If you haven’t heard of it, this island has a population that the world has collectively decided to leave alone, mostly because they have proven, on multiple occasions, that they absolutely do not want visitors. Like, arrow-to-death anyone attempting to land or even visit near their shores.
This probably cannot go on forever… but maybe, it could. Essentially, we are already implementing a ‘Prime Directive’ of sorts here. Would the 23rd, 24th, … centuries in Star Trek canon still have this little island on Earth, isolated from not just from Earth’s own unified Federation society, but from the greater Federation races? What steps would the Federation and Earth take to maintain their isolation and the ecosystem on which they depend?
Would make for an interesting episode, or at least a cool side-note reference in one :)
Ah jeeze. They have one of those stupid setups where if you scroll far enough you get to the next article transparently. And it actually changes the URL. I’d gotten to the end of tbe article I meant to post, but when I copied the URL it was for the next article.
Fixed the link.
Lol, I figured it was something like that. 😂 But romantic relationship style link was good stuff, too!
