<p>i'm wondering if there's a connection between the work that the EDEN Corporation did and Project Illapa. they were both working towards very similar goals (weather control), so i'm speculating that at least some of the scientists working for the EDEN Corporation ended up working on Project Illapa after EDEN went bust. i know that it's widely accepted that at the same time that the EDEN A.I. went postal and killed everyone on the airship that it also killed everyone on Lacrima. i don't buy it. lacrima is mostly open EDEN was supposed to have killed everyone by locking them inside and lowering room temperatures so everyone froze to death.... i find that a bit hard to believe in regards to Lacrima as i reckon at least a few people were outside either survived the massacre, or just simply unlocked all the buildings and let everyone escape (the distinct lack of corpses in the EDEN stations on Lacrima is kind of a dead giveaway for me). i speculate that at least some people on Lacrima escaped and were captured by the Black Hand to work on Project Illapa. the Black Hand already had a presence on Lacrima, leasing a few installations. what i think went down was 1. EDEN killed everyone on the airship but failed to kill everyone on Lacrima. 2. the surviving EDEN employees and thier families were then kidnapped by the Black Hand under orders from Oscar Espinosa to work on the Illapa Project. 3. the Black Hand started poking around the Stingray installation to gather intel for thier Work at Zona Dos (both Stingray and Zona Dos were working on experiments involving lightning). then again this is just a theory. (on a footnote i think Square Enix missed a trick and should have had Eden Callaghan as an easter egg in Just Cause 4, maybe inside one of the cells in La Mazmorra).
