[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Malnurtured Snay: [qb] [QUOTE]Do you believe Picard's interest in the Iconians clouded his judgement? I doubt it. Picard had more info to go on that Varley did, and they acted for the same reasons -- to prevent the technology from falling into the hands of the Romulans. [QUOTE][/qb][/QUOTE]The romulans only started snooping around beacuse a Federation GCS violated the Neutral Zone. They were'nt looking for Iconia: varley never said they were: The Romulans spotted him in the NZ and gave chase. If a Chinese ship was snooping around an island near American waters we's be curious as to why too. ;) Picard had no options after reading Varley's log: The log made clear that the Romulans were onto him and the Warbird did see the federation's greatest class of warship go boom over a world that inside the NZ. It would'nt have taken them very long to re-trace the Yamato's course (even if they had'nt tapped into the logs' transmissions). By the time Picard became involved it was either continue Varley's mission or definitely allow the romulans to have the tech. The NZ had been in place for at least 100 years without anyone finding Iconia so what was the rush to violate treaty? [/QB][/QUOTE]
