How big... I'm not sure. It's centralized around one particular scientist. I... met him, and a few others, but I'm not sure how many people are in the organization otherwise.
...Well. The central figure is a scientist. That doesn't mean the whole cult is. He definitely cultivated more traditional worship in order to have followers he could use... for experiments and otherwise.
[Too be fair, it doesn't seem like. You know. A happy topic to talk about.
Kendall is at least aware enough to cue in on that.]
If there's anything I know about my Earth's history, it's that humans have always been stubborn enough to pull through. To make things work for them. [Is that good or bad, really?] So. Gonna bank on the fact that the same applies in your situation, too.
...That may be true. But can we make things work for everyone?
The only reason humans have survived this long is by using the Plants. They're a species of biological generators that can produce power, water, and all the other resources the planet didn't have.
But they're also capable of being conscious, independent beings. And two of them are. And one of them is, as you say, "up in arms"... about humanity exploiting them.
Oh. [Yeah that makes it. Awkward. Kendall can't imagine being in that situation; literally can't imagine it.] And let me guess, making it everyone else's problem?
...The July military police was the strongest force like that, but they couldn't touch him. The only one who had a chance of doing it was his brother. And their battle destroyed the entire city of July.
...That's a bit complicated to answer. He did manage to stop him from completing his plan, and redirect an energy that could have destroyed much more than just the city. But neither of them have been seen since then.

...Maybe there was. Maybe there were other colony ships that went elsewhere... But ours crashed on No Man's Land a hundred and fifty years ago.

[Complicated siblings relationship? Kendall can relate. Even if he can't relate to any of the rest.]
Did he... fail?
