“We have a
user name,” Fox tells Beech, ignoring Ms Firnley yet again. “I'm
sure we'll be able to trace the initial imbalance with that.”
“Why
children I wonder? Surely adult minds would have been more
effective.”
“I believe
they've chosen juvenile minds” Fox replies “because they are so
much more open to wonder, less encumbered by scepticism, less rooted
in the Warp.”
“What does
'rooted in the Warp' mean?” Ms Firnley asks. “Is that some new
Ofsted jargon?”
“And your
thoughts on restoring the balance here?” Beech asks.
“I did
some poking around while I was waiting for your arrival” Fox tells
him. “I looked at reverse programming, but they're working at a
very fast pace. I'm not sure we'd have enough time before they
complete whatever it is they're working on. The prospect of that
happening leads me to believe that structural alterations are the
surest way of restoring balance.”
