I'm sure GenTech's facility is quite large (they're rich and autonomous, after all), so space can't be an issue. They probably had more than enough space to put them in separate rooms. Dennison indeed knew Kata's influence on Tau... but the other scientists seemed to be either oblivious or not care. Perhaps they didn't think anyone would have a lasting effect on Projects except them, because they are the creators (in their minds).

Can’t agree lesszhenya_reads wrote: ↑07 Apr 2020, 12:46 This is a very interesting question! Maybe the reason was that the only one who actually knew that Kata is in fact a human being, who can think for himself, was Mason. And Mason didn't seem to care too much about what exactly was going on - maybe he didn't even know that they were put into the same room. The other scientists thought that he was the same as Tau (even with his memory implants) and probably didn't even think about it. Although you make a very good point - why didn't they separate them once they saw what was happening?

Thinking about it more though, the only one that did know that Kata was actually a human was Mason himself, someone proved to be incapable of running the facility, and the remaining doctors/researchers/employees must not have thought too much about keeping two Projects in the same room. Until recently, Projects had never been able to speak, and Projects never learned to disobey or even think for themselves. They had little to no reason to think that housing two together would cause any issue.

Very well stated, I agree. It is almost a new level of the sociological game the scientists play with the projects.Barbara6886 wrote: ↑11 Apr 2020, 16:15 I think this has to do with people devaluing those they feel are inferior. GenTech thought they were superior and in control. Therefore, they saw no danger in allowing Tau and Kata to share quarters. Look back throughout history. How many societies that practiced slavery kept the slaves separated? They used mental manipulation and physical violence to control them. Uprisings were brutally put down. GenTech, like others who have tried to enslave people, miscalculated due to their own ego.
