Deanna raises her eyebrows at that comment - whether in agreement or surprise, it's hard to say. She's busy focusing on that first part, about what they plan to do with the exotics. Thinking again of the migraines, she looks over again at Lapis. What if it gets worse for her and the others doing the gene therapy? Not that she blames any of them - it's a great temptation for her as well. She's tired of feeling... blind. Yet she's not sure it is worth it, putting herself at the mercy of the Cetagadans.

But as the conversation shifts and becomes more agitated, Deanna turns her thoughts once more to Diya and their conversation in the garden. Now the pieces are coming together.

Part of her almost feels sorry for Diya. Almost. More importantly and perhaps more coldly, perhaps this is something they can use as leverage, given the opportunity.
