Honestly? No, I hadn't given it any thought. I guess I've just gotten used to working within spacial limitations that I just accepted it for what it is!

[aka a video game's world is only as big as it needs to be, and he's never had a reason to explore beyond that, so he was more than happy to accept it at face-value.]

She specified that she wants the peninsula as hers. Does she have no interest in restoring life in the land that lies beyond?

Dead and scorched earth is the perfect soil to bring new life, is all.

I can only speculate, and I have no want to miscommunicate Her goals. That is better spoken between yourself of Her. But on my part, I do not believe the land is capable of bearing new life. It is lost to us and to Her; it is vast, empty, cracked, and barren. Your work would be more than worthy to enrich the peninsula in Her name. Please Her enough and She may show you what is out there, too.

I have a hard time believing that it's totally lost, considering that only a few miles away (or however wide that mountain range is) life is thriving here in the peninsula while we breathe the same air and drink the same water. If this really is the last livable land, it's inevitable that it's going to choke itself out -- especially since we're the apex predators of apex predators (humans), and they individually demand so much out of natural resources to survive in the first place!

She's gotta realize the inevitability of our death if humanity is cattled with fear rather than motivated to thrive. I know from my conversation with her that she doesn't view us as tools to exact her wrath upon humans, regardless of how angry she actually is at them. She wants us to live happy lives here; that's what she told me.

[Did anyone ever tell you that Larry is a problem solver first and foremost?]

Sorry -- I guess at this point I'm just thinking out loud. ...Well, "out loud".

What I'm trying to say is that if she wants us to thrive like she says she does, we have find a way for humans to thrive too. If we show them love and compassion, maybe with enough time they'll be motivated to bring life back to the rest of the world. Either that, or the peninsula will end up the same way. We can't sustain the status quo forever.

[Javert is of Little Faith when it comes to humankind, but far be it from him to argue another man's intimate instructions and understanding of their sovereign authority. At least this one isn't a liar about it, and made no claims to the contrary ~~like a certain Regulus Black~~.]

What you do with Her lead is a private matter between yourself and Madame Fog. I will not tell you otherwise, so long as you are honest and honorable about your intentions. If you wish to carry on Her will through construction projects and revitalizing the lands, then do it. You have my blessings and support. No doubt She would reward you for growing the land, should you achieve it.

Hm...

[Is this not a team effort? Interesting...]

What is she to you, then? What is your mission for her?

I am an enforcer and a guard, Monsieur. I am tasked to enforce and protect Her will in this peninsula. Those are my strengths, and that is the course charted for myself. I protect our lives; I cannot be relied upon to scatter the seed for more life. Far be it from me to interfere with your task to build and enliven!
