Is it the future, or is it just places like these, though? I don't think a machine that controls the weather is a terribly common thing otherwise. [if only because back in haven, even the people who came from more technology savvy futures seemed to be surprised about it and had to learn how to control it themselves. that counts for something, he thinks.

maybe he wants to hold onto some kind of hope, though. he already knows the future of their kind, of samurai, is one that will only live on as legends. surely, not everything else can give way to that too.]
