[It's not about the Hexcore, really--Ciri has seen that in dreams and visions, and though he has much more faith in the one he's made here, the one uncorrupted by whatever the Singularity was doing to them at the time, asking her to come see it is redundant. Viktor simply doesn't know how to ask his closest friends to come see him, so he has to make up some kind of excuse.
Even now, he's dancing around the subject. He wants to see Ciri because he's not sure if he's going to survive the procedure, and he wants to be able to tell her everything he needs to, in the event that happens. It's much easier, however, to pretend like he just wants to show her his latest invention.]
