    There were those who willfully made the wrong choices for short term profits.


    Irene certainly learned her lesson this time.


    "Do you know what''s going to happen if you insist on being so stubborn?" Her interrogator red at


    her. "You''re pregnant. Shouldn''t you think of your child, even if you don''t care about yourself?”


    Irene''s fingers clenched. "I told you-I admit to damaging the research effort, and I''ll take my punishment


    ordingly."


    After all, the hospital could only fire her and demandpensation, but it seems that the Minervan


    government wanted to make her crime a bigger issue than it was.


    She knew all too well that if she confessed, they would use her to cause an international conflict. Her
