Preservation Quotes

“The farm was a microcosm of life in many ways, a small version of society and the beings who lived in it. Though on the surface it appeared as if very little ever changed, the reality was that there was a tremendous amount going on at all times. In many ways, the farm was like a giant machine, one prone to breaking down if all of its components weren’t kept in working order. The farm could run for a little while without incident, but inevitably something would deteriorate or break, causing the entire spinning system to grind to a halt unless it was fixed right away. When the farm was working, it produced tremendous results, but to keep it working required considerable labor.”

“So why didn’t you just tell me all of this from the get-go? Why make this into a game?” It took a long time for the system to answer, but when it did, its voice was firm and sure. “Because some things cannot be spoken of without guaranteeing they happen. Because you did not possess the knowledge you needed to save the world. Because you may not have been the one the world needs.”
