He'd seen a lot of it up close but that was too much personal information too soon. Even the Meisters had only been told out of necessity, and reluctantly at that. He'd made it too obvious that that mission was personal to not give them an explanation. "And sometimes the governments seem unwilling to even acknowledge a problem. They could have done something about so much of it." It had been truly galling when the Human Reform League had expressed their horror at the Super Soldier programme when they'd been the ones to create and fund it.

So that was alchemy? "It sounds very archaic. I think I've only seen the word used in fiction before." He shrugged, a little embarrassed. "I didn't get much chance to study history when I was young." That should explain his lack of knowledge about so many things that people took for granted. What history he did know was mostly in relation to warfare.

He bit his lip, thinking of how best to explain such a massive structure. "It's a super structure," he began. "I'm not an engineer so I don't know the fine detail about it. It's like a giant tower, I suppose, reaching from the Earth;s surface into space to hold up the solar generators that are the main source of power. There's a sort of train inside though, which takes people and cargo up to the stations in orbit and to the colonies in orbit." It was something that was so utterly everyday to him, that it seemed strange to have to explain it. They were very impressive up close though, he had to admit.

"They united for something though. Maybe that is a start."
