    The only flaw being, if one is a dud, or if the Kazon somehow manage to disable one in time, now you’ve given the Kazon extremely advanced weaponry and altered the balance of power in that part of space

      then put multiple tricobalt devices on there. dozens. however many it takes until there’s enough to satisfy your silly theoretical “what ifs”

      but, remember: when the Kazon got their hands on replicator tech, the worst they ended up doing is turning themselves inside-out and half-fused with metal. I’m not too worried about what would happen if they got half-exploded Caretaker tech. They’d prbably turn themselves into a folksy barbeque.

        Hindsight is a powerful tool left to those who cant use it.

        Which is to say, Janeway the slayer had no idea how ineffective Berman would make the Kazon, so she acted in a selfless way.

        If she knew how sparse coffee would be and how “Borgish” it would get, I wouldn’t be surprised if she did take the chance.

      and altered the balance of power in that part of space

      So the Kazon end up going up against the Borg?

      I’m not seeing a downside here…
