[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Phoenix: [qb] I think that the fact Janeway doesn't mention how the Endeavour encountered the Borg is an important factor here.[/qb][/QUOTE]That's what I was trying to say. If Janeway is equating another captain with Picard concerning experiences with the Borg, then he's got to be pretty famous. I also take serious issue with the idea of other skirmishes with the Borg taking place -- with Starfleet hearing about them, anyway. Consider that both times we saw the Borg in TNG after BOBW, it came as a major shock and was treated as a serious threat. Heck, Starfleet had a whole fleet running around on the border when the colonies were threatened following the single attack in "Descent." I find it hard to believe that Starfleet knew that any Borg were snooping around their borders, if there really were Borg scouts on a regular basis at all. Not to mention that between "Q Who?" and BOBW, it was as if Starfleet hadn't heard anything from the Borg at all. That was why Starfleet thought they had more time to prepare, after all. Therefore, if any Starfleet ships were met by the Borg, either before or after BOBW, had to have been out of contact and were destroyed or assimilated entirely. Which means that Captain Amasov was most likely a survivor of Wolf 359, commanding the ship that got away. Because I somehow doubt that Janeway was looking for inspiration from desk-bound analysts who were just reacting to the casualty numbers afterwards... Also, I think that the casualties would've been pretty high aboard most every ship. On a related topic, there's one thing that no one's brought up directly, but has been mentioned many times -- the fact that the Borg assimilated lots of Starfleet people at the battle. So, that means that all those wrecks we saw didn't have very many corpses in them... because a few hours previously there were Borg wandering through their corridors. So, if whichever ship Hanson was on wasn't vaporized outright, then we could've seen a pair of mechanized arms reaching onto the screen to grab poor Admiral J.P. at one point. (Yeah yeah, the transmission was jammed...) [/QB][/QUOTE]
