I was talking to Regina about what we were planning, to see what she'd think about it.
She said she'd known it was something we were trying to do, but the reality of actually testing on people was a little difficult to process. She also said that although not everyone would agree with her, she wanted this done, and if Fu had been a sleeper, she would have agreed to have it tested on him. So there's that.
She also said that it's customary for Muggles to call unknown men John Smith, and unknown women Jane Smith. Perhaps we should use a similar custom for our own unknown.
I've also passed along the news to Davidson, with a request not to let others know until we have a greater degree of certainty. He's cautiously on board as well, and, Will being Will, immediately brought it round to review our previous conversations of tactical uses should we prove successful. (He's already generated a list of priority targets, naturally, although the logistics of supplying, arming, and housing give us both headaches.) It's all been hypothetical, of course, as it always has been, it's just more potentially immediate now than it has been before.
I am honestly uncertain of Poppy's reaction, but I've sent what assurances I can, as well as letting her know we're all doing this with eyes wide open about the possible risks. We'll see.
