บท 283: Midnight Crystal (Part 8)

The hot steam from the newly made tea wafted before Adam's eyes, while wrinkles appeared on his face from time to time. 

Silvana sat in front of him, with a calm face, waiting for Adam to speak.

He had come here right after a long conversation with Katrin and to think it over again was his big mistake. He replayed her words in his head over and over again to make sure he remembered everything.

However, while Adam pondered he only stumbled upon new questions - the most important was about the Initial Gene and Spark. 

He already knew quite a bit about these things, especially after talking to Katrin, but Adam realized that there might be secrets he didn't know anything about.

Also, from time to time, Adam remembered Magnus's words, that every free scientist had his area and it was Aiden Henk who concentrated on Phantoms. This led to careful work with Spark, Evolution Tree, and Initial Gene.
