"It is very serious, Dr. Geiszler, and I think I can trust you to treat it as such," Baelheit says with that solemn calm he always seems to carry, leaning forward with his arms resting on his desk. Note how he doesn't exactly answer the question. It's not all that important.
"Regardless, this is the reason we brought you on to our Cybernetics Division. Your expertise is singularly valuable, and could have profound effects on our research. It will require no more of a commitment than what you do now, but you will be considerably more hands-on with the research. Nothing so abstract as mere theory, you see. This is the current core of our research. And make no mistake -- this is critical research, however guarded a secret it may be now. Humanity is on the cusp of a new era...and if we work together, we can help to usher the world into it. We can become much, much more than we are, and you can be a part of that, Dr. Geiszler, in ways you would never have dreamed..."

"Dr. Frost and I had to be sure you could be trusted, that you could, indeed, commit yourself to the pursuit of knowledge and innovation on behalf of humanity...now, all that is left is for you to decide for yourself. What will you do, Dr. Geiszler?"
