[Look Abel can teleport spaceships with his feelings, there is a lot he accepts he doesn't quite understand.]
I can't really agree with the idea that there's a god that dictates what happens to me and the people around me, we all make choices after all. 'The Devil Made Me Do It' isn't a viable excuse.
Not that your friend is crazy. I know of people who hear voices as well, translate vibrations from a piece of technology that transmits signals across galaxies. They're not quite divine though, they're more... angry righteousness.
they're pretty real! we've fought a few and one nearly drowned us in the sea as the king he's supposed to get their favor in order to fulfill a uh prophecy
[well, okay, remembering the prophecy is depressing stuff.]
not that they're actively granting miracles or anything
I never said they weren't real, what the women at MOTHER hear is just as real as what we're doing right now.
Does he get their favor by fighting them, though? It seems like a better idea to just talk things out and reach an agreement, it might last longer than just the lifespan of one king.
[This sounds like one of those 'tradition' things.]
Alright... interesting system, but everyone's universe seems vastly different for good reasons.
It's a thing, yes. The Colterons, the alien people who came to Mars and started attacking the colonies, we recovered some of their technology and were doing research on it when we realized it had an interesting property: women with children were able to feel and hear the overwhelming righteous rage coming into this device from across lightyears of space. They were able to hear and interpret the emotions that were coming from the device, so a coalition of these women formed MOTHER-- probably our most important information-gathering arm in the war.
everyone's universe seems really complicated by what you're telling me i'm sure all this makes a lot more sense with context but right now it all seems really fantastical you know?
One, no, I wouldn't recommend touching a star, it's a burning ball of gas. Does Eos have a sun? Stars are basically suns, but most are smaller and obviously much further away.
Two, I personally have never had cause to be inside a nebula, but I imagine some of them would be beautiful.
Three, no. If you could live long enough to scream into space, no one would hear it. Sound moves through molecules to reach our ears, in empty space there are no molecules for the sound to move through.
Aerospace was sort of my specialty at the Academy and after, so I'm happy to tell you about anything you like. Maybe even give a definitive answer to those hypotheticals-- at least, as my Earth and I understand them.
i'll have to think on the hypotheticals later although i don't think they matter much here? i should study what space exploration is like on this earth i guess don't think we'll ever expand upwards back in eos anyway
[what with a literal gods-sent disaster waiting to happen and his best friend meant to die— it's fine.]
will you look into that stuff when we're back in NA? there are colonies or something in one of the planets mars?
Well technically we both came from space in that sense, that's the last thing I remember at least. SEVERAL planets though, that's insane. I wonder how they made a planet like... Venus habitable.
No there's ground-- it's one big crust because of the heat and mostly volcanic, but there is something to stand on. But that surface area is much smaller than Earth's despite the planet appearing to be the same size-- it's because of the incredibly thick atmosphere. It's like having two snowballs, but one of them has a medium-sized rock in it and the other has a small rock in it, and the snow represents the atmosphere.
Yes we'd just begun space exploration and colonization when the Colterons attacked the Mars colony, but after that our research into space and technology became the priority. I remember in primary school, it felt like all of our focus was on science and technology, it was that important to our survival.
all this stuff really brings into perspective how focused we all were with what was happening in eos: the war, the gods, the scourge spreading, nights getting longer do you think there is life on other planets here too? like those colterons of yours?
Personally I find it hard to imagine a world where life only exists on one planet. Surely there couldn't only be ONE place where the conditions to support life were just right? It seems too impossible.
So yes, I think there's a good chance that this version of Earth exists alongside other life that isn't human. Where it is, how far away, I couldn't tell you.

their trials are different
anyway, what's MOTHER? it's a thing cuz it's in all caps right?

[says the boy with magic in his world]
do you mind a question on what space is like?
no subject
Not at all, ask me anything.
no subject
can you hear sound there??
technology in eos never aimed for space so we only got hypotheticals

no subject
['Plenty' is probably an overstatement.]
There are colonies on Mars even here?
Where I'm from, there are colonies on Mars as well. That's where Cain's from.
[If Cain hasn't told Prompto that yet and wants to squawk about it, Abel will just point to this whole mess with Hideki. Cain can deal with it.]
no subject
that's what i meant!
[he's here to encourage]
i think there's colonies in several planets
i'd have to double check
and yeah he did mention about being from space and all

so you come from a place where a lot of space exploration has been done?
i don't even know if we have more planets besides eos and the sun (which is a star** i know!! now!)

the stars and the moon are really nice for pictures
that's as much as i know about all this lol
