[Aberrant] "The NovaWatcher" posts an inside look at the Bahrain facility to the "NovaWatch" OpSite.

Or, at least, fragments of an inside look, put together from "confidental UN documents obtained by this opsite" and "[i]nformation smuggled out to this site by informants we dare not name", get onto "The OpSite of Skeptical Inquiry into All Things Nova". The NovaWatcher states that the Bahrain lab isn't really a Rashoud facility. After all, proper Rashoud facilities like the one in New York

are for testing new novas, helping them learn about their powers (and of course, letting PU learn about their powers too) and recruiting new novas into PU. The facility in Bahrain is [...] intended to test, not new novas, but older novas who are experiencing "high levels of quantum buildup" — whatever that means. [link added by present editor] It doesn't sound very healthy.

And the 'Watcher is worried that

any novas, which the UN or PU get upset about, for whatever reason, might just wind up here for "testing." The sort of testing performed in windowless labs deep underground where no one can hear the screams.

Hugh has probably seen this page; he keeps an eye on NovaWatch, to see if they know anything they shouldn't, or anything that might help Æon. He'd like to be able to reassure them, but that would mean explaining about taint. He thinks the world is ready for that knowledge, but Æon and Utopia disagree, so he bites his tongue and bows to their judgment. For now.
