Energy Dampening vs Borg

[Teaos]

Meh I think it was just a bit of dumb luck that the Klingon ships could with stand it.

[Sionnach Glic]

It was dumb luck that they had the solution already in their hands.

[Mark]

I agree. It was a complete fluke. A costly fluke for the Dominion, but a fluke nevertheless. That unnamed engineer should be inducted into the order of Kahless.

[Sionnach Glic]

Hell, he was probably long dead by that point.

[Mark]

Bet he doesn't even get a statue.

[Bryan Moore]

Sure, made of Tritium.

[Mark]

I wonder if Klingon's would like statues made out of latinum???

[Teaos]

Isnt latinum liquid?

[Sionnach Glic]

Given that we've heard of latinum bars, I'd say they're metal.

[Captain Seafort]

We've heard of gold-pressed latinum bars, but the fact that Morn was able to regugitate it pretty easilly strongly suggests that latinum itself is liquid at room temperature.

[Mikey]

I thought that they were "gold-pressed" because latinum itself was liquid; the gold casing made them transportable.

[Sionnach Glic]

Ah, right.

[Mark]

Didn't Quark once talk to Odo about a latinum bucket???

[Captain Seafort]

"Latinum" and "gold-pressed latinum" seem to be frequently used interchangeably. The fact of latinum's liquid state suggests that this is merely verbal shorthand rather than a literal statement.

[Mark]

Ok..........that makes sense. I halfway thought that latinum could be solidified as well, but I guess that IS solidifying it in pressed gold
