Luana stood straight up, her mouth hanging open. "Yeah. Dr. Liam McColn."

:::She points...::: That's him!
:::But after a moment, something in her stomach settles heavily:::
Oh my goodness... he's the one who did that to Andrew... and now he's experimenting on his own daughter... :::She looked away::: And she's letting him.

:::Cora nods:::
Yes, your father becomes... or rather, if he's responsabile for Andrew's condition, he already HAS become a pioneer... in biomachine enhanced humans.

"Enhanced? You mean, like..." She glanced down at Cora's arm, away, then back up to her face. "He starts all that?"

:::She nods:::
yes... but he doesn't reveal any of his work until many years after... well, you're from 200...7? Correct. According to the documentation on him, he doesn't release any information for many years to come.

"What exactly does he reveal?" Luana began to feel a bit sick. Her head spun and she leaned on the bar.

:::Cora looks off to one side:::
Perhaps I shouldn't be discussing this with you Luana. It is pertinent to your immediate future and according to the laws set forth by-
:::The established ethics laws of time travel according to man were published hundreds of years prior to Cora's time, and not for hundreds of years after Luana's... the laws of those men didn't matter in the Brink. But there was truth to them:::
It's not a good idea for us to meddle in those things. We both know it.

"I know, but If what kal told me about the future is true-! If my father starts it-! If TechGen-! Then I-!" She had started pacing, thoughts racing in her head.

:::Suddenly it all turned around though, and anything Kal said about his own time was pertinent to Cora's future:::
What? What did Kal tell you?

"A desert!" Luana blurted "The whole world except for one tiny piece is dead! And humans did it. Techgen did it, my father did it... I..." She slumped into a chair. "I can't let it happen."

Oh... that... :::Cora scratched the back of her neck:::
No, Luana... the frailty of Earth's condition by the time I reach existance isn't any one man's fault. Certainly not the fault of just one man from 1000 years prior. There were environmental issues, and generations' worth of neglect on top of ecological changes that were out of our hands that were the cause of it's state...

"You're right," she took a deep breathe. "You're right. A lot of things could happen in a thousand years that have nothing to do with TechGen." She seemed to be saying this to reassure herself. She wrung her hands. "Still, if he shows off me and my friends as products of his research a few years from now... No, he wouldn't do that. He's a regular Frankenstein, but he wouldn't do that..." She started pulling on her hair.
"I'm sorry. I guess I'm still a bit jumpy."

:::Cora just shakes her head... she's tempted to rub it in, say 'I told you so', but at this point, it's just sad:::
Have you considered that you're father is the one who caused the accident?

"If you are suggesting that my father planted the bomb, I can tell you now that he didn't."
