[ I DON'T KNOW, JIMJAMS. ]

Maybe we need to readjust the arrival process entirely then. Wake them up more slowly, give them the primer at the lab and then move then, involve us from the start.

Have you felt the drugs, personally?

[mdwlrk]

I'm not involving my employees in that. And your team isn't invited in, either. Sorry, but that's too much of a risk, especially with Johann around.

[He's too skittish. He can be convinced, but ... well.]

As it is, a scientist rarely does experiments on themselves without cause. So, no. I haven't. But they do work. I can imagine how terrible that is, having been under a similar effect myself.

But there are other risks. Problems. Dangers. And if my team is injured before they get to you, do you think the process will continue so smoothly?

[realists]

[ jyn thinks he lost a whole ass group of people so he doesn't get to say any of this goes smoothly but she refuses to let her temper get the best of her right now ]

Alright we aren't invited to your secret lab. Can I ask that you stop dropping new arrivals at public places in crowds of natives? We already don't belong here but dropping them off at a crowded music festival or a public memorial is added danger of making it abundantly clear from the start.

[mdwlrk]

I haven't done that in months. I'll take this as a request to keep not doing it, then.

[realists]

Cool, thanks

[mdwlrk]

Aside from that, it's not that I'm unwilling to change things, you know. A number of people had problems with things that were insignificant. Like the hair. Do you know how unsanitary it would be to keep it? And the drugs could prove dangerous. I could manage how much is in them when they show up, or even adjust the dosage so it wears off quickly. But it would all be experimental.

But starting in the lab is likely a no go. How many of you would decline the use of the neural implant without seeing why it's necessary? And then I'd have to work with that ... AI ... Cassius was it? To get you all set up. Which would be tricky for the people who do the surgeries. They're very phobic to them.

[realists]

Not a fan of Cassius?

[mdwlrk]

We're cordial.

I meant my Meadowlark team. How many secrets is too many?

[realists]

Depends on the secret.

I know AI are a tricky subject, I'd prefer he'd be safe than force your team to work with him and bring back more anti-AI sentiment.

Lowering the dosage could work, we've got a decent set up going. If it doesn't we can try something else.

[mdwlrk]

Let's try it.

Any other requests? Would you like a bird shirt?

[realists]

Actually, yes.

I'd like to see the moon.

1/2

[mdwlrk]

Oh! You'd like to visit? It can be arranged.

[mdwlrk]

I trust Jason's choices in contacts, but it would only be able to be you, you know. I can't invite a whole group up here without vetting.

[This reply comes very soon after, as he realizes he can't just let anyone into his home.]

[realists]

Can my partner come with?

[mdwlrk]

Are they likely to hurt me?

[Jimmy, even if he were, it's not like she'd answer that in the affirmative.]

[realists]

No, Cassian has more self-control than I do.

[mdwlrk]

Then it can be arranged.

[He says, after raising his eyebrows at the implication that SHE would hurt him.]

[realists]

[ i mean... ]

Thanks

I have questions, if you don't mind.

I guess you can also ask me questions

[ that's fair, she guesses ]

[mdwlrk]

What are you willing to answer? I got the sense that Jason was very careful about what he shared. Oddly enough, it made him more trustworthy to me.

And I'm willing to answer anything, of course. I believe I've made that abundantly clear.

[realists]

Depends on the question, I'll tell you why if I don't want to answer

What's the swiftlet meant to do? Not the bird

[mdwlrk]

How do you know about that?

[The reply is not immediate.]

A question for a question. But I need to ask.

[realists]

Cassian saw it in a dream

1/2

[mdwlrk]

Ah.

[mdwlrk]

It was intended to take the piece of blue out of the bodies of the carriers who had arrived through the rift and put it into the body of one of my clones.

Its use began and ended with the first attempt.

[realists]

Do you have a power?
