In this chapter, Corain meets with Jordan Warrick, a Special and psych-surgeon at Reseune, to discuss the secretive and politically sensitive project of psychogenesis, or mind-cloning, involving a young scientist named Rubin on Fargone. Warrick reveals the scientific and ethical complexities of cloning Special individuals, the risks involved, and the political implications surrounding the project, including his own strained relationship with Dr. Emory and his desire to leave Reseune. The conversation highlights the tension between scientific ambition, political maneuvering, and personal stakes within the context of advanced biotechnological research.
