The whole situation on Orient seems like a set=up or a first class screw-up. Why did the Collective wait until after the beach bar owners made their repairs to announce its plans? They had to have known for some time what was going to happen because it takes a while to negotiate a land purchase and draw-up plans for the facilities. Why did they not confer with the bar owners to get their needs and ideas? It seems like that would have made the design and construction go smoother with less complaints after everything was done. I'm not a conspiracy nut, but perhaps the government was trying to get rid of the previous owners so it could substitute people more friendly to the Collective. Just a thought.
