Uncertainty
Azurat: Have a good evening, Martin.
Azurat: I have to pick up my daughter from her karate lesson.
Azurat: How did it go? Did you advance to shodan?
Ravenna: Yes I did! Although... this test was a lot tougher than before.
Azurat: That is totally baller.
Ravenna: Yep. Uh, listen, pop...
Ravenna: Some of the people at school are giving me a hard time because of Uncle Gesh and... well...
Azurat: Listen, kiddo. You're not responsible for what he did. You know that.
Ravenna: Yeah I know that already. It's more that they're spreading rumors about your job.
Ravenna: I know you're not allowed to talk about it but...
Azurat: Listen, Ravenna, we had a big meeting with the council today and they want to move forward with the experiments.
Azurat: You still cool with that? Because... honestly... I'm not.
Ravenna: I'm the only one suitable, right? Plus I have the best chances of surviving.
Ravenna: Plus it's for the long term survival of humanity.
Azurat: You're REALLY just all hunkey-dorey fine about all this?!
Ravenna: Of course not! It's not like I actually look forward to it!
Azurat: Yeah. I'm glad to hear you say that. Listen...
Azurat: What I'm about to tell you doesn't leave this cockpit, alright?
Ravenna: Of course. I won't even tell Bus.
Azurat: Ok. Good. Now, listen...
Azurat: Today, the Zetsfir council suddenly let us know they obtained Gesh's brain.
Ravenna: WHAT?! I thought it was destroyed!
Azurat: Pffft, yeah, plus they had people out in the rubble searching for traces of it.
Azurat: Plus they had us wracking our brains trying to assemble the data through other means...
Ravenna: Umm... what data?
Azurat: I'm violating multiple global laws telling you this but Zetsfir has us developing technology to make sure humans survive the migration.
Ravenna: Isn't the Morgan's Gate supposed to support life for centuries?
Azurat: Yes but there are other factors involved. One is the manipulation of the human genome to adapt to the new planet. The other one...
Azurat: Sorry, Ravenna. Let's leave it at that.
Ravenna: Oh, alright. I'll pretend I didn't hear anything.
Azurat: Ravenna! Wise up! I'm not screwing around, here.
Azurat: The DNA your Mother's side of the family carries actually contains synthetic data that contains precise instructions for this.
Ravenna: I know you said we have the "Disphumis Factor" but I thought that was just white hair, red eyes, and more strength than normal.
Azurat: I don't know all of the specifics. Still... here's the part that's REALLY going to get me in trouble if it gets out:
Azurat: That cylinder in the back seat.
Ravenna: I was wondering why you took out part of the back seat and had that thing jammed in there.
Azurat: It's a little something I'm working on... but I'm not supposed to.
Ravenna: What does it do, exactly?
Azurat: It's some kind of compact wormhole generator. Like I said, though, it doesn't work yet. Zetsfir commissioned one on the Morgan's...
Azurat: I've already said way too much.
Ravenna: Pop, I don't trust Zetsfir. I don't like what they're doing.
Azurat: Most people don't, kiddo. It's just that none of us have much of a choice but to go along with things.
Ravenna: They've never taught us anything in school about how they got so powerful.
Azurat: That right there is the whole reason they ARE so powerful. It's because they can control information.
Azurat: Not to mention their secrecy fuels speculation so the lies and theories further cloud the truth...
Ravenna: I want to get to the bottom of this migration business. What's the REAL purpose for it?
Azurat: Listen, Ravenna. Some questions are not worth asking. If you get too curious, bad things can happen.
Ravenna: Bus says that, too.
Azurat: Ah! Marvin Jensen. How is he doing? I heard he was likely to be valedictorian if he doesn't get busted for hacking!
Ravenna: He's doing well. Is it okay if he comes over tonight to help me with some homework?
Azurat: Sure thing. I always like picking his brain on things, although I'm going to be too tired tonight so I'm going to bed early.
Ravenna: We'll be extra quiet, then, so you can rest.
Azurat: *YAWN* Hmm, appreciate it.
