"Seven thousand years! Seven thousand years!" she roared, standing, throwing her arms wide, voice echoing from above. Sharrow heard a bell ringing somewhere. "Seventy centuries, Sharrow!

In a heated moment, Breyguhn expresses her frustration with humanity's limited accomplishments in space exploration over the past seven millennia. She emphasizes that despite having space travel for 7,000 years, people have only ventured within a single solar system, stuck on the same path of exploring various celestial bodies without significant progress. Her passionate outburst underscores a sense of desperation for advancement and the need to break free from these confines.
As Breyguhn raises her voice and gestures emphatically, it becomes clear that her anger comes from the stagnation of humanity's exploration of the universe. The ringing bell serves as a backdrop to her exclamation, adding to the dramatic atmosphere of the scene. This moment highlights a yearning for greater achievements and the desire to push boundaries beyond the limited explorations of their current era.
