What did they do with "The Xindi canyon"?

[apenpaap]

I rewatched "The Expanse" yesterday. An awesome episode, just like the first time I saw it, but when Malcolm and Trip looked over the huge canyon the weapon created, I started wondering: damn, that's a huge canyon, I wonder how they got rid of it? Did they fill it up? (If so, where would they get enough soil to fill up a 2 kilometre wide, 4000 kilometre long canyon?) Did they make a channel out of it? Did they keep it around as a memorial to the seven million people who had died? Any thoughts on this?

It solved that pesky climate change that everyone was so worried about in the 21st century, it filled up with all that extra water that we were suppose to somehow get since they never really were able to change the weather.

Am reminded of The Simpsons Movie... "the new grand canyon"

My guess is they just left it, as a memorial to the dead.

Nah, global warming had already been offset by nuclear winter. The Xindi Canyon became the new site of Disney World, which had been destroyed in World War Three some decades before, and was rebuilt by ol' Walt himself after someone had found the cyro-tank with his body in it in a basement in Burbank, California. The rest (as we say) is history.

Since it crossed the Gulf of Mexico up to Cuba, it would be filled up with water almost immediately since Florida isn’t that high above sea level…

They use it as a Hutt Bathhouse. Never mind the chronological and interdimensional inconsistencies of that statement.

 

[Nerys Myk]

The use it as a womp rat hunting ground.

 

[M.Robison]

I thought they used it to train Luke and Company to fly down a trench and hit a two meter wide exhaust port?

I don't know why this makes me laugh?

That would be most probably true. A the beginning, people would be too sad, angry or hurt to do anything than create monuments along it, but sooner or later it would become a major tourist attraction...

It turned into the Florida Canal, allowing travelers from South America to visit Disney by the newly expanded line of Disney owned cruise ships.

Serious for a moment, I thought it would be cool for a the new Trek visit "Xindi river" one day.

Otherwise Captain Robau filled the whole thing in, with a shovel, one weekend.

What did they do with the Xindi canyon?
What did they do with the Xindi canyon?
What did they do with the Xindi canyooooon...
Early in the the morning?

Because I honestly haven't a clue.

Pft. He did it with his bare hands one afternoon!

Why would they name it after the Xindi? That would be like naming the Ground Zero memorial after Al Qaeda.

It would either be named in honor of one of the deceased or be given some kind of feel-good inspirational name like "Freedom River."

Somehow, it seems sacriligeous to be laughing about the trench...but these are too, too funny.

And not with dirt, but with the blood of his slaughtered enemies.

 

[Anwar]

Maybe they built a city district in it, or an underwater city district if it filled up. Like how they built a city district in the Megatokyo fault in "Bubblegum Crisis".

And he carried the dirt...err the blood to the canyon uphill...

...BOTH ways...in a blizzard!
