And there is nothing to suggest power was damaged, assuming that it has taken damage and is holding from this lowered state would be just that an additional assumption.
Worf's statement suggests that repairs were coming along as scheduled, and that beyond the sudden environmental controls acting wonky in a minor way. They do not show repairs to have been finished.
Sigh. My case is that there is a relatively diverse body of evidence that if not 100% clear cut collectively build a case of no one acting like the Enterprise has suffered serious damage. That to assume they all are failing to mention it, that they are speaking around it is an uneeded assumption. I believe I have sufficently brought evidence to that effect I see little else that can be accomplished. Now if you have additional evidence that the ship was still suffering damage that would be differnt but as it is now we are just going in a circle.
Your argument that the Enterprise-E was not beyond repair or getting worse is silly because the ship would have been abandoned if it was,
Your argument. You require the ship to be in such rotten shape basic systems such as shields, which would help not pollute the time stream further, were off line or could be easily surmized to be by La Forge or Riker.
Shields aren't up at all the time. That means that they could be down for most of the movie, and still be fixed.
So now you are arguing the ship simply had its shields down, risking detection by whatever means 21th century Earth posses, and Rike and La Forge assume this is the case without ever commenting on it?
Picard's statement only means that the shields of the Enterprise-E had been down when the Borg boarded the her.
He could have said our shields are down/disabled. By saying "were" he anchors it into a past action ie traveling backwards in time. While not conclusive it is suggestive and you have not provided anything concrete to prove your assumptions.
