So every country was calculating the pattern behind Lord God's appearances and the descent of the Divine Messengers.
Only on the day Lord God appeared did they raise workers' benefits, making everything look prosperous.
Once Lord God left, they lowered those benefits again, even clawing back every last bit with interest... Was that really okay?
Besides, what was with the benefits Rhodes Island offered? Were they running a charity?
And the truth was, Rhodes Island really was running a charity.
Why had Rhodes Island dug the Doctor back out? Because the Doctor had been lying in that sarcophagus for less than three years, yet Rhodes Island had already been charging headlong toward bankruptcy.
They truly couldn't hold on anymore, so they hurriedly dug the Doctor back out to save the day.
Only after the Doctor returned did Rhodes Island's financial situation finally begin to recover.
Even with monopolies over medical care, technology, and medicine, and while negotiating affiliations with the upper echelons of various countries, Rhodes Island's economy had charged straight toward nouveau-riche levels.
Seriously, please, try being a little capitalist. How could you not even know how to make money?—If the Doctor hadn't lost their memories, they probably would have said something like that.
Kal'tsit knew she lacked talent in that area, so she handed it all over to the Doctor.
Then what was Kal'tsit herself doing?
She was busy cramming the amnesiac Doctor full of knowledge about both Pre-Civilization and modern civilization.
She was busy training Amiya. That black crown wasn't just decoration.
She was busy keeping the Sargol people in line, warning them not to stir up trouble again.
She was busy holding Kristen back, telling that little golden-haired puppy to put her dreams of flying on hold.
She was busy recovering Heaven's Point—
Yes, Heaven's Point.
