Today Gilberto Simpson walked on stage, wiggled said hiney and 
spoke to the members of alt.tv.star-trek.voyager:

GS :Since the crew can apparently let themselves get "assimilated" while
GS :remaining aware of who they are, why don't they just find a single
GS :isolated cube, let the immune kid get "assimilated" and infect the cube,
GS :and then take its transwarp drive and go home?

They already tried something like that. In "Dark Frontier" Janeway stole 
the transwarp drive from a Cube. Later in "Timeless" they try it out but
it only crashes them into an ice planet, killing everyone.

GS :While we are at it, why didn't they stay at that fast planet a few more
GS :weeks (i.e. thousands and thousands of years to the people on the planet)
GS :and ask them to come up with a fast mode of transportation. If they wanted

After Voyager being stuck in orbit for millenia, I doubt the beings would
be so eager to help someone who's been watching them.

GS :to be sticklers about the Prime Directive, they could have even waited a
GS :day or two for them to discover warp drive before openly making contact.

They already invented warp. That's how they freed Voyager.
