[QUOTE]Originally posted by HerbShrump: [QB] I searched through [URL=http://www.st-minutiae.com/academy/literature329/fc.txt]the script[/URL] and nothing indicates they used the deflector to return home. In fact, from a quick scan, I didn't see any technobabble explaination of HOW they generated the temporal vortex to return home. As for what the main deflector dish is for, here is an excerpt from the script: [QUOTE] RIKER What are they doing? WORF They appear to be modifying the deflector dish. TROI To do what? If they wanted a weapon, they could've taken over a phaser bank or torpedo bay... RIKER Deflector dish... why the deflector dish...? WORF It doesn't make sense. The deflector is only used for shielding and long range sensors... Riker stares at the screen... notices something. RIKER Computer -- magnify grid twenty- one alpha. The image on the Viewscreen ZOOMS IN to a specific point on the deflector dish, giving us a clear view of two Borg who have opened a gigantic panel on the dish. They appear top be modifying power conduits in some fashion. WORF They're re-routing the deflector power conduits... RIKER Computer -- thermal enhancement. The image now is overlaid with an INFRARED VIEW of what they're doing. The power conduits are glowing bright red, very hot -- we can see the heat signature travel back behind the dish and connect to a corkscrew-shaped coil, which is pulsing. RIKER They're connecting the conduits to subspace communications... WORF (realizing) They're converting the deflector dish into an antennae...[/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
