If Lore (Brent Spiner) tries to assemble another army in Hugh (Jonathan Del Arco), who were severed from the Collective.
Lore could possibly want another gang of followers in Star Trek: Picard season 3, and season 1 introduced two sets of likely android candidates. The first would be the A500 androids (played by Alex Diehl) who used by Commodore Oh (Tamlyn Tomita) to attack Mars in 2385. The A500s were worker machines built by the Daystrom Institute with limited artificial intelligence compared to Lore or Data. It's unclear whether the A500 were destroyed after the Mars tragedy, but if they weren't, they'd be an easy conquest for Lore. But perhaps an even better option for Lore would be the synthetics who live on Coppelius. These synthetics were built from one of Data's recovered positronic engrams, and they're more advanced and powerful than the A500s. Lore could very likely sway them into becoming his followers.
Lore Would Be The Best Use Of Picard Season 1's Synthetics
Even though Isa Briones isn't returning as Soji in Star Trek: Picard season 3, the synthetics who live on Coppelius are still around. Star Trek: Picard season 2's lone update about them is through Soji, who travels the galaxy as their ambassador. But with Soji away, the synthetics lack a leader, and Lore could easily swoop in and coerce them to do his bidding. Taking out Dr. Bruce Maddox (John Ales) and Dr. Altan Inigo Soong (Brent Spiner), if they're also still on Coppelius, would easy for Lore.
Lore being resurrected to become the leader of the synthetics of Coppelius would be fitting in a few ways. If Data is their "father," in a sense, then those androids are all Lore's "nieces and nephews." The synthetics are also advanced and powerful; Lore could turn them into a formidable army, Just as importantly, Lore taking over the synthetics would allow for the concept that was largely abandoned after Star Trek: Picard season 1 to be used, at last. It's in Lore's playbook to want his own followers, and the synthetics on Coppelius fit the bill nicely since they're already directly connected to himself and Data.
Could Lore Also Reassemble B4 (And Why)
Meanwhile, Star Trek: Picard season 1 established that B-4 remains disassembled at the Daystrom Institute in Okinawa. B-4 was introduced in Star Trek: Nemesis as a previous and defective android predecessor to Data and Lore. "not much like Data at all," according to Dr. Agnes Jurati (Allison Pill), but he remains valuable because Lore could strip mine his "older brother" for spare parts, or to create his own synthetics the way Soji and Dahj were created. Lore has never met B-4, but the simplistic android is a physical link to Data and to his creator, Dr. Noonien Soong. Lore could also reassemble B-4 and use him as a weapon. Star Trek: Picard has plenty of androids for Lore to take advantage of in season 3, and it would also provide closure to these characters and concepts.
