Weird question, but has anyone else been contacted by any of the kedan out of nowhere? Asking about your work, or anything like that?

[Technically the saying goes 'two is a coincidence, three is a pattern,' but any scientist knows that sample size is dependent on the question being investigated. In this case, Tony thinks that n=2 is significant.]

She wanted to know if she could count on the help of the KPD in the future. I felt like I was being tested in some way...I believe I passed.


Specifically, Kyde wanted to know my opinion on ethics regarding scientific research and experimentation.

[highprofilerichkid]

So... were both of those conversations as ominous as you just made them sound, or is that creative license?

[He kids, he kids!

(...but seriously though, you made those sound shady as fuck, Valdis.)]

[redlightgreenlight]

I have no idea what you are talking about...


It is interesting that they'd suddenly take an interest in us.

Well, for starters, Keeliai has some bad history with the ethics of 'experimentation' – as in, experimenting on people, [Tony points out.

Kyde has always struck him as the harmless oddball sort, but, then again, so did Milyn. You can never really know what Mad Scientists™ are going to get it into their heads to do when no one's watching them.]

[redlightgreenlight]

I think Kyde is for rules and regulations to prevent abuses...He's not like Milyn.

[Tony relaxes at that reassurance. Their history is fraught in other areas, but he does actually trust her ability to judge people's intentions. Pretty much anybody is better at that than Tony just by default, and Valdis also has the bonus of being an empath.]

That's good to hear. Do you think he's trying to get some laws put in place?

[Tony's in favor of that. It might prevent further incidents like the Milyn Debacle – or at least create a system to deal with them.]

[redlightgreenlight]

It certainly seemed like it. I'm willing to be hopeful.

[Because if laws were put into place, it wold be easier to restrict Milyn's experiments.]

[highprofilerichkid]

Me too. [As strange – and a little bit suspicious – as this all is, Tony still has the feeling that something good is going to come of it. Or at least something interesting.]

Thanks, Valdis. Tell me if you find out anything else.

I will
