[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] At best he jumped the gun: The Romulans had no Iconian artifacts to go on and there was no mention of them investigating at all: they were'nt looking for Iconia (for all we know, archeology is a lost art to them) and as pointed out, the Neutral Zone stood for centuries without them searching that desolate planet. Varley could have coordinated with Picard and Starfleet instead of risking a instellar war with the Romulans and getting his crew killed without cause. Remember: the Romulans were not looking for Iconia. [b]The romulans only started snooping around beacuse a Federation GCS violated the Neutral Zone.[/b] By violating the treaty, Varley caused the Romulans to investigate the Iconians. What would varley have done if the Iconian homeworld was deep inside Romulan space? The same thing. He would have started a war on the unfounded assumption that there was useful tech left over from thousands of years ago. That, to me, is the sign of a poor captain. (yes I know Picard does almost the same stupid thing later on but there is no risk of instellar war in that sorry episode.) [/QB][/QUOTE]
