So, once again, it is better to use a phaser. You can come back and vaporize them. Borg healing isn't instantaneous, so you got a little time.
Almost smacks of Fundie Logic (a contradiction in terms). I wonder how these people function in real life sometimes.Darth Wong wrote:Must be great to arbitrarily invent unlimited capabilities at will. I also like the mentality that "A must be capable of B unless you can prove that B is impossible". Lovely logic.

But hey, they can eventually pick themselves up and dust themselves off.
Apparently, no matter how well trained a soldier is, his only chance of survival against a Borg is to piss in his pants and run like hell.The best way to avoid a blow, or a borg drone's injection tubules, is to not be there. Therefore, you move your ass. Any fighting teacher that never says that is a monumental dumbass. You must have this 'put them on a pedestal' view of 'competent soldier worth his salt'.
Again, what? There's a big differnece between running in abject fear (poor Enterprise-E crewmen in First Contact) and simply moving to another position. In any even, a competent SWAT team or equivalent wouldn't have a Borg come anywhere near them, and would have no reason to give ground.
Yeah that is where it comes from. The episode is "Mortal Coil".ggs wrote:I'm fairly sure this claim comes from when Seven resurrected that anoying bad cook/moral officer they had on Voyager.
So it is a stretch to think that just because the nanoprobes can repair brain damage caused by "protomatter", that they could repair bullet wounds. IIRC, Neelix had no visible physical trauma, or at the most superficial trauma that could be repaired with a dermal regenerator anyway. The seventy-two hours thing could be misleading. For all we know, the people in the shuttle kept Neelix's body in stasis, and so did the Doctor. Since Neelix's body didn't stink, they probably preserved it somehow.VOY Mortal Coil wrote: PARIS: He's dead. No heart beat, no synaptic response, extensive cell damage to his brain.
CHAKOTAY: Try a cortical stimulator.
PARIS: It won't work. His neural pathways were disrupted by the protomatter.

SEVEN: That's precisely what I'm saying. The Borg have assimilated species with far greater medical knowledge than your own. We are capable of reactivating drones as much as seventy three hours after what you would call death.
I'm not so sure about this, because drones already have nanoprobes floating around in their bloodstream. Nevertheless, the point is that there is no evidence drones come back from the dead.Naturally the fucktard leaves out the part about another borg drone is needs to inject the nanoprobes.
Well, to be fair to the valiant crewmen of the Enterprise-E, Picard did order "go hand-to-hand", and the security chief had a big cut on his face as if he went hand-to-hand. They probably did use their phaser rifles like baseball bats, but blunt trauma can only go so far and the Borg swing their arms like baseball bats too. Bat'leth's wouldn't have helped, because Bat'leths aren't sharp. They needed swords, or big knives. Or guns.Augustus Caesar wrote:Really makes you wonder why they didn't replicate a few dozen bat'leths and let Worf give lessons. Hell, why didn't they just replicate baseball bats?

Man, I never knew punching somebody was not a kinetic energy attack! I wonder what it is then.....What physical attacks? The holodeck doesn't qualify. What remains? Blades, fists... low velocity physical attacks. Not kinetic attacks.
That's pretty much a standard response of his. I honestly wouldn't waste my time. I've gotten into arguments with him about shit that is so obvious, yet he will go round and round with you until you just get sick of it and stop.The Kernel wrote:Get a load of this:
