Unless that was retconned or someone before the Master tried to repopulate the earth with some race. So that the Master had to work around the existing protocols (maybe for a race with a Mass Population Model of A?)
Though excusing or excluding the Master's involvement in the last part. There's no imaginable reason why, as reported by Kattelox officials, citizens, investigators, historians, and researches would it would happen like clockwork every 4 or 5 generations without his involvement. At least in the island's repopulation.
He had to have been replacing them. The only sense I make out of that is that Kattelox was, or was one of, the place the Master betatested the carbons. As allured to by the Master and Sera in Trigger's memories. I wouldn't think the Master started out with a godlike or wanton mentality where he could emotionlessly or happily order genocide. But rather in the small batches he was working through. He was fixing problems and mistakes still hoping to "eventually" make the Carbons into the human analogs he dreamed they would be. Those being the ones he died happily knowing they were.
I'm willing to entertain any other interpretation of the snipits we've been given on the matter. But I haven't heard or been able to form any other coherent story that would explain why periodic reinitialization was local to Kattelox. Muchless why its system of ruins would be identified as unique in several fashions.
