Please humour me the fact I've no desire to go down there and find out for myself: was all the tech from the genetics labs destroyed? The computers are what I'm wondering about, specifically.

I believe some were retrieved shortly after the place was discovered, as well, but I admit I have no idea who they ended up with. Word on either would be appreciated. I have a personal investment, as much as I'm loathe to associate myself so directly with the place.

Thank you.

[Oh. That's... disappointing. Josias sighs, and takes his time typing his reply.]

The point was more that there are some people who are not simply sadistic, but that their views about such matters might seem sadistic from our perspective because their environments and societies were radically different from our own.

None of it was meant on any personal note against you, Edgeworth. If anything, if we have the subject shift to something less extreme, it's more likely to apply to me. But regardless, it was just meant as a discussion.

[He doesn't reply for a moment; when he finally does, his words hold an uncharacteristic amount of self-awareness and honesty.]

I'm sure that's an interesting topic, but at this point in time, I am not exactly prepared to discuss it with you.

[A pause, then:]

Sorry.

Don't be. We'll talk again at some time, I'm sure.
