Re: After the sword madness

[Crozier own response is quite warm. He's not surprised to hear he had it removed -- Hilbert had anticipated it, after all.]

Have you now? I must admit I'm pleased to hear it.

It was a long shot, asking for the sample, but I'd wanted to speak to you before I proceeded. Decima will always be Doctor Hilbert's obsession, but it isn't his one and only issue. People are not dispensable, even if one has so-called good intentions.

He asked, and I've agreed. Knowing the risks and being able to give my permission unlike his other victims, I'm going to host the virus for further experimentation.

[There's a pointed silence, as Eiffel debates with multiple possible iterations of Are you actually insane? to try and find a way that could be at least partially construed as polite.]

...I... think this is a terrible idea, and I want that on record.

[And then he sighs, already super drained by all this.]

But it's literally your funeral, so... look, if you want an emergency out, I'll let Gaius know so he can pull the plug and fix you up, you just gotta let him know too.

I didn't think you'd be thrilled at the prospect, but you deserve to know, and he needs to finally see some sense when it comes to this project.

But I don't want Gaius involved, or anyone else for that matter. I'll make my own arrangements and contingencies.

Re: After the sword madness

[littletonoidea]

Yeah, uh, slight problem there. Gaius was my contingency. And I told him whenever he feels any Decima samples around the ship to destroy them with impunity. If he finds it around, he's either gonna tell me or get rid of it right away. He's gonna find out, and unless I tell him up-front that someone's rocking it on purpose, he's gonna have some concerns. And I don't think he likes Hilbert that much to start with.

Re: After the sword madness

[goingtobeunwell]

Very well, I’ll speak with him.

Not many people like Hilbert, but I’m not one of then. I suspect you’re not either. I hear your concerns, Mr Eiffel. This isn’t a decision I’ve made lightly.
