[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] [QUOTE]If Amisov and the Endeavour had been there, the only things he'd have been able to write would later either be "OK, I admit it, I turned tail and got the hell out of there, but only after half my crew had been assimilated in their beds or "Fuck, was I lucky! No other way to explain it. God only knows how we survived."[/QUOTE]Uh... no. If whatever fleet remnants were left after the main part of the battle was over realized that it was hopeless, I think that they would certainly form up and try to rescue as many survivors as possible and try to get them the hell away from the battle. And there are two mitigating factors to explain the Endeavour's survival as part of that rescue: (1) the Nebula-class ship was relatively big and probably had the most space available for survivors (barring a GCS, which would've already been destroyed if one was there), and (2) other surviving Starfleet ships would have provided cover fire as the Endeavour escaped with a hangar bay full of escape pods and survivors. (Possibly the other active ships beamed a lot of the crew off before they made the last suicidal run, assuming that was possible under the circumstances.) In this scenario, the Borg would've been trying to wipe out the last bit of resistance while also assimilating the rest of the survivors in any of the wrecked ships. And when the Endeavour managed to escape into warp, they simply decided not to pursue, either because there were more potential assimilation victims among the remaining wreckage, or because chasing down that one ship would take too long when they were heading straight for Earth first. Janeway would never have quoted Amasov if he hadn't been a hero against the Borg. So he couldn't have been running away as things were going wrong. And "lucky" implies a lack of situational awareness (even in retrospect) that I would hate to ascribe to any Starfleet captain. The Borg are too thorough in their attacks (Voyager notwithstanding, of course :rolleyes: ) to have just ignored the one surviving ship. [/QB][/QUOTE]
