Unless I have forgotten, I haven't told you about how this statue was first found.
The story actually began around the year 1754. There was a great explorer who just so happened to be one of your ancestors. He was actually the first person to move his family to the Americas in about 1765, but that's a different story (his name's on the declaration of independence; it's three rows to the right of John Handcock). In his early years, he mapped out a lot of the pacific ocean. Some of his tactics were actually revolutionary at the time.
So, you know the dowsing rods? He built these huge dowsing rods that could measure exactly in which direction there was groundwater. The system worked because the whole ocean acted as a dowsing rod amplifier, as there was literally no ground around, so it just measured to the next thing. He also spoke all 15 Polynesian languages, so he received a lot of tips from them.
One day, the dowsing rod pointed upwards, and when he looked, your ancestor noticed a meteor falling from the sky. He followed it and it led to this island. He named it, "Halloween Island" because it was Halloween on the day it was discovered. And I do mean discovered. Before it, this island was only inhabited by birds of relative age. Nobody had stepped foot on that island before him and his crew. No Polynesians, no random nomad thousands of years ago, nobody.
Of course, he was enamored by this Frog temple, much like you are on this page. Although he managed to get up into the temple, it didn't matter because he was incapable of actually entering the rest of the temple. This led him to write off this island as a confusing mystery. He went on his merry to "discover" islands in the ocean to be colonized in the future. And nobody cared about this Halloween Island.
That was until your mother became CEO of WDG industries. As the retiring wish of her predecessor, she was asked to go to this island, and study the frog temple on the island. She did, and when she got there, she noticed a lot more than that, the local wildlife was unique, untouched, and the whole island had a natural source of power, being over a dormant volcano, it produces a lot of geothermal energy, which powers the house and the lab. However, the Space Elevator powers itself using its extreme height. Firstly, it has a bunch of wind turbines lining the sides of it. Secondly, it uses the power of time dilatation. It does this by sending electricity between the top of the machine to the bottom, and back up, and this generates power. The last ingenious ploy of power is the use of the earth's rotation to move a turbine.
You stare at the Statue for a while, before you really start thinking about how you're going to get up there.
