Veridia actually had a fair number of scientific researchers. While not every one of them was a leading expert, even the best minds need qualified assistants to handle the grunt work.
Not to mention, Jay Jonas and Zachary Pierce could only accept a limited number of people. And when it came to living conditions alone, neither of their settlements could compare to Faye Yardley's Conch Isle.
Building a research lab on Faye Yardley's island was truly an excellent option.
Besides, it was easy to reach an agreement when both parties had something the other wanted.
Faye Yardley also needed researchers to help properly use the Superpower Crystal Stones, ensuring not a single bit of energy was wasted. This would then give those on the island who wished to advance a chance to awaken their own superpowers.
Then there was the matter of researching vehicle power sources. It would be ideal if they could convert wind power into electricity to be used as a new form of energy for cars.
