Donna was a bit too braggy and Deanna was far too intelligent to trust Donna with too much.<span style="color: #FFBFBF">"Regardless if they were bad motives or not, they were still motives she kept hidden from us for whatever reason. If she is hiding it from us, then it is obviously something she doesn't think we would approve of. That alone is enough to be wary,"</span>Sintrina replied as she stood, walking over to a small table with a few cups and a carafe full of wine. She poured herself some, then poured some for Isolde. She walked back over, the glasses held gently in her deceptively delicate hands. She handed one to Isolde and took her seat once more, taking a small sip. She seemed to contemplate for a moment, then took a larger sip.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FFBFBF">"I'm sure Deanna will step out of line at some point. We don't really need more on her than the malfunction of the device in Freya to scare her. It would only be easier to get her to admit to hidden motives if we had proof of hidden motives. However, due to the device's malfunction, we could demand to see the operating system she used to control the signals for Freya. There is bound to be something on there to give herself away..." </span>Sintrina offered as she stared at her cup, swirling her drink around. She took another sip then looked back at Isolde<span style="color: #FFBFBF">, "After all, she has obviously been monitoring Freya closely to know that the device was malfunctioning to begin with, and as far as I knew, that device was supposed to be automated for the most part--only used to modify certain behaviors. It should not have required Deanna to be monitoring it...of course she could always use the excuse of Freya's sudden danger as to why she was monitoring the system, but that matters very little." </span><br/><br/><span style="color: #FFBFBF">"The power these devices will provide is a very dangerous thing, Isolde. If we were to use them, we need to be extremely cautious. These are not toys, not that I need to tell you that....The control we would have is tempting, the idea of ruling a world of puppets is not exactly ideal for a thriving society--though we haven't been quite thriving in a while. These devices should be a last resort. Skirmishes are easy to squash---a device malfunction in millions would destroy our entire civilization."</span>
