[Relieved as he may be, Carlisle shakes his head.]

I could have warned you what I was doing, but I chose not to. For that, I am sorry. Your reaction is not undeserved, and in truth, you have little reason to trust me, if my messages were all you had to go by.

[Maybe it's the memory loss, but Qubit took the fact Carlisle can compel people a lot harder this time around. He's sure the idea of losing his mind and free will is terribly sore at this time for Qubit, but given how much the technomancer values his cunning and intellect, perhaps it always has been. As losing himself is a very real fear for Carlisle, particularly these days, he can relate.]
