He says it with a fair amount of detachment, as though they're solely talking about investments here, when in reality his feelings are more mixed. On the one hand, he understands the politics behind the switch to regeneration-capable offworlders, while on the other he's caught thinking of his brother in that distant Arena, the horrible finality of his gruesome death. With that in mind, there seems to him a cheapness, an unfairness to the current system. There are too many things that death hadn't meant, and now, with the institution so changed, it seems even more irrelevant.
"Of course." He manages a hint of a smirk at that. "Needless to say, if I were in administration, I'd have undertaken some disciplinary action by now."
