Witness the era before Annumilu, when the Arctic Water Corridor was treated not as the planet’s pulse, but as a mere resource to be exploited. This scene from Subartramer documents the peak of human hubris and the systematic usurpation of the natural truth.
Direct Quote from the Subartramer: “The broken string was not from a single place. Tunnels built at the foot of northern mountains diverted the lake’s waterways to other basins. Giant facilities in the south demanded infinite water for cooling… A supra-state consortium altered the flow with a single button through a project they called the ‘Arctic Water Corridor.’ At the base of the button, ‘public benefit’ was written. But the thin wave on the surface of the lake receded even further from the shore, as if someone from afar had taken a long breath. One summer morning, for the first time, a salty crust was seen on the earth beneath the pier.
The rhetoric of human-centrism returned to the stage in new forms: ‘Nature should be used efficiently.’ ‘Water should not flow in vain.’ ‘Sacrifice was necessary for progress.'” — Subartramer. This is the tragedy that paved the way for the Subartramer era. When the greed for power collided with the unyielding reality of the earth, the voice of nature was silenced by human arrogance.
