I don't know, honestly most of this is beyond me and Calhoun is vague at the best of times." He sighed. "The one thing I did take from it is he isn't afraid to intervene if he feels like the results aren't to his liking."

Hershel couldn't help a smile at that. "I was thinking more 'it's all a dream?' Maybe we are all hooked up to some other pods and playing a very strange game?" He shook his head, growing serious again. "Honestly I don't know what to think. The only thing I'm fairly sure of is that this really is an experiment of some sort, whether or not Zero is a proper scientist or simply a madman is another matter."
