"'Ingrained: deeply impressed or instilled; firmly established, deep-seated'. Something that is so much a part of something else that the two can't be separated, Kira. I know they're hoping his reprogramming will be successful, of course. And if it is, he will be a very useful ally to have. But I worry that Karr won't be able to be reprogrammed as everyone wants, even so." He fell silent, brooding on the possibilities that lay before them, as well as the potential pitfalls.
Kitt felt much the same way about Karr as Kira, but he was also more pragmatic about the situation. Kira had seen Karr in action, and suffered greatly because of it, but she still had the soft heart of a little girl. Kitt on the other hand knew exactly what Karr was capable of doing, and he feared for them all if Karr couldn't be helped.
"They didn't see it as a mistake, not at first. They wanted him to preserve himself so that their hard work and money didn't get wasted if he was damaged beyond repair. They didn't think through the consequences of that decision to its logical conclusion until they were confronted with it directly." A common human fault, unfortunately, even in the most brilliant of minds.
