Hadley listened to what this woman was saying, but for a second it didn't make sense. Publishing? Propaganda? HUUHH!? But then it clicked. Hadley blinked once, realised her question had been misinterpreted, then started again. "
Yes, I understand all that. I'm not looking at being published BY the ministry, it was more a question of uh… research. My ultimate goal of my book is to help people in understanding the creatures I work with, but I was more asking about the ministry supporting workers who wanted to do an independent research project." You know, the book would be her finishing goal, but she couldn't support her research 100% by herself. Field trips, bringing in spirits to speak with, researching in and out of work… that sort of thing.
