oh these are the friends I was talking about thank you for looking after M monkey my name is wenh Haren I teach planetology here in the canyon one could say I know a thing or two about our world a thing or two I doubt there's a thing or two you don't know about it well it might seem that way to a child like yourself I'm not a child anymore I'm 48 40 what n here has a long life ahead of him in human terms I would say he's about 15 or 16 years old that's more than old enough I can protect our Veil
and everyone in it which is more than I can say for my good Forno [Music] father speaking of the members of our little Community have you announced your return to one and all ning not yet be right back but where are my manners please come in and have a look [Music] around okay okay no too much Chef yeah oh have my devices picked your curiosity they are essential to my studies of the planet while that may appear to be little more than a glistening mineral at a glance it is in fact a crystallized
collection of our planet's memories it's like singing to me of the don't you worry my dear bring out the full heart looks good that's a scale model of our planet and the surrounding Stars One could say the dust it's collected represents the people who live upon it okay Celestial model the [Music] planet no inter Oh Nana do you recognize that little SC I'll have you know that in his childhood nanaki was quite a [Music] handful that is one of the first Marco detectives ever built [Music] H though
I suspect it can't detect much now that right there is a type of a current generator it harnesses the power of the wind to produce new air flows of its own perhaps you've encountered them before during your [Music] travels okay fantas you won't find a larger telescope on the planet with it you can see to the edge of the Galaxy there's no better view of the Stars than through this scope But the lens could do with some cleaning my apologies okay the lights to gaze into their [Music] [Music] past
[Music] lower level again huh h that's the planet crying out a sorrowful urge indeed one I've heard all too often of late this tuing allows us on the surface to hear the inner voice of the planet what we just heard didn't come from the planet though that was definitely the voice of a weapon h you seem awfully sure of yourself Miss because we saw them with our own eyes two in the Corell and gungaga reactors they were loud and huge a fascinating account were it true however such Grand delusions co
uld be a sign of Marco poisoning to see you Doctor um excuse me who oh yes that would do them some good judging from everything you've said the three of you are unfamiliar with basic planetology but it is never too late to learn please come with [Music] me I present to you our planetarium while the Shinra building features the latest iteration this particular one is my original design now then without further ado [Music] oh [Music] wow this is only the beginning a shooting star planetology is no
t simply the study of the cosmos and the celestial bodies that dwell in it rather it is a quest to comprehend the cyclical nature of life [Music] behold the planet we call home it was from its soil so teaming with life that mankind was born and like all living things man is fainted to die so what happens next the body Withers and returns to the planet but what about the mind the spirit the soul much like its former vessel it too returns whence it [Music] came to the Great River where all intertw
ine and circle the planet Without End a cycle of continuous convergence and Divergence the ceaseless EB and flow that is the life stream an apt name though it is as much a reservoir as it is a stream being the sum of the planet's spiritual energy it is the very essence of our star the blood coursing through its planetary veins [Music] and if ever that Essence were to be entirely [Music] [Music] depleted of course these are but basic principles of planetology so you're saying that moo is spiritua
l energy which we're using up just so siphoned from the planet and processed for industry that energy can no longer fulfill its true purpose it is fed to fuel man's Machinery then fade away okay but does it actually fade away I mean what if it doesn't what if it just returns to the life stream in a different form is that possible a novel Theory suggestive of a lack of understanding H however that can be overcome with time and [Music] education you rang please escort this young lady to our semina
r room would you right this [Music] way okay hey can I [Music] come [Music] no [Music] a question Planet runs out of energy it and everything on it dies [Music] right yes there any way to avoid this like making the spiritual energy stronger why are you asking me such things I am sorry I've come to realize that I'm somewhat stuck in the past we've entered an era in which Humanity exerts unprecedented influence over its environs and as both the planet and Society evolve so to must science and yet
it seems that I cannot perhaps I'm much too old of a dog d learn any new [Music] [Music] tricks [Music] [Music] worried thanks so much for taking such great care of nanaki for us fellow buen hogen instructed me to let you take anything you think might prove useful on your journey check out the store room when you have a chance [Music] yes Parting Gift M scarat what [Music] [Music] oh the is red ohra Crystal [Music] megaphone red megaphone Crystal [Music] megaphone Andy [Music] lucky Lu Spirit sp

se me Okay I uh where to begin I fell into the life stream I don't have words to describe it except beautiful maybe it was a lot to take in feelings of kindness washed over me long forgotten memories came flooding back it was a warm comforting place but there was also conflict a war between the planet and its enemies and I can't I mean we can't let them win we need the planet and it needs us we have to rise up fight back defend it from this terrible threat thing is I don't know how to do any of
