Did V'Ger Come From The Borg

“V’Ger will comply”; doesn’t this sound familiar? It certainly reminds me of the Borg Collective. The language patterns of the Ilea probe in TMP (The Motion Picture) are not the only thing that points to Borg involvement in the transformation of Voyager VI in to V’Ger. It is stated in the movie that Voyager VI was lost in “black hole “or wormhole type phenomena, and probably emerged of the other side of the galaxy, presumably the Gamma or Delta quadrants, where the Collective is located, where it fell into orbit around a “machine planet”, which is actually an apt description of what the Borg Home World would look like, since the Borg are a very mechanized. The inhabitants of this planet interpreted its programming literally, just as the Borg would, and built a ship for that actually allowed it to fulfill its mission. It is also suggested in TMP that the “Machine Beings found Voyager VI to be primitive, but kindred. This is not at all surprising considering that one of the main directives of the collective, amassing as much knowledge as possible, is the same as the directive of Voyager VI. The two differ only in methodology. Voyager VI, amassed knowledge by recording data, and the Borg did so by assimilating other races. In fact once Voyager was transformed into V’Ger, it essentially “assimilated” everything it came into contact with into its memory banks and holographic arrays, only instead of assimilation it was termed as “data patterning” The advanced technology of the ship itself also points to Borg involvement as they are the only “Machine People” who were technologically advanced enough to construct such a ship. Some may argue that if Voyager VI had come into contact with the Borg, then they would have tried to assimilate Earth as soon as they learned about humanity’s existence from the probe. However this is not necessarily the case. In the TNG episode Descent, Lore mentions that the Borg’s ultimate goal is total mechanization, they, apparently, see it as a state of total perfection; a god of sorts. Furthermore in TMP it is mentioned that V’Ger thinks of its creator as a machine. It is possible that the Borg might have originally planted the idea of mechanical divinity in its memory banks. Because of the Borg’s believing that total mechanization is a state of complete perfection it is very possible that the Borg would have considered the machines they believed crated Voyager VI kindred, primitive, but equal, instead of a biological source of drones. Most all of the aspects of the V’Ger probe are similar to the Borg in some way. In fact many are practly identical. Therefore, because of these similarities it can be concluded that V'ger probably came into existence due to the Borg Collective.
