[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE] As for Picard not "making that mistake" - how many times has Picard ignored his own orders? Let's see, in "First Contact" he breaks off the Neutral Zone patrol, and in "Insurrection" he, well, leads an insurrection against the Federation (in a manner of speaking). You're right - Picard wouldn't have made that mistake, because it wasn't a mistake. It was the correct course of action [/QUOTE]Okay, Let us just say that picard of First Season TNG would not have acted that way. ;) By First Contact he's either full of himself after countless impossible victories, from Krypton or thinks Q will save him (for what, the THIRD time?!?). :D [QUOTE] And up until Varley figured out where Iconia was, the same held true for the Federation. But the second one of 'em figures out where the planet is, how long could it be until the other side figures it out? Probably not too long. Besides, what are the Romulans going to do in response to a ship entering the Zone (and I might add, let's not forget THEY had a ship prowling around the same area at the same time too ... coincidence? Hmmmm)? [/QUOTE]Or they have cloaked sensor relays in the Zone to warn of intruders: they hate the klingons AND the Federation, so that's what I'd do- and sent the Warbird after the Yamato's detection. God only knows how Varley managed to elude the Warbird's sensors at all, so it's possible they just let him think he'd got away and followed him under cloak. they were taping Yamato's computer feed and were in the system observing when Yamato blew up after all. ;) You make good arguments as to urgency but Varley could also have misled the Romulans AWAY from Iconia by replicating that do-dah he had and left it on planets leading AWAY from the Zone. :D That's kinda what picard and company did in [i]The Pegasus.[/i] [/QB][/QUOTE]