that and I I hoped you might have the answer I I'm not criticizing planetology or anything and I'm not trying to scare anybody either I just you know never mind this is all coming out wrong please do not be discouraged should you ever wish to try again we would be more than happy to listen what matters is that you keep challenging your beliefs stop doing that and the answers will forever elude you on that note I think we should adjourn for the evening the River of Lights is almost upon us so let
us head to the torch I'll see you at the festival here at the moment can I help you what QB sharks are swimming in these Waters they are both one in the same wouldn't you agree oh it's our very first Catch of the Day folks we have ourselves a challenger hello sir care to tell the folks at home who you are could this shark be more of a guppy well I spy a row of razor sharp teeth in this little fishy's Mall you might be the qbb killer we've been waiting for but but there's only one way to find ou
t that's right our audience doesn't want to hear commentary they want to see blood to up the ante our Challengers opponent will be none other than your host with the most me [Music] Bernard [Music] rer [Music] h [Music] [Music] [Music] for [Music] okay Giant [Music] for [Music] g Grand horn oh to Easy Peasy super [Music] am I right I'm lucky I got out of that match with my limbs intact today's shark is a ferocious man-eating Menace he made a serious Splash with some ruthless moves players the wo
rld over have got to be shaken in their boots something tells me this Beast is about to upset the QB food chain better start swimming congratulations to you sir for an incredible match though we found the Canyon's resident shark the fun never ends on this show stay tuned because we've got more coming your way better to spread the teachings of planety the between oh [Music] [Music] pra look at them gathered around the fire just like us that day me and Mom and Dad if only we could do that again uh
never mind just forget I said anything H all lindine ear whenever I think about my mom my chest swells with so much much pride I I I feel like it'll burst but when it comes to my dad I just sorry I can't still not [Music] ready I had the pleasure of talking to a mentor said it was presumptuous of me to think I could save the planet she decides her own fate you see as rain cleanses the skies so too does she cleanse herself with filth so what we sit here and theorize while the planet rinses and [
Music] repeats no we fight or nothing will change that's what I said I knew you'd see it my way M [Music] thanks did I sound as awkward as I fell [Music] you did good can't help it if they suck at listening I got what you were saying I kind of wanted everyone to get it though to hell with [Music] everyone great advice thanks when you die you return to the planet that has literally got to be the dumbest thing I have ever heard once you die that's that diry much thank you so if you get that you ge
t why I live every day like it's my last they were're like grains of sand on the beach of the universe fatalist idiots spend my whole life trying to prove them wrong but sitting here looking up at the sky you kind of help feeling pretty minuscule for [Applause] so I'm an ancient as in a steward of the planet one of those ancients or to be more precise the only ancient for the most part it's been a source of pain I've been held against my will I've been watched I've been ignored even hated and it
's been that way ever since I was little my blood's been nothing but a curse if I ever started to forget something would remind me of what I was and bring me crashing back down to earth it was always the same time after time I'd be shown a glimmer of hope only to have it snatched away I was never going to be normal that much was clear [Music] oh co the so my blood's been a curse but it's also been a blessing it's brought some wonderful people into my life friends that I love and for once I think
I'm okay happy even and all that pain feels worth it [Music] even if I can't lead a normal life there is one thing I can do return their kindness and try to make the most of what I've been [Music] given [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] there it's this time [Music] wa pretty sappy huh [Music] meant every word [Music] though so this is where you've been nanaki what's up I believe it is because there's something of great import I need to show you and by that I mean
all of you join me would you you all think of the River of Light for whatever reason the ceremony has drawn a number of tourists to the veil as a when I ask for their Impressions they often speak of how beautiful it was some claim they were even moved to tears it's an overwhelmingly positive reception I'm happy to say to stir the human soul is no small fit and it pleases me to know that the River of Light possesses such power my hopes to paray their emotional response into a deeper intellectual
curiosity they have yet to be fulfilled people are surrounded by cats dogs birds and trees they know that life is all around them be it through the birth of a baby or the blooming of a flower they bear constant witness to the Blessed cycle of creation yet they've no interest in the welfare of our planet forgive me for sharing my idle thoughts keeping them to myself is quite a challenge in my old [Music] age I'm glad to know that was surely the wheel of the planet well then shall we proceed uh bu
t I thought this door was sealed so that none may enter why yes and by my own hand no less however youve a trial to undertake I do if you wish to prove yourself and become a watcher of the veil that is I presume you are prepared yeah I will also require your assistance in carrying out the trial much danger awaits within and I wish to ensure his safety when you're ready simply say the word ad and off we go or not the cave where it leads deep as it will take us no okay has n told you anything abou
t his parents yet no they were Watchers both of them but they couldn't have been any more different when our village came under attack my mother fought with courage With Honor she faced the enemy and laid down her life to save us my father though he turned tail and ran he was a coward so then you still haven't forgiven him why would I I see
