As for whether the Court would risk a year's worth of students - it is possible that the higher-ups would see it as necessary to get the information and knowledge that they wanted, that they're so obsessed with their quest for knowledge that everything else, even human life, is of lesser importance in their eyes. (I just had a vision of them drawing up an "If something goes wrong" plan of holding an impressive memorial service, compensation for the grieving parents and assurances that "Your children gave their lives for the sake of humanity's progress to greatness, the grand march into the beyond" - or even "We secretly took genetic samples from them before they boarded the ship, and can simply grow clones of them to replace them".) In shorter words: "It was worth it." |

Robot is going to have Arthur and Juliette murdered so they don't tell Kat about the cult, isn't he? But on the other hand, if he does so, the next Shadow Man tasked with spying on Kat may tell the ruling body of the Court about her experiments... Quite the dilemma... Would Robot go that far? While his religion's been taking some disturbing directions, I find it hard to believe he'd actually become a killer. If he does, that would certainly mean an even darker turn for his movement - not to mention a "robot has killed robot" moment. |

In shorter words: "It was worth it." Possibly one of the most ominous phrases in the English language. |

Robot has shown a growing fascination for the concepts of mortality, death and pain. And his "mom" is a literal psychopomp who guided the fabled Jeanne to her final rest. Not to mention that he risked a bunch of students during the ship farce. I think he could rationalize murder as a necessary evil... |

Let's hope Kat never says "You can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs." in front of him. |

1294 was the "it was worth it" page with Arthur tucked off to the side, in case anyone else was looking for it.
