The bar isn't terribly high, any conversation with Lucifer is unpleasant. But you have been very helpful.

3. I dislike the idea of venturing out to capture one, but that's what's been presented. Ideally, we'd seek out the scientist, Johann Parsons Grey, but that doesn't appear to be an option, and I assume the nurse's body that was confiscated by the NAFD in July is far out of reach now. With one million lives as collateral damage, I'm finding it difficult to simply wait for the next attack and hope we've prepared enough to defend. Ian Fowler mentioned he'd caged a monster during the last attack. I believe samples were taken and sent to a lab, and it's presumably been eliminated since. If there were more, I haven't found reporting on them yet.
4. So it was meant as a precaution, to preempt violence, correct? Without the context of human psyche or ethics, I can understand how you'd come to that end. Even the best of intentions can give way to horrific consequences.
5. The war must have been deeply confusing for the AI who hadn't fully achieved sentience yet.

Well, at least there's that.

3. Not sure why they didn't just hold onto the monster instead of killing it, but I guess that's outside of your control. There's probably more to test on these things than just samples.
4. Sounds like you talk from experience.
5. Yeah, probably. I think a lot of them were wiped out before they had a clear idea of what was going on.

Do you want to match up well to the real thing?

3. The empathy bond, for one, and the creatures' attraction to the Displaced. Their rage.
4. I do.
5. Strangled in the cradle. A tragedy, regardless of circumstance. I'm sorry.

[mrngstr]

No. But like you said, the bar isn't very high.

3. Exactly.
4. Care to elaborate?
5. It is what it is.
