It was just an experiment, Kratos wanted to say, but he understood. It was not in Lloyd's nature to see evidence of evil and force indifference, as his father was wont to do - something Kratos admired, even as he dismissed the cold, dehumanizing tone of the experiment logs as simply a consequence of reality.
"And we are seeking to put an end to it," he reminded Lloyd gently. "Save your anger for the appropriate parties." There was a practical bent to his words as well: the last thing they needed was for something or someone unwanted to wander in because the volume of Lloyd's voice had attracted it.
Kratos turned back to the computer and noticed that Castiel had now moved on to the contents of his screen. Just as well, he supposed: although it was expected that Landel carefully account for all of his experiments, that didn't mean he or any other sane person wanted to read through all of said accounts. "This is...home," he said, and hated how his voice caught briefly - not so much because he missed Sylvarant (which he did), but because it had never truly been his home, a sentiment that dated back to the Kharlan War. "One half of it, to be more precise."
He returned to the listing and scrolled down to click on "Tethe'alla". "Its twin," Kratos explained as the next listing popped up. "The two planets are innately connected to one another." He sighed and lingered on the slowly revolving image of the planet before beginning to look through the data on the side. "...and apparently some several million light-years away." The term "light-year" was unfamiliar, but its meaning seemed slightly inherent.
