[h2][color=421A8C]Sapphire Rode[/color] - Shelter Lab[/h2]
This was it, her conclusive proof of what was happening on this island. This facility was developed for the sole purpose of removing what made a faunus a faunus. At first glance perhaps that might be a good thing and no doubt Pop saw it as such but this was a powder keg just waiting to blow the moment Pop lite the fuse by announcing his success to the world. This was going to come to blows. Sapphire knew that now. Clearly this was Pop's lifelong dream and he wouldn't give it up when merely confronted with words. No doubt he wouldn't give up even when confronted with force but it would stop him. 

Legally speaking Sapphire didn't think there was anything inherently wrong with Pop's research. All participants were volunteers who understood exactly what the procedure entailed. There was no deliberate or unnecessary harm being done to the subjects. Perhaps Pop could be charged with malpractice if the surgery went wrong but beyond that the law seemed to have no jurisdiction here. There was however a moral qualm that went with this and that was exactly what Pop was failing to see.

Sapphire would try to explain it to him, she would try to make him see but if she was being honest with herself the only way this ended was torching Pop's research and forcing him to start from scratch. Hopefully the setback would cause him to give up entirely. There was something else nagging at her though. The animals upstairs. The ones kept sedated in cages, how did they factor into this. There was not reason to give out the story about this place researching animals with high aura levels. This was private property. Pop wouldn't be required to provide any information to the government about his work. This however remained an unsettling feeling in the back of Sapphire's head and so she did not act upon it... yet.

[color=0054a6]"I'm sorry Pop but that explanation it exactly what I was afraid of. You're an optimist and a scientist which is causing you to completely miss the bigger picture."[/color]

The information he provided regarding his semblance, assuming it was true, was helpful in plotting a strategy. [color=0054a6]"You're too busy pushing the boundaries of possibility and looking at that nice pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, your science prize that you can't see anything else. What you've created here, even I will admit that it's a wonder of modern medicine but I can't let it leave this facility intact."[/color]

As Sapphire was speaking she assembled her polearm so that she could hold it in one hand. With the other she discreetly removed her scroll from her back pocket and texted her teammates with the scroll behind her back. Assuming she pressed all the right buttons, not being able to see the screen and all the message looked something like this:

[color=0054a6]"Pop think about this for a second. I know you're only concern at the moment is the science but consider the impact this could have. What happens when faunus activist groups find out? Protests, riots. Now lets go one step up, what happens when the White Fang gets wind of this? They slaughter you and your family and they try to destroy your research. On the flip side, what happens when the Schnee Dust Company considers this treatment an effective way to combat the White Fang, how long after that till the military is thinking the same thing. After that when do we start considering all faunus suspicious of terrorist activity and round them up for this treatment [i]as a precaution[/i]. This right here. What you've created could easily be the blueprint for the faunus final solution. The best possible outcome for everyone here is for you to burn your research right here, right now. I tell my teachers something to cover for what actually happened and you never bring it up again. But considering that [i]this[/i] is your life's work and your dream I can't see you taking the peaceful route."[/color]

Sapphire drew her polearm diagonally over her body in a defensive stance preparing for combat to commence. [color=0054a6]"I can't let this procedure see the light of day. It could take years or even decades but research like this could lead to an all out bloody war. Do you really want to be responsible for the second faunus wars? Cause if it happens then we both lose, human and faunus. We all suffer, we all bleed, we [i]all[/i] die. Do you want that blood on your hands?"[/color]
