Kieran listened to Lillian's suggestion, and she was right to call it insane.
She had already established that attempting to re-engineer X-hancers was a fool's errand — a task steeped in suicidal aspirations.
An entire covert facility had been blown to dust due to a secret attempt to modify and examine X-hancers by parties outside of its creator. They had assumed it was a safety precaution embedded in the formula, but what if the contents were insanely volatile and not even the creators dared tamper with it themselves?
That idea ran through Kieran's mind, and that's precisely why he looked at her as if staring at a madwoman.
"Are you insane, Lillian? Do you want to blow this place to smithereens? Isn't the force from the explosion similar to a catastrophic bomb? I doubt the state would appreciate you leveling an entire terrain for the sake of curiosity!"
