It's so sad… T_T
Note: The “Goliath” name is significant. SHELL's exosuit armor is made of Volacite alloy. Volacite is a fictional crystalline material based on Hayao Miyazaki's “Laputa: Castle in the Sky.” For those who know that film, you may recall that one major nemesis of the lead characters is a battle airship that dons the name “Goliath.”
It's all connected, man!

Very nice Miyazaki nods. I also like the way you're establishing the world--and nods like this are always fun.

Oh, I love Laputa! Great way of connecting things.
