Notes: I'm pretty sure Roderigo Borgia's plans are in the running for Most Triumphant Example of a Xanatos Roulette. Concrit welcome.
You have before you a choice. Both your wife and your mistress are pregnant. Both have been under the influence of subordination-inducing drugs. Both fetuses have half your DNA; both, controllable through that DNA. Both would produce similar results as you upon experimentation.
Which to keep subordinate? Which to concentrate psychic experimentation upon, at the cost of obedience?
You have before you a choice. Whichever way the cards may fall, make a plan for it. Every fiber of your brain will awaken, and scream if they must, as long as they are awake.
It's time to put them to work.
