Test - Angela

Det var en fredelig onsdag efteriddag. Der var gået nogle dage siden Moira havde konfronteret Angela med hendes skjulte arbejde, og intet dramatisk var hendt endnu. Moira havde kort overvejet, om det virkelig bare var skrøbelig stolthed, der lå bag .. men det passede ikke ti, hvad hun vidste om kvinden. Well, she would just have to wait and see.

Moira havde fået en mail fra head-office og var gået i gang med at læse den på sin tablet. "Hmm" hun lavede en tænksom lyd. "It could sound like they're considering chaning test-procedures"

"Changing the test procedures? How?" spurgte Angela og løftede blikket mod Moira?

Moira skimmede gennem mailen og hævede et øjenbryn. "It seems they are discussing exchaing phase C." hun læste lidt ned. "Ah yes, here. They wish to introduce a test on cat-people, to 'improve predictions for the human testing'"

Angela blegnede "what?" udbrød hun chokeret "no, absolutely not!"

Moira så interesseret på Angela, det havde været en stærk reaktion. "No? It would have some advantages .. of course, so would just canceling step C"

"We are not canceling step C and we are most certainly not testing on cat-people!" sagde Angela vredt

Moira rystede lidt på hovedet. "It would speed up the process" sagde hun tænksomt. "But .. I suppose we don't know how medically slike humans and cat-people are"

"And it is putting cat-people at risk" sagde Angela vredt "no, we are not harming anyone."

"No real risk" argued Moira. "It is late in the testing phase"

"That doesn't change anything, we wouldn't put a human in at that stage of the testing, and we are must certainly not forcing some poor cat-person to do it either." sagde hun e.e

Moira hævede et øjenbryn og så Angela interesseret an. "It would lover the risk to humans later in the process, that is not an important factor?"

"Not if we risk cat-people to do so" sagde Angela frustreret e_e

Moira så interesseret Angela an. "You do not think that is better? We test on rats as well?"

"That's different" sagde Angela frutreret "cat-people are not rats."

"No" sagde Moira og rystede på hovedet. "I am just interested in where your boundery lies"

"When we are dealing with what is almost human beings" e.e' sagde hun frustreret

Moira så Angela lidt an. "I am sure th damage wuld be much lower, than the reward"

Angela så meget uenig ud "no it isn't, we shouldn't hurt people. We should do proper testing and make sure it is safe before we test it on humans. And cat-people should not be these.. slaves to do our dirty work on."

Moira hævede et øjenbryn. "I am sure we could get consent from some. At least as much as we ever get"

"Oh yes, I am sure we could get them to say it was fine" sagde Angela med smalle øjne "poor people are too scared to say anything in defence of themselves!"

Moira så hende an, Angela sure seemed upset. "Which is more consent than rabbits or rats usually give us"

"They aren't rabbits or rats" sagde Angela frutreret

Moira så hende lidt an. "No, where's the difference?"

"Cat-people are intelligent, human-like people" sagde hun skeptisk

Moira så hende an. "Hm .. " hun trak lidt på skuldrene. "I had heard it was more on the level with dogs"
