Dear Laura,
My Hand, 'scoota94', has been working in his GEN-LAB and I think he is trying to create a new type of Norn! I found a blueprint titled 'NORNI HUMAE', but I couldn't dechiper all of it! I got a F in school for Handish. I'm worried that this new Norn might be deadly, as the blueprint mentioned the phrase 'genetically unstable'! What the heck does that even mean!? Do you think I should be worried?

Dear Evelyn,
My own knowledge of Handish suggests to me that this ?NORNI HUMAE? blueprint, that you speak of, details the plans for a new Norn whose genetic makeup may share a chromosome or two with the Hand itself!
It's no secret that Hands have always been experimental, with ways and means that only they know of. If this is the case, you really ought to give this new Norn a chance when it?s imported. A Hand-like Norn would be an extremely convenient presence to have in your world, in the event of the Hand going AWOL (imagine having a Norn around that knows how to fight disease!) and who knows? It could be that this Norn is a kind, gentle being who?s just misunderstood. It would be unfair to judge its character purely on maladjusted genes. I know that, to you, it may feel like your Hand is overstepping its boundaries right now, but I?m sure it only has its Norns? best interests at heart.
