[QUOTE="Janx, post: 7903573, member: 8835"] I'd be against that bet. I expect Maddox to be obsessed with perfecting synthetic life and that's pretty much it. He vanished because of the Mars incident and the ban against his work. He's a victim of politics, not the cause. Whoever used the synthetics, did so as a means to an end. Perhaps to slow down Federation ship-building, and to remove a chunk of workforce (synthetics). That would fit a Romulan objective, to strengthen their position in the galaxy. Especially important as so many Romulans are learning to be nice as they integrate into their rescuers society. Setting up an us vs. them (as with the interviewer) might be valuable to light a fire under Romulans who've become too trusting. --- Now one thing that puzzles me, for both humans and Romulans. In the 24th century, they are very distributed to other worlds. Why is losing Romulus or Mars such a setback? Sure, it's terrible. But life goes on. You can evacuate people to other star systems within you own territory. You can build another shipyard. Is this a flaw in the writers' mindset or am I missing something that 18 years couldn't have adapted to. [/QUOTE]
