I could not recall any other verbs off the top of my head. There may be better ones than {'oS}.

This just doesn't say the same thing. The original was saying "Take our non-arrival as a sign that we were attacked," i.e., "Here is how to interpret our non-arrival", maybe implying that we want to arrive so badly, that only an attack would stop us. This just says "If we aren't attacked, we will arrive," a simple statement of fact, like "If it doesn't rain, we'll have a picnic."
