[His phone doesn't pick up the hn he lets out on his end. At least Mel is always honest with him, even when the topic is grim. Maybe he should do the same, spot beating around the proverbial bush.]
You think there's anything they could do about me? If I asked?
[ She hates that the answer is likely 'yes'. Patho-Gen will help the Augmented if it means getting something in return, like trust. That's how things were with Viktor... But that was so many months ago and Patho-Gen has been none-too-pleased with them lately. ]
They could, but likely for a price. And they may not be able to help you right this moment with that wall of meat around.
[And he hates that idea, but does he hate it more than the thought of him hurting his friends? Of becoming a monster?]
I don't trust them, but I can't live like this. I can't put people at risk. Can't put all people have been working toward at risk, either. All the goodwill in the world ain't going to matter if even one of us ruins it. Damned if I do, damned if I don't.
[ For now, Pom is the only one she's hearing is struggling with as much hunger as he is...but he isn't likely to be the last either. Some kind of solution has to be found. Mel simply despises that he's the one who will need to be the first and Patho-Gen can do anything to him. ]
I would tell you to go to Celia but I don't believe she's been found. Of the employees there, she's the only one I'd trust to do her best for you.

They might also see it as a way of leashing you.
