jock moments get less and less impressive, making the Queen Borg's dialogue in STFC about limited "three-dimensional" thinking terms to Picard almost Olympiad Shakespearean by comparison, and that line in STFC was incredibly hokey too when it came to shoehorning in a new character retroactively. Can't get around every plot hole or convenience, that's true for any script, but the Borg adapting and creating the Queen as a response of the Locutus gambit failing, with possible reason being greater direction and efficiency (and thus trying one cube instead of flinging over two or a dozen definitely feels more in-character... even VOY, if i recall, had an episode where Borg dispatched two cubes to assimilate a civilization, which I believe the Queen ordered... yep, VOY elevated the Borg back, for a while.) Then again, maybe what I just opined is even lazier, since the Borg are known to adapt and the makers wanted to try to build on that but in a different way, eschewing the obvious, yet everything else was cut'n'paste rubber stamp cliché about them. Or felt cliché due to the by-the-numbers fanservice and hokey dialogue. Right down to one-liners that missed the mark.
* What next, if - say - The Orville had a 4th season they'd do a big reveal that the people who created the Kaylon were human too, pals of Gary Seven to match up with (our known) timeline and all? Ugh.
