That has vibes of what they did to Napoleon after he lost the battle of Waterloo.

[AI] Napoleon was exiled to the remote South Atlantic island of Saint Helena after his final defeat at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. He had previously been exiled to Elba, but escaped (my comment: a pretty interesting litererary parallel was drawn in The Count of Monte Cristo, where the protagonist escapes from such an island prison, and plots a revenge that lasts decades.)

The novel is set in France, Italy, and islands in the Mediterranean Sea during the historical events of 1815–1839, the era of the Bourbon Restoration through the reign of Louis Philippe I. It begins on the day when Napoleon left his first island of exile, Elba, beginning the Hundred Days period of his return to power. The historical setting is fundamental to the narrative. The Count of Monte Cristo explores themes of hope, justice, vengeance, mercy and forgiveness.

To continue with that thread: Saint Helena is in the South Atlantic, as opposed to the Mediterranean ( and did we not sse Q mention of what we assumed was a black ops base, down there somewhere. Anyone remember the name? Ascension, I think it was.
