So there's seven billion people on Earth. There's not enough materials or time to make seven billion Drivers, which would help people survive the Forest. Not guarantee their survival, but help it. The projected number that could be made over the next ten years - which is the time until the Earth was totally covered that was the working timeline we had until about a month or so before I was brought here - was one billion.
That was Project Ark - that only certain people could be saved. That only certain people would be saved.
I... the Inves that live in the Forest, the Overlords that rule them... I made a deal with one of them to try to up that number to half of humanity, to just get her to have the Forest leave them alone. The other half of humanity...
[He lowered his gaze, a pained smile working its way onto his face.]
... They'd be hooked up to a machine and their life force would be drained to try to revive the previous King of the Overlord's wife. That plan fell through, and there's no way Project Ark is working, so... I guess I have to go after the Fruit.
