[Private to the Admiral | Audio]
[Ugh, he doesn't want to do this.] Return Mariska's duplication ability at one half strength.
[Public | Audio]
[He's feeling a little terse.] I have returned Mariska's duplication ability at one-half strength, with the understanding she will only use it in self-defense. [Yes, he is very unsure about this.] If she doesn't use them in this way, she is aware there will be consequences. [Both in losing her abilities and people defending themselves.] This will allow her to produce four copies of herself that she remains in communal contact with. If she is attacked for no reason, I will defend her.
[And he's out. Because he has to go scrub his face like that would remove the memory of her breathing in it. He has a feeling he's going to have to go kidnap a legitimate genesmith from his universe and figure out a way to save that baby himself.]
[Private to Castiel, Buffy, Dracula, and Dean]
[And he comes back to add...]
I would like to speak to you if you would be willing. I admit to being hesitant to return any of her abilities. I am out of my realm of expertise, but I know that I need to give her the chance to behave responsibly with her abilities rather than jump to any conclusions.
However, if something does happen, I would like to be prepared. She's susceptible to head shots, and her bite is currently not infectious.

I told her that in my culture with as many species as we have, we still call forcing someone to propagate your own kind "rape" even if it doesn't involve human standards of sex, but as someone who originally came from a free love society she can't grasp the idea that one is as bad as the other.
[He rubs his hands down his face.]
It's "different because they return to life better".
[Private]
That's just- Great. Agreeing with you on the rape-y vibe.
[She rubs her eyes briefly.]
Maybe look into other kinds of.. Er- [She does the air-quotes.] "Enlightenment." Y'know. The kinds people have.
O-Or. ...I've got nothing.
[Private]
She used a number of hallucinatory drugs. I don't think she'll see any other way to enlightenment- I have to resolve myself to just convincing her she can't just change people against their will to something they don't want to be.
[Private]
Maybe there'll be some kind of flood or something that turns her into something she really really doesn't wanna be. That could help.
[Pause. Blank face.] Oh god I just mentioned floods in a positive way.
[Private]
I think my only option is to stick with my ideals and make sure she doesn't harm anyone. But I don't suspect people will be leaping over one another to befriend her.
