[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] [QUOTE] The only thing I can think of is that the nanoprobes weren't functioning very well because of the original drone's deep freeze. But that's a stretch. Is there some other reason you can come up with? [/QUOTE]I vote for the Denobulan super-immune system. I'm sure there are other races who would be assimilate almost immediately and others that might hold off the infection for days or weeks. I don't imagine that the Klingon Borg seen in ST:FC was easy to assimilate, especially give the Klingons' redundant organs and apparently robust physiology. [QUOTE] Captain Amasov and USS Endeavour? [/QUOTE]Correct, but there is a chance that the Endeavour was the sole survivor of Wolf 359. Of course that is mere conjecture. [QUOTE] Makes sense: the Federation has launched thousands of ships and lost dozens without explanation (or at least not comfirmed explanation anyway). [/QUOTE]Indeed, for all we know the Hera, the Proxima, the Maryland or the Sarajevo could have been assimilated. Well not the Sarajevo since that ship supposedly made it back. [QUOTE] The Hansen's description may have been pure hearsay or telemetry from deep space probes [/QUOTE]Could be, but I'm more inclined to belive that the El Aurians would want to warn the Federation about the force that destroyed their world. [QUOTE] The thing I hate about the "starfleet knew all along" is that it makes for a crappy "X-Files" kind of thing in Starfleet. [/QUOTE]I wouldn't exactly call it a conspiracy, simply classified information that anyone with a high enough clearance can access. the only conspiracy would be the imperative to protect the timeline and uphold the Temporal Prime Directive. After all Starfleet would have a fairly limited ammount of information up until the events of BOBW. All they would know that there is a dangerous and technologically advanced, cybernetic species out there that flys around in cube shaped vessels, are generally hostile, capable of time travel and thought to have or will have a particular interest in Earth. I'm sure Starfleet has dozens of such reports marked "may cause the destruction of civilisation as we know it". [QUOTE] Q really didint do anyone any big favors: The Borg probably were not intrested in immeadately assimilating the (comparativly) low-tech Federation untill the Enterprise demonstrated a super velocity drive far superior to Transwarp at the J system: the Borg could'nt have known that Q had saved the ship, they only saw something very useful to assimilate. [/QUOTE]As I recally the Borg seamed pretty intent on assimilating the Enterprise before Q clicked his fingers. So the circa 2360's Federation technology must have been interesting enough for them to bother with. Plus a Galaxy Class Starship is quite a step up from an old 2350's survey vessel. The Super-Transwarp-Q-Drive would just have been the iceing on the cake. [/QB][/QUOTE]
