To be honest, Torri didn't know what protocol applied here either. Marcus was a civilian and shouldn't have any authority over her. Yet she wasn't so naive as to think powerful people in the CCD government couldn't make demands of her. He didn't press the issue, thankfully.
She couldn't fathom what sort of systemic analysis one could undertake with this power, let alone how external matter might influence it. Resonance? Like sound waves? Her brows furrowed deep in thought.
Then, his true agenda revealed itself. She crossed her arms and studied the imposition of Marcus' presence. This was the sort of man to curl people through his fingers like strings. Even if Torri had a better answer, she wasn't sure if she would reveal it to Sigma Marcus. "We've found no energy or fluctuation to indicate the presence of these forces other than its output. I've found patterns that indicate heightened senses of concentration or stress in a user, however. That is the only pattern I've observed. As to a biological link, well I'm working on it. The Ascendancy receives my regular reports."
She hoped deferring to the Ascendancy would remind him just who it was she answered to, exactly.
"You could provide some useful information. Fluid samples, brain scan, family history, known relatives."
She could take a blood sample right there if he was willing.
