[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] Except that the <em>whole point</em> of that episode was that the informant was offering some major, major intelligence about the Dominion. [URL=http://www.st-minutiae.com/academy/literature329/540.txt]From the script:[/URL] [QUOTE][I have] Information about the Founders... I know how many of them are in the Alpha Quadrant... where they are... and what they're doing.[/QUOTE]Considering how much damage the Founders must have been doing in disruption and sabotage, that would've freed up an incredible amount of resources in terms of personnel and time to let the Federation and the Klingons go on the offensive. In contrast, suffering 50% casualties on the two-person extraction team would be a very small price to pay. Picard, for example, would never have approved of Worf's decision; sure, he would've probably called a staff briefing to debate the issue, at the very least (kidding, kidding) but the end result would be the same. Trade the life of one Starfleet officer who knew her duty and was willing to sacrifice herself for the greater good, in exchange for information that would ensure the safety of thousands, if not millions of fellow officers, not to mention put a severe dent in the enemy's covert offensives. As Garak once said, "I don't know about you, but I'd call that a bargain." [/QB][/QUOTE]
