"Alright Shah....""Oh, I don't know Edwards. You're already telling me so much."
Finn glances at Edwards' little compact. "Mirror, mirror, who's the most delusional one of all? Let me ask you, Edwards: whatever you're planning to do, is it worth dying for? Can you be teleported back to life? How does that work?
"Look, if you don't want to tell us anything, that's fine. But come on...at least tell us about the Jovians. You don't owe them anything, and if we let them get to you now, you won't be part of the big magical apotheosis, when it comes. You want that? Be useful to us for five seconds and we'll keep you in solitary. If you're not useful to anyone, I don't see the point of spending all these resources."
He looks at the mirror again.
"She was talking with me on this up until she went to confront you. I haven't heard from her since. I guess..." he drifts off mumbling "...you violated the holy site and yet nothing happened to you. Maybe it's time..."
"I was raised in the faith, so in a way I've been in it since the beginning. I guess though more specifically I was brought into Contos's project five years ago. I was the only person among the faithful who had even remotely related training. I'd done physics on Callisto, to postgraduate level. Contos accepted my application to her group her on Titan. It wasn't my idea to work on the project...I liked Callisto..." he looks off in thought.
- How and when did you get involved?
"They were really the ones bank rolling Contos"What was the role of the Jovians?
He looks around the room.
"Shah I'll say more on this but I don't want my admission recorded. The Zaibatsu's are not to be fucked with"
"Bioweapon?" he says thought not exactly confused. Then he smiles "Wait what exactly do you mean?"How were you supposed to deliver that bioweapon?
"....." Edward's eyes go wide.How did the thing in the sanctum react to your work?
"You really do know everything. It didn't like it....it frightens me Shah"
"The Jovians were told they were getting exactly what they were investing in, an interstellar travel system. They had one last piece of the puzzle we didn't have. Until we made a certain amount of progress, they wouldn't give it to us"How did you trick the Jovians?
Again he glances at the cameras.
"I'm beginning to wonder that myself. She told us in the faith one thing and the Jovians another. I thought she was feeding the Jovians a lie, then I begin to suspect us in the faith were being fed a lie. Now I think she was lying to everybody"What was Cantos' ultimate plan?"
