[Somehow, it had been easier to imagine that the abnormalities had been born from something other than a man's hand. It upsets her to have it confirmed.]

Why?
Why would any man intentionally give life to such horrors?

[btryl]

You probably shouldn't go down that route, you'll drive yourself to a bad place.
Just know it's because he can.

[dragonwarder]

I disagree.
Men who do as they like because no one will stand up to them deserve to be brought to justice.

[That only leaves her craving the real answer. A man who sought such evil deserved to be brought to justice.

But she is also aware that she could easily fall into a similar category as those “monsters”, thanks to her powers. And that isn’t necessarily the main reason she reached out to him.]

The research may be useful for the work my facility is doing.
If we can learn how they are adapting, then we can work to prepare the rest of the city for continued collapse.
They understand better than I do.
But I admire the work they do.

[btryl]

No, that's the answer.
It's because he can.

[dragonwarder]

He best pray we never meet, or that will no longer be the case.
I have burned men for such behavior before.
I will be all too glad to do it again.

I suspect I am not the only one who grows weary of him.

[btryl]

I don't think burning him is going to stop him, it doesn't matter how tired of him people get.
There's a reason I stayed with him. There's a reason he has Judas now.
Out of concern for your safety, I'd suggest to stay away from him until you have the right resources. Statistically speaking, the probability that he could do much to him is low.

[dragonwarder]

Low?
Even with all of the powers of the Displaced at our disposal?

[That's hard to comprehend.]

What other leverage could we possibly obtain?

[btryl]

I don't know, but I'll do what I can to help.

[dragonwarder]

Well.
One problem at a time.

I will speak to my colleagues regarding Antarctica.
I would invite you along but I do not think your wheels would do well on the ice.

[dragonwarder]

[She adds something else as an afterthought:]

Speaking of my colleagues -- can you tell me who funds the facility in New Amsterdam?
No one seems very keen on discussing it.

[btryl]

Which facility? Give me a few more hints.

[dragonwarder]

I have been volunteering at an environmental research facility in New Amsterdam.
I befriended someone by the name of Aramis, who tracks most of their quarries for research.

But even after some months, they are all very private.

[btryl]

It's an organization called EcoFriends.
Can you blame them? I'd hide that stupid name too.

[dragonwarder]

[That's. Kind of adorable. We stan.]

You jest.

[btryl]

I can judge.
