Priestess Mirai al Tyr: Some notes and files

Paramour

Thank you.

I will take this into consideration and give it further thought.

In the meantime, there is another issue I would like a short report on, but I will create another file for it aside from this one. Perhaps we should start splitting some of these into other files and keep this for our personal discourse since we see each other rarely.

There would indeed be another important agenda item that I would greatly prefer to talk to you about in person. This concerns the potential license for the Wizard Pastuzo, and others.

A "subject zero" will be required, to test certain limits of what may still be considered acceptable given the extreme potential for harm posed to our kingdom by the current rat plague. This limit would need to be duly noted and specified for any subsequent tests that are to be based on the licence to be issued.

I have already identified a suitable subject for this crucial pre-signing test-run, and they have given their agreement. This would only have to still be formalized in writing.

However, it would make me feel much better about this, if I might win you for the role of an independent observer, with the authority to determine that point in the (repeated) dosage where ethical concerns for an individual might have to be balanced against the expected good for the many. Neither myself nor the wizard could be regarded as suitable for that most demanding role. Therefore, I was hoping you might attend in this function. If nothing else, I suppose it might provide you with some insights into the character of the wizard, as well as into my own.

I have heard of a number of often controversial suggestions on how to deal with the rat plague in recent weeks. It is my hope that this might turn out to be the most promising, and the one most likely to claim the fewest (ideally none) innocent casualties.

Therefore, please hear me out on this, when we finally manage to meet in person.

I very much agree with you on this one point, Priestess. "Being clever does not equate to being right". Indeed. We can only try our best. Including the consideration, of what book to pick when given insufficient information. I feel abhorred to just begin to imagine what you might have done there.

Think of the human loss.. not that of animals. And then, perhaps, we can actually work together to find the ethically most acceptable approach.
