[QUOTE]Originally posted by Harry: [QB] I've made a short summary while rewatching all three relevant episodes ('-' is BoBW info, '+' is from "Emissary") http://fleetyard.host.sk/temp/wolf359.txt A few things I noticed: - Hanson returns to Starbase 324 after Jouret IV. There is no evidence that he was aboard any ship at all until he suddenly appears on a GCS battle bridge. When he appeared before the 'standard Federation background' he was most likely still on SB 324. That would also fit better with him saying "the fleet have mobilised at Wolf 359", instead of something like "we have mobilised". He probably transferred to a ship after this conversation. - Emissary most definitely starts right as fleet engages the Borg. The Cube does NOT in fact start with their usual line, but actually command the fleet to escort them to Earth, or be destroyed. That's not something you say halway through as an afterthought. And indeed, the Vulcan captain gives all the standard beginning-of-battle orders. Although, of course, there could have been several seperate groups of ships destroyed before and after the Saratoga group engaged. - Seemingly only minutes after contacting Enterprise, Hanson says the fight is not going well. Possibly this communication was only made after an initial strike, since there wouldn't be much time to chat during actual fighting. - He starts ordering a regrouping right before communications black out. This NOT because his ship was destroyed, but 'probably due to Borg interference', as Riker puts it. This would also explain why we see NONE of the regrouping Hanson ordered was seen in "Emissary": all communications were jammed. - Hanson was most likely not on an Excelsior class, and most certainly not on the Melbourne. The Melbourne actually engaged the Cube <em>before</em> the Saratoga did. What kind of admiral fights in the front-line!? - On what ship was Hanson? It couldn't have been the Excelsi-bourne. That ship got destroyed right away, and there would've been no time to make the call to Enterprise. Yet, it must have been one of the early engaged ships, since his ship was hit once during his short talk with Riker. Possible options: - He was on the Bellerophon. That would explain the use of the Enterprise battle bridge. - He was on the Yamaguchi. That would explain the oldfashioned Alert display. - He was on another ship that attacked shortly after Yamaguchi and Bellerophon. Possibly a Galaxy class. [/QB][/QUOTE]
