It would not do to subject the heirs to the risk of an untested cure. For that reason we are going to need test-subjects, strong men and women of noble stature under various degrees of taint. It should not be too difficult to find volunteers. What Samurai would not sacrifice himself for such a great cause, when with the risk of death comes the hope of salvation?  The Lion Clan will be able to contribute a handful of tainted samurai, who have served on the Wall with the Crab. I believe most other clans should be able to gather quite a few as well, surely a sufficient number for our purposes. In preparation for the experiments we should try to explore all available options theoretically. I have a couple of ideas that might be worthwhile..." [ooc: Hey, he's the scholar, not I.

This work is being undertaken in secrecy and even the test-subjects themselves won't know the reason for their orders until they have been brought to our research facilities. Not even then will they know that some of the imperial heirs might be tainted, if that became publicly known it might demoralise the Empire.</blockquote>
