[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Good question. Perhaps goes to explain why the Drones went down so easily? Their shielding might have been of superb late 24th century standard, but it was running on minimal power... Random comments: I think Futurama Guy got it exactly right by calling the Enterprise a scout. That's what fast ships ought to do - check out the obvious targets and decide whether to send a research team there at warp 1.8 or not. Using the scout to do the research would be just as stupid as sneing the research team out there for a three-year journey when it wasn't certain whether there would be anything interesting there... As for the E-E not spotting the debris, dialogue indicates the sensors were down. To assess damage to the launch site of the Phoenix, they had to send an away team. Later on, they had priorities other than sensor repairs... Probably the Sphere fragments were simply buried in ice for a century. It's still very odd that an arctic research team would have a starship. It's much like Cousteau operating from an aircraft carrier - not merely overkill, but also profoundly pointless. What good would warp drive do them? Perhaps the team had the ship standing by in order to spirit the findings off Earth ASAP, to hide them from somebody. The Vulcans, perhaps? It didn't sound as if the Arctic base was a permanent Starfleet or commercial starport, right? Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
