Does it matter if it's
possibly your crew vs the aliens? Does it matter if you're quite confident your crew will survive the encounter if you save the aliens (just blowing the array and bugging out), but you aren't so sure about survival at all if you risk screwing them? (trying to fight off the Kazon for a few hours and then see what happens when you try to use the now heavily damaged array.)

Hey! wait a minute! Getting pulled in messed them up bad didn't it? They took heavy damage and something like half the crew died. And that was when the caretaker was running the thing AND the array was undamaged AND voyager was in full working order.
So your options are. Take a risk of losing your ship totally to the kazon, risk screwing the ocampa, risk totally blowing yourself up when the damaged array tries to transport you, and if everything works right you kill half your crew?
That doesn't sound like a very good deal at all!
