Lisa stayed quiet for a moment, waiting for Rhiannon's speech to be over with. Once her wife got heated up and began her ranting, it usually took a while to stop if the topic was something she was passionate about. Best course of action was to be patient and calm. She understood her attitude and opinion though. It was after all similar to Lisa's own, but unlike Rhia who was a bit more of an idealist and dreamer, Lisa was always more of a realist. There were many issues with their creation and should it be completed there'd be even more. There was absolutely no way they were going to be allowed to freely use it to explore the past. If anybody was going to be using it, it would be select people from the government that were specifically selected and more likely than not attempt to alter select points in history to their ends. Granted htere was absolutely no guarantee that they'd be able to. After all, will altering the past, erase THIS future and replace it with another or would it make the two exist parallel to one another? There was still much that wasn't explored and understood. She did agree with the possibilities and benefits of transportation technology based on the project however. That would certainly benefit their civilization!

Lisa's fingers tightly wrapped around the wheel, causing the leather on it to make sounds from the force.[color=f7941d]" Don't think we will be allowed to continue much forward on the project after we bring it to proper working state."[/color] She finally let out quietly.[color=f7941d]" We can dream all we want, Rhia, but fact is that they can and most likely will cut us off our creation once it's working. Tampering with the past is already too much an issue that might happen, if anybody is allowed to venture through or even use the machine, it would be carefully selected people that our 'superiors' have perfect trust in."[/color] She sighed, a bit tired honestly and not for being hungover still. [color=f7941d]"That is the reason, I just want to know what we should do after that happens. I mean persuing stable portal technology that can be widely avaible for hte public is a nice next goal. It would make space exploration and colonization viable and the possibilities go further beyond that indeed. But tinkering with time? I don't see us being allowed to do so."[/color] She said quietly.[color=f7941d]" I bet it would be part of the things to happen today, they will likely be bringing more 'interns' and staff. They are already having US train our replacements..."[/color]
