"Not at all. I am sure Violet vill appear with provisions. Have no vorries."
He would nod and wave a hand towards the area forward.
"Let us continue."

No worries would be nice, but Ali nodded in acceptance and would continue on to whatever vehicle she and Donovan had used before!
"I've not had the chance to meet her, either." She wondered what the other woman would be like, but passed on the chance to gossip. Instead, she gave Locke a look of consideration.
"What are you hoping will happen while we're there?"

"Zat ve may set up a form of recovery plan for ze weapons. As vell as possibly identifying vere ze weapons vere taken from."
Was his answer as he got into the vehicle as well. He would calmly wait for her to begin driving or taking them to the destination.
"Violet is quite... Proficient with her job. But, she cares and she has heart."

So basically clean up and the rest of the intel they were supposed to have retrieved. The mage nodded and would drive the distance. The pause in his description caught her attention, but all she did was raise her brows and drive.
"I'll keep that in mind."
She keeps on driving!

Winters would be quiet for most of the ride, until about half way there.
"So, vhat vould you say most stuck out to you about ze experiments you encountered."

Ali was surprised at the change in silence for a moment, nodding to herself. "There was a group of them, perhaps a dozen. All had white hair, but some had red eyes. They were very adamant about wanting to avoid people if they could and were focused on starting a life somewhere." Her thumb traced over the wheel. "Their leader is the one who healed us, I believe. They were able to return life to the land after it was destroyed and scorched. Reasonable. They were content to keep the weapons safe instead of any potential danger from us not knowing what they were." Like when someone picked up a Stinger and looked into it, sending Azure into a panic. She couldn't blame Azure for that choice.
"Why?"

Winters would nod along nothing really stood out to him.
"Zere is a generational evaluation to make from anything zat stands out. It also might reveal if zey are truly hiding for peaceful reasons or to bide time."
He would fold his arms.
"Make no mistake, Frau... Experiments, no matter how peaceful are always a danger."

Ali wasn't entirely sure now to take that. She had known what they were, known what it could mean. People still remembered the war and sometimes spoke of it, especially with an education that included history. She wasn't a fool...
"I understand." She struggled with how to aproach the obvious white hair sitting next to her. "Most of them may have kept away from us because a that as to make sure we weren't dangerous, either." They hadn't been mindless weapons like she'd heard of, but the conversation did make her a little uncomfortable to think of.
"I don't know what sort of trait you're looking for, I guess. Powers? Appearance?" She didn't know much about them, thinking of the tree they hung from while Donovan and she had spoken and the silk webbing they'd been bound in. The air blade that cut them down. It seemed normal enough qi and a tree that was part of tthe grassy, flowery cirle they'd been at.

He would glance at her with his ice blue eyes.
"Vell, experiments can appear normal. Zey can have vite hair, or red eyes, or both. Zey can be feral or cognoscente. Zey can be forever young, speak vith an old soul. Zey can also have a purpose."
He would look back at the road.
"Ze purpose is ze trait I seek. A 'Project' type experiment may mean zey have orders programmed into their brain zey have no control over."

She considered his words in silence for a moment. It was much more terrifying to think about the fact that someone without the visual flags could appear and cause damage before anyone ever knew. It left a chill down her spine; she opted to focus on the mention of Project, instead.
"I hadn't heard any mention of a Project, but we didn't stay for too long. The concern was to return and find a reliable means to retrieve the weaponry after the bandits had left, and the captives were tended to as well." She shook her head slightly.
"Projects like Project Judgement, then?"

Winters nodded.
"Exactly like Project Judgement. As tragic as it sounds, his actions are dictated by ze programming of his masters. Even free from the mental control he must serve his purpose."

She frowned a little more intensely.
"Do you think that's what he was referring to, then? Being more than the programming. He mentioned how having white hair and red eyes didn't mean you don't have feelings.

Winters shook hsi head resting his chin in his cupped hand.
"Zat is ze question really. His speech may have been recorded, but ze meaning still eludes us. Even speaking with people who would know has brought us no clue as to it's true meaning."

It wouldn't be that easy, naturally. But the vagueness reminded her that her own assumptions were exactly that - assumptions. Even if she stuck by them.
She continues driving in silence!

Winters would also remain silent the whole time.
