[It's the nerdiest thing ever, but he's making a mental note to keep an eye out for Gold classes in later seasons before looking down at the papers.
He... can't really lie about this. The math is right there, and he knows his calculations are correct based on the data Xenk provided. Kind of hard to twist the facts around when you're the one who helped establish them.
His hands move to his lap, his fingers curling so he can dig his nails into his palms. His voice, however, remains its usual flat tone.]
.... There's a chance it could help.
[Oh God, is he going to get more thralls killed? There's a good chance this is all purely hypothetical, but even just the possibility makes it feel like his vision is going to start shaking.]
But that doesn't take into account crap like optics. A lot of the Silver Court's big on thrall welfare, a plan like this could really piss them off. Not to mention you'd have to weigh the short term gain of saving some subjects over the long term loss of subjects and resources. I could try to calculate out the probabilities of different outcomes with enough data, but with people involved there would probably be an element of randomness that can't fully be accounted for.
