I'm inclined to agree with you.

But do you really think there's anything you can do? It's not like there's clear access to the Singularity to conduct your studies, and even if there were, you wouldn't have the freedom to do whatever you liked -- not without eyes on you.

[ Ciri knows she's not saying anything Viktor's not already keenly aware of, but the situation feels so... hopeless. Even if she could do something, it would be more dangerous to everyone involved than actually useful. She doesn't know if she could open that door. She wouldn't try. Not unless she had to.

And it wouldn't actually give anyone control, except over her. ]


You've heard about the experiments Thorne did back when they held us prisoner. Trying to... replicate our connection on their own people.

Any of the territories' leaders would use us as fodder for their research, if the consequences were deemed worthwhile, or easy enough to sweep away. I worry about those whose connections with the Singularity would be exploited. About those whose interests are deemed too dangerous, or too useful to the wrong people.

Especially when I know the leading governments of Abraxas aren't the only forces in the many spheres who seek to open those doors for their own means.
