I've heard about the collars that neutralize a person's magical abilities.
Do they still use those in this new Verdana?
If so, how do they react when used on a non-human?
Are they turned human too or are their abilities simply taken away?

Do you mind if I ask you a favour?

Most people in general.
I guess they don't understand that curiosity and the pursuit of knowledge
Is a pretty compelling reason to try new things.

Although I still don't trust the Authorities
I know I'll likely never be perceived as a threat
But I know of someone who might, in the future
And I'd like to make sure it wouldn't hurt them.

Do you need three to put one on?

No, one other person who knows how to work them should do it. But that one other person and the collar isn't going to be me and mine unless you have your three with you. I don't want any misunderstandings about my intentions, and I don't want you trapped and freaking out without a really quick way out of it again. This is pretty heavy stuff you're curious about.

I don't know three people who would help me with this.
I know one person who might though.
Even if it's scary it's something I have to try.

Well, I can't say I haven't been faced with that sort of decision before, myself.

Find your three people and I'll let you try.

I will message them and then get back to you.

[ after confirming with his 3 people! ]

I have 3 people who will help!
One of them can do it either during her lunch break or any time after 4pm.
What time works best for you?

Glad to hear it. My schedule's flexible, since it's mostly working on the ship, so if you get me a time I'll show up with the collar and explain to you all how it works and how to remove it.

I probably won't stay through the whole thing -- I think Salvation's at a pretty critical point with that countdown running and I don't want to leave her too long.
