Scene: Unknown | |||
“This is reprehensible.” The fourth thought with increasing disgust to the group. “On many levels.” | |||
The first turned briefly to scrutinize the younger Talosian while the other two did the mental equivalent of rolling their eyes in irritation and ridicule. “You were chosen for this mission because you were our most promising student. There were many with greater education and experience but you were chosen because of your powerful mind. Were you not made aware of the goals of this experiment *and* the methods that were too utilized?” | |||
“I was made aware.” He confirmed. | |||
“And yet you question?” He asked with exaggerated patience. | |||
“I was under the impression that our mandate was to ask questions.” He replied evenly. | |||
“Of the subjects not of your betters.” The second interjected with no attempt to conceal his disdain. | |||
“We are not asking we are toying with them.” | |||
“It is sad that you cannot see the value of this type of experimentation. We provide suitable stimuli and study their reactions. It is very simple.” | |||
“We could simply ask them questions, open a dialogue.” The student offered knowing it was a losing battle. He was beginning to see his teachers were looking information but also enjoyed the methods they employed. Unnecessary as they were. | |||
“And how would that achieve impartial evidence? These beings are deceitful too themselves and too each other. It is a central feature of their makeup.” | |||
The student frowned and clamped a tighter shield around his mind knowing the others were trying to probe his thoughts. “Their minds are simple and easy to read. Any deceit would be obvious. Putting them through such meaningless tests is immoral and beneath us. And while I grant the results will prove interesting and insightful they are similarly unnecessary.” | |||
“Immoral?” The elder asked in a shocked tone. “They are lab experiments barely sentient and even the sentience we have provisionally granted them is still unproven. I fear you have allowed your emotions to overpower your intellect. It would be best if you returned to your compartment and reviewed the tenets of this experiment. I must advise you that I will be reviewing the wisdom of including you on this mission.” | |||
“But elder...” | |||
“You may go.” | |||
Respectfully, | |||
