[Console | Video]
This is ridiculous!
[There is a small boy scowling up into the console's video feed with a highly offended expression on his face. Not that it was easy to see that much. Even standing on a stool he is barely tall enough to reach the console.]
There can't be a turtle that big. If it was real it would be completely violating the square-cube law. Even presuming that it was possible for a turtle to grow this big, a biological creature cannot scale up like this. The larger an animal grows, the less its proportional muscle strength. According to that law, this turtle shouldn't even be able to move and there should be severe problems with its cardiovascular and respiratory functions. Even if we factor in the exception for buoyancy in sea creatures, this is still far too big. How is it possible for this to exist?
[Belatedly, he realizes that had been just a tiny bit advanced for an ordinary seven-year-old. He hastily pastes on a bright childish smile.]
I saw a program about it on television once! It was really interesting.

Most of the people here who can fly...they're alright. I mean, they should know what they're doing, so it should be safe...enough.

Maybe I'm just paranoid, but we never had things like that were I come from, so I don't always trust it.

I did.
[Even if it took...a couple years.]

Couple years. I think.
I was definitely thirteen by then.
