[ Perhaps "secret" is a strong word, but it seems that she's piqued his intrigue. ]
You're aware that a number of us here do not completely trust the locals, correct?
[ And this mistrust seems to be on a spectrum from cautious to hiding entire projects. It's reasonable to have, really, and this isn't to say that Pyra herself doesn't have doubts. ] The samples acquired from beyond the barrier... We turned all of them in to the locals first. In return, they handed me a report, as well as the samples back. What I passed to Verstael were only a sampling of two out of five we acquired-- just the soil and a bit of the air. The flower, the skull of the creature, and the ooze I've kept for myself to examine further.
I do not completely believe that not working with the locals is the best course of action to take... And I know that some here, Verstael included, might not be open to that idea.
