[QUOTE]Originally posted by Siegfried: [QB] I suppose that they could have done that, but the saucer was designed with separation with the purpose of getting the entire crew to safety whether the danger is a battle or core breach. There was evidently time for the crew in the stardrive section to make their way either down to the lifeboats (which are on the ventral side of that hull) or up to the saucer. I don't think shuttlecraft were a viable alternative. One of the stardrive shuttle bays (I think it was 3) had it's door blasted. You can see this when the saucer seperates. Then, you only have Shuttle Bay 2. Add to that the time needed to prep all the shuttles for launch, raise them from the hangar to the bay, and to load the shuttles, then I think you exceed the five minute limit. We saw how massive the explosion was how it damaged the saucer's reaction control system. What would that have done to the crew members who had to climb from deck 25 in the neck down to deck 40 to reach the lifeboat? The lifeboat would have been caught in the same explosion and (quite probably) may not have withstood the explosion. Taking all of this into account as well as Geordi's five minute warning, he believed it was a prudent move to go ahead and move the crew to the saucer because it can withstand more than the lifeboats. Had there not been the time to do it, he probably would have ordered the saucer to immediately detach and have the stardrive crew try and save themselves. A lot of people (probably including the school children) would not have made it. [/QB][/QUOTE]
