Re: The exchanging of unbelievable information, Henry, Rena, Leti, Oliver
¿ªÔÆÌåÓý"Of course he would," Henry readily agreed, not in the least deterred by the fact that he did not meet Rena's father. "To have given birth to you, he would have to be a logical creature and a superior being," he lightly explained, his mind still occupied with the?mechanism of body hoping.

"Well, the thing is, body hopping would require some extraneous resources. Whether they are of the mind, or spirit, or energy. I?know not, and I hopefully do not have to care. The important thing Is that Reynolds claims his machines could create a perturbation inside of the higher systems. His whole magnum opus, or at least its intent is to unlock that secret door that requires access to higher faculties. He was able to do something to this girl. Playing with her mind and such. So this Mary seemingly displayed certain unnatural abilities, after being exposed to the machine. Making the candle go out, moving an object towards her. Whether it was due to her belief in her ability or because something was altered in her, I am not sure. The color of her eyes did change though, from regular green to intense black. Say what you will, but I think Reynolds has a few tricks to open and or to close those most mysterious of doors. He is not merely?holding a body back, but that which?is inside of it, be it what it may.
?
At least so?it seemed. Several of his experimental Unfortunates could not take the aftermath of the experiment?too well. They would?lean towards homicidal tendencies, or wilderness. Something was indeed done to their minds. Whether within or without. Reynolds calls it 'gazing into the secret face of Pan.' I doubt they have actually seen any true god, but they have seen more than meets the eye, those very simple people. It would be hard to drive farmers mad, except with their own superstitions staring them in the eyes, or with something real out there.?I have placed equipment around their prone bodies, and the electrical field around them would alter, whatever else it means.
?
So overall, I have some hope that Reynolds is not entirely useless. If he agrees, he could disrupt the essence from reappearing in a new body. We would just have to convince him that he would benefit, that he would learn something new. I think I would tell him he would be that much closer to the god Pan, that would make him happy and open minded..." Henry speculated with a frown.

"No, I value myself far too much for this. I cannot risk this irreplaceable intelligence. There is not attaching this unique mind to any machine. I am open enough to see what needs be seen and do not need to see any more than that," Hyde proudly stated.
?
"As for his books, well you are right. We did exchange some ideas and we shared some notes. I thought I was clever at limiting what I felt revealing to Reynolds. But to this day I am not certain if he were true to me, mocked me, or what else could account for my failure to comprehend...I?recognized in his writings a smattering of Greek, but it wasn't the Classical version I have expected. I am not an expert but that alphabet was either a code of sorts, or...a much older variant of the Greek. The kind that one would not be surprised to read and hear at the noble days of Achilles,?or before. I tried to ask my colleague for the?key to read the code but he only regarded me with something that,,, well I would look at an ordinary human like that, from a place firmly above them. His writings are not intelligible to me, and the reasons for them being so odd....do not make me very comfortable in truth. I rely on Reynolds personal?goals to motivate him to help. But as for compassion, or any other human foibles, they can even be expected less of him, than of myself," Henry admitted with an almost uncertain smile. ??????????
