According to the Memory Alpha episode summary for ST:DS9 "Paradise:"
Following the runaway Rio Grande in the Orinoco, Kira and Dax work on a way to catch it. Kira plots an intercept course and plans to beam over, but Dax looks for a better idea. She begins configuring the runabout's controls and claims she can use "an old rope trick" she once learned from a Hopi.
Why couldn't they have linked into the Rio Grande's computer and dropped it out of warp? Is this an example of script writers forgetting established technology?
