Human folly had an age limit?

[ sorry that he is skeptical but it just sounds silly, cloud says, unaware he has alien genes in his body that make him see things and is not allowed to think anything sounds stupid ]

Toxins in the soul, which were placed there by human folly, affected the prolonged health of everyone in the country. It affected them from the moment they were born, and set the life expectancy to 23 years since they could not leave the island. It was just an environmental factor.

[ the actual virche science is really bad i don't want to talk about it but this is as far as actually somewhat makes sense ]

[ sets the life expectancy to exactly 23 I DONT WANT TO TALK FAKE CANON SCIENCE SO CLOUD JUST HUMS AND ACCEPTS THIS ]

Sort of like someone poisoning the lifestream. [ pensive. he doesn't know that it's possible but mako is the lifestream and that poisons people so Close Enough ] But it only affected that island?

[ I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT YOU CAN'T MAKE ME moves on..... ]

Yes.

Ocean currents have left us isolated. It was closed off from the outside world for a long time.

Planes can't reach it either?

[ ? ]

What is a plane? A form of transportation?

[ ...... the feeling of exhaustion is back... ]

Yeah. It's a man-made machine that flies.

I see.

People haven't invented that then.

[ scien said yes clones yes genetic research and nOTHING ELSE ]

[ the way i can't judge because technology is whatever ff7 wants it to be too clenches fist ]

If the island's been cut off for that long, it might've been invented, but no one knows where you are to land there.

[ commercial airlines aren't a real thing in 7 you get cid's shitty plane that breaks down and can sit 8 people and nothing else ]

Hmm... I opened the country about a year ago, so I think I would've heard it by now. I get too many pleas for collaboration on different projects for it to not be mentioned.

But perhaps it's on the horizon. It'd be nice for something worthwhile in the world to be invented by someone else.

[ ohhhh scien you are so fucking annoying ]
