"No," Bilal said. "There is no way that I'll ever allow it!"
Henry shuffled back and forth. He dismissed his team and then looked at Raj and Bilal as they sat on the edge of their examining platform wearing just underwear.
All of their tentacles were exposed and Henry wanted to remove half of one of Raj's tentacles to see if it would regenerate. Bilal didn't mind if they removed one of his but he wouldn't allow them to maim his child.
"Don't ask again Henry," Bilal said angrily. "I won't allow it."
"It is completely up to you, Bilal. And you know that I would never hurt the child. It would be completely pain-free. And if the child could regenerate his limbs then it would be an amazing find for the Collective-"
"You can experiment on me." Bilal interrupted.
