[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] O'Brien's stint in an officer position on the Rutledge could be explained by attrition: in "The Wounded", he says he beamed down to defend part of the Setlik III colony against surface assault, and in "Armageddon Game", he says he barely managed to save his captain and a bunch of others by repairing a field transporter on Setlik III. So we might speculate that, as was typical for many starship captains, Maxwell beamed down with a big bunch of his senior officers. The Cardassians then killed a number of them, depriving the Rutledge (a ship smaller than the Voyager) of key personnel. O'Brien stood in until a starbase could be reached - partially as a reward for his heroics. The stint at E-D battle section helm could also be due to personnel shortages - the ship was missing many key officers, after all. Aboard DS9, however, O'Brien did command a number of officers. Both Neela and Anara, the first-season assassin and her predecessor, seemed to be Ensigns, and so were many of the uncredited Starfleet extras doing O'Brien's bidding. One or two such exceptions I could understand, especially in a fuzzy joint command structure like that, but it became pretty unrealistic after a while. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
