PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT: Subject presents as intelligent, disciplined, and outwardly cooperative. Tends to maintain a calm and professional demeanor even under interrogation or intimidation. Subject appears to regard her scientific work as a means of preserving some fragment of her former identity.

Exploitation of these attachments are considered an effective means of maintaining compliance.

  ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ"Good morning, Maya."ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ
  
  
  ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ"..."ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ​
  
  ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ"You look tired."ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ
  
  
  ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ"..."ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ​
  
  ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ"Of course, you're a prisoner. I imagine you've had quite enough of people telling you what you are supposed to say.ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ Caf?"ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ
  
  
  ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ"..."ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ​
  
  ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ"I've read your research. Your midi-chlorian inheritance work is extraordinary."ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ
  
  
  ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ"..."ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ​
  
  ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ"Complicated, but exceptionally methodical. You have a talent for taking something most people regard as mystical nonsense and reducing it to measurable variables."ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ
  
  
  ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ"You've read my papers? Which ones?"ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ​
  
  ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ"Your early inheritance studies. The population comparisons. Some of your work regarding Force-sensitive children."ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ
  
  
  ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ"..."ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ​
  
  ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ"You should be proud of your work, Maya."ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ
  
  ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ"Let's start somewhere simple."ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ
  
  ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ"Tell me about the woman who became that scientist."ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ
• 
  ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ"Where were you born?"ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ
  
  
  ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ"Castell."ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ​
  
  ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ"What was your childhood like?"ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ
  
  
  ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ"Poor."ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ​
  
  ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ"In what way?"ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ
  
  
  ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ"My parents were factory workers. We didn't have much."ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ​
  
  ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ"Were they good parents?"ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ
  
  
  ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ"My mother tried."ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ​
  
  ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ"And your father?"ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ
  
  
  ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ"He drank a lot."ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ​

  ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ"Was that a reason why you gravitated towards science?"ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ
  
  
  ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ"Science made sense to me. If an experiment fails, it fails. If a compound reacts, it reacts. If a genetic sequence produces a result, that's the result. You can test it. Measure it. Replicate it."ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ​
  
  ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ"So science became something you could trust."ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ
  
  
  ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ"Science is truth. People are variable."ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ​
  
  ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ"But you wanted a husband. Children. A family. Doesn't that contradict what you just said?"ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ
  
  
  ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ"No. I wanted to build something better. I wanted to make sure I didn't repeat my parents' mistakes. I wanted to give my children everything I didn't have."ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ​
  
  ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ"A life... where you knew what was going to happen."ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ
  
  
  ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ"..."ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ​
  
  ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ"You know, Maya, there's something I find remarkable about your story."ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ
  
  ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ"You came from a childhood where you had almost nothing."ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ
  
  ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ"And instead of deciding that life owed you nothing, you decided life owed you more."ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ
