Who Was It?

What? Why? Who?

What exactly were they getting out of marooning the colonists on Roanoke?

Why would they do it?

Who exactly was the person that was "protecting" Fernandez?  He must have been powerful enough to...

1- Plan the whole scheme.

2- Make sure the colonists had nothing to live off of when they got to Roanoke.

3- Make it so the colonists never end up on Chesapeake Bay.

4- Be important enough to keep the ships confined to port--if that was their doing.  It probably was as they would not want Raleigh going to rescue the colonists.  How did they even hear of the plan in the first place?

OR....Were they even after the colonists?  Were they getting somebody else by deserting all 116 of those innocent people on that dangerous island?  Highly unlikely....right?  Wrong.

Seriously....WHO?!
