I can't say that only a few test subjects would be enough. But I also can't claim that I know exactly what their aim is, whether they've made any headway or not, or even what aspect of the Cwyld they are so fascinated by. I can only speak in potentials and hypotheticals at this juncture. Their treatment of victims may not be that different from what happened with the kidnapping and the torture of many Mirrorbound and refugees, which could at times generously be considered experiments.
I do know one thing, however: they're mad, and they're inducing madness in their members somehow. Be on your guard. The less Mirrorbound I have to deal with like I did Mettaton, the better for us all.
And I doubt that either of us, nor indeed most people, are likely to be convinced on the validity of their research any time soon.
And if their studies are anything like those conducted by the Rathmores'... something that I believe we both have firsthand accounts of- I'm sure you can understand my hesitation in believing that anything at all usable will come of it.
[There's a slight delay before he sends the rest; if nothing else, Soren's warnings have gotten through to him in part. No more stray pucas, attracting the wrong sort of attention.]
I'll do what I can to keep Mettaton indoors until I can convince him to go to the Coven with me to be cured. Separated from whatever inciting madness they're provoking, I'll restore to him his sense.
[Except that doesn't happen and they both die but welp.]
