  1. There’s the old trope, too kinky to torture. This appears to be a case of too willing to talk to interrogate.

    Or… Corvus could be stalling. History indicates that the story about the oranges takes roughly 47 minutes to tell. Corvus is also, despite his seeming denseness, familiar with the concept of threats (they are probably worth a lot of demerits). Could he be more perceptive than he lets on?

If killing with kindness were an actual thing, Corvus would be death on legs. Since it remains just an idiom, what the OM thought Corvus would do remains unclear. It didn’t even bother to give Corvus a concrete explanation of his goals. I suppose he could just be a vector for infectious nyanotech, and microbots are meant to keep Tussel from doing whatever leads to the Guardian Moon.
