[Aha. So there is a similarity -- and encompasses the whole of the planet. Kratos can only shake his head; did they invent the library first and need to fill it, or have so much that they invented the library to contain it? And his original question still isn't exactly answered.]

But why?

[What possible reason is there to produce all of this -- to keep producing it? And that doesn't even begin to cover the daily communications. It's true, there are much more people on this planet than Aselia, but even so most of the communications have to be frivolous. How do they manage their communications lines without interruptions?]

Streetlights?

[Kratos lifts his eyebrows, shooting an amused look back at Skulduggery.]

Aselia has streetlights. But they're not --

[He lifts his hand, channels a bit of lightning to his palm; it crackles around him like a much larger thing than it ought to be, since he isn't trying to keep it contained as he had on the planet; but there's no reaction from the consoles or the lights around him.]

Not this.
