"And their signal originated in the… Alpha Quadrant." How can you know that? Subspace signals relayed through a probe stuck inside a micro-wormhole carry spatial coordinates indicating their origins? They keep referring to analysis of the other ship's "hailing frequency" as if hailing frequencies are location-specific. Sometimes, Trek writers don't seem to think about what they imply with the technobabble they insert into their scripts.
Well, this is where "Joe" started. Takes him 33 years, but the Doctor gets his name eventually…
@dgw if you try to use 2017 science on a 2300s story written in 1995, obviously it won't work. People in old centuries never even thought of things we have now. They'd say its blasphemy, makes no sense, like Quantum stuffs.
