We last saw the Undine when we defeated Cooper, but Tuvok's conversation with the Command Bioship seemed to imply that it was willing to help us in the upcoming fight. "
Together we are strong". It seemed to me that the Bioship was thinking up a plan of some sort, since it took Cooper and told him that he would be re-purposed. Are we ever going to find out what exactly its intentions are with Cooper? Is it going to help us fight the Iconians or not? The Undine were tricked by the Iconians and they're clearly the type to hold a major grudge, so why they're not taking the fight to the Iconians is a little weird.
I wonder if perhaps Tuvok is currently speaking with the Undine? They had searched for the Krenim but after they were discovered, Tuvok and the USS Voyager seemed to disappear. They haven't been around for any meeting with the Krenim and while this could be attributed to Tim Russ not being available, I don't think they need him for Tuvok to appear. Shon, Quinn, Jarok and others appeared recently without speaking, so it's not like he needs to speak in order to appear. I think his absence could be because he's busy with something else and opening up dialog with the Undine would be a good reason for him to be absent.
I suppose he could also be working with the rest of the Delta Alliance somewhere else as well. It would seem only Alpha Quadrant powers assaulted the Sphere, so maybe he was secretly using the Delta Alliance for another task while the Iconians focused their attention on defending their HQ? I like the Undine idea better though because out of all the species in the Star Trek universe who could be helpful, they would be number one. Well, maybe number two because I'd personally get in contact with the
Tkon portal to ask him some Iconian related questions.

Sry, didnt read the op - too drunk for that
You would think so, but the Dominion doesn't seem to care what happens to us. You would think they would, since we know the Iconians do intend to invade the Gamma Quadrant after they've dealt with us, but apparently they don't. Of course, it sounds as if Sela is currently in contact with the Dominion so something might be brewing behind the scenes on that front.
Hope you keep drinking into a more depressed stupor with tears of sadness

OP - I don't think Species 8472 wants to help. They're very isolationist and want to be left alone. There was a chance for them to pay back the Iconians when their deception was revealed. Instead of working something out with the Alliance for vengeance against the Iconians, they just took their stuff and went home to Fluidic Space. They're out of the picture.
Have you completed T5 Iconian Rep? I don't want to spoil it if you haven't, but the last messages give very obvious clues with Sela's end of things.
