    Those head Iconians seem to embody certain characteristics of certain Species, sure why not.. that red one is obviously a future Klingon... one of them is diplomatic and fair... the other is manipulative... Oh MY!!!!

    Impossible, we're destined to become Q so why would we become something as puny as an iconian.
    Not to mention, would the iconians not have knowledge of being descendants of normal (human) beings and as such would they not know better than NOT to eradicate themselves by eradicating those pesky humans etc.​​
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    So the iconians are us time travelling? I thought they can't do that- wait I know!

    they forgot they were us when they time traveled. that's why they're trying to murder us.

    "He shall be my finest warrior, this generic man who was forced upon me.
    Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
    he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
    In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
    He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
    He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
    He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
    He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."

    Maybe they are us from a "alternate timeline", or something like the "mirror universe" :p

    this would actually make sense in some way. but it would be kind of horrific twist cause it doesnt fit all we know about iconians and preservers and the two separate attempts of spreadign life. afa we k, iconians were the triblle testing of life, while we are the holodeck versions.

    war for self protection made them thinking they have to eliminate everything but them, to be "absolutely safe" - like the dominion thinks it has to control everyone to be ultimately safe.
