Well, obviously there were no guarantees. Still, at this point, there was also no way to do anything more than to ease as much risk as possible. And although the entire crew winced almost as one at the idea of losing Kirk, Spock and McCoy to another universe...
Scott nodded to Uhura and replied:
"No guarantees, sir. Provided this temporal anomaly doesna dissolve, should we be able to repair our sensor arrays and get back, we likely could pull them back. But if one of 'em dies in transport over there, I'm told we'll lose them all anyway. The safest thing we can do is send McCoy, and hope for the best. Regardless, sir, so long as the three of them survive, then at least there's a possibility they can return in the future, even if we lose this particular anomaly."
