[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] There's also an additional fudge factor (mmm... fudge...) in what Dougherty and Picard say. First they discuss how the Romulans were transformed from harmless to harmful by their acquisition of warp drive. Then the discussion moves on to the Son'a. And THEN Dougherty says "we can handle the Son'a". To which Picard: "I bet somebody said that about the Romulans a century ago". So in fact it could go like this: Good old days: Romulans terrorize their weakling neighbors using sublight ships. Other, stronger races laugh at them good-naturedly. 2086: Romulans get warp. 2133: Romulans fight with Earth, with pitiful weapons. Earth wins hands down, and Adm. Adama says "Don't worry, we can handle them." 2178: Romulans fight with Earth again, now with better weapons. Earth wins hands down with UFP help, and Adm. Bellson says "Don't worry, we can handle them." 2266: Romulans come out again, now with cloaks. Kirk defeats them, and Adm. Chavez says, "Don't worry, we can handle them." 2311: Romulans come out once more, and hit Tomed with something that scares Starfleet out of its pants. Adm. Donner says "Uh... You can start worrying now." Ever since, people have regretted that admirals A through C never eradicated the Romulans when they had the chance. The other end of the option spectrum is that somebody, perhaps even Earth, gave them warp exactly 100 years before "Insurrection" and has been regretting that ever since. And anything and everything between those is possible and even probable... Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
