Federal programs like the Neighborhood Youth Corps were made to encourage kids to get involved in their community and to connect them with local organizations to get job training or potential career opportunities.
Something like Playtime Co.
's Young Geniuses program would fit right in.
And it works out pretty nicely, because it's right about when Elliot loses his daughter.
He would want to bring in a bunch of kids to help him fill the child-shaped hole in his heart, figuratively and literally.
These kids were smart, helping to push the boundaries of scientific advancement, like helping in the research of how to bring a child back to life as a toy.
I theorized last time that the poem we saw at the end of the previous teaser, the one that asks, is this life, was from one of those young geniuses.
Someone who'd achieved the impossible with Poppy, but recognized the flaw in it.
This new timeline would seem to agree with that idea, that the young geniuses were started in the 1960s as part of Elliot's plan to bring Poppy back to life.
However, this does raise the issue of Harley.
We know that he was a young genius, and yet, throughout the games, we've seen that Harley doesn't understand Poppy or the prototype.
been weeks and weeks of taking things out and putting them back in and taking things out and putting them back in.
If I'm right and these experiments were part of the Young Geniuses program, that wouldn't be any secret.
He'd just know.
Except he was removed from the program by Elliot at some point.
And at a young enough age that he still holds a grudge against Elliot to this day.
So it is possible that he was around for experiments like 814, but was fired before they were able to successfully create something like the prototype.
Which is why we see him using some of Elliot's teachings about embryology and the poppy gel.
And why he's so surprised when he sees Poppy for the first time.
Quote, is it her?
