[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] The [i]Enterprise[/i]'s mission in "The [i]Enterprise[/i] Incident" was in fact to STEAL the design for a NEWLY-IMPROVED/UPRATED Romulan cloaking device that Starfleet had learned was in development. They had found out about the Romulans' cloak two seasons earlier in "Balance of Terror." It is in fact true that in that episode the crew reacted to the Romulan cloak as if it were a totally new concept to them, but of course "Minefield" has retconned this. This is in fact one of the VERY few true continuity errors of any consequence that have been seen so far on ENT. But, IMHO, it probably makes more sense that the Romulans had at least primitive cloaking technology during the War period, rather than it being a totally new invention in the post-War isolation as implied in BoT. It's probably fairly easy to re-interpret BoT to mean that the cloak the Romulan vessel in that episode had was simply a more advanced form of the technology than existed in the 2150s. (Perhaps not so easily detected as the cloaks in "Minefield" were.) -[b]MMoM[/b] :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
