I guess it’s also worth considering whether getting vaporized in one shot both A) allows them any time at all in which to analyze, determine an adaptation, and transmit…and B) allows for any meaningful adaptation to be even conceived.
I’m sort of seeing this as the “Dodge this.” scene in the Matrix…and honestly, as long as the DS never leaves a survivor, and shoots first, it wins any and every 1v1.
On the other hand, if there is even one extra cube present, I would think its powers of observation would at least let it start working out an adaptation. Also, eventually, the DS, being run by imperials, is going to decide to play with a cube. Try to learn about it, capture it, etc. Once that happens, the odds shift dramatically against it.
