    1. I think this can easily be handwaved away since the scenario is artificial in the first place.
    2. Odds are it’ll take a few days or possible weeks of travel to rondevu with the Constellation.

      1. Yeah it could be, but still - it was unneccessary. Just having a close orbit would have given the same amount of extra (unneeded) drama.

      2. That would just make it even worse that they were dicking around instead though?

        1. Yeah. They waste at least 2 days trying to get Ortega back when maybe they should have just accepted the calculated loss. They even risked the Enterprise in a very dangerous maneuver to force open the wormhole. All around it is a bad call from Pike, but it’s pretty on brand for Starfleet Captains to put an individual over the needs of the many. It’s why Vulcan captains probably suck.
