The ideas that Ves shared with Major Verle sounded deceptively simple, but could easily produce a cascade of unintended consequences.
The truth was that Ves didn't know what would happen if he did anything related to the two ideas. His unwillingness to cross a line by experimenting on his fellow Larkinsons had long constrained some of his wilder impulses.
While Ves was pretty confident that both of his ideas could make a difference in the upcoming battle, he could not guarantee the safety of his test subjects.
Both of them were crazy!
As all of the exploded heads that Ves had witnessed could attest, messing with spirituality was anything but safe.
Human minds could only handle so much spiritual input. Messing with people in this fashion was a very good way to kill or harm them. How could Ves do that to his own clansmen?
