Most people did not recognize the true end game of the Racial Supremacists and Genetic Puritans. They cloaked their beliefs with clinics that promoted the public health as one example. With modern technology we have actually achieved much of the publicly stated goals of those days. We are the healthiest generation of humanity ever born. But the true tragedy of those days was the belief that if some wished to rise they must drag down the others.
One thing I sometimes wonder about with Epsilon Indi…According to the pre-space Star Trek stories Andoria really was there. Now we didn’t meet anybody there when we arrived, but there is that beautiful Earth-like planet around a gas giant like Andoria in those stories. Coincidence? Or as a show I grew up watching used to ask at the end of every mystery, was the old man “Touched by an Alien?” Oh, who am I fooling? It has to be a coincidence…
Sherlock of course was the primary AI designed to work with the British university computer systems. Where Watson was designed to study, observe, and learn everything he could, Sherlock was designed to teach young adults everything he knew. And considering he had at his virtual fingertips the combined knowledge of Western Civilization, he could teach them extensively. What Sherlock lacked was a basic understanding of human motivations and emotions.
Something other than a reborn Germany arose in the 1920s and 1930s. Across the world a new ideology that promoted the genetic purity of humanity took form. Master Races were declared with those of less fortunate lineages considered second-class humans by their natural superiors. The mentally ill were castrated in Germany and America. Abortion mills were built in black neighborhoods to reduce their numbers. And Anti-Semitism reached new heights throughout the world.
Epsilon Indi has one of the rarer phenomena in star systems. One of her gas giants has an actual Earth-type moon that is entirely compatible with the needs of humanity. Star Wars adherents wanted to call it Yavin but Trekkies are a stubborn lot. Andoria orbited a gas giant in the Epsilon Indi system in Star Trek, so by Gene they were going to call it Andoria in real life. Didn’t matter who won the vote, they’ll always call it Andoria.
