[QUOTE]Originally posted by Futurama Guy: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [qb] 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? [/qb][/QUOTE]IIRC in FC, the sensors being down was also mentioned as the reason why or how or when the Borg got on board the E-E... As far as the warp ship...it was classified as a 'transport' and it [i]did[/i] appear to have 'skis', so perhaps it may be overkill, or to answer your other question, the base (camp) was temporary and did contain some elaborate elements (i.e. a tracked snow plow, and many tents and equiptment) and it may have been enlisted to transport the components (both thiers and what was recovered) from the arctic to, say, San Fran or even to Vulcan...so there is a plausable explaination for the need of such a ship. Warp drive may have been overkill...but maybe SF is just 'warp happy' once they got it... [/QB][/QUOTE]
