It doesn't seem to bother him much, at least not visibly. Everyone he knew was similarly limited, maybe there was something to the process of SOLDIER making that didn't work nicely with this planet, and Popp simply didn't have that problem. One example of no inhibitions versus a half dozen of people sharply reduced in ability did not make a reliable data set. He'd have to ask further with others.
... Eventually. The slowly cooling bun, caught easily, is not yet eaten as it cycles though scents, some more tempting than others. "How wide of a river do you require then? It's going to take a long time to dig a deep enough pond to be worthwhile. ..Which means diverting one of the rivers anyway, so flooding an area may be possible."
