[Being new to the Bastion...and just generally not having a good grasp on the subject at hand left Ippo pretty much in the dark as to what was being discussed, in reality he had just followed Rin over once he had noticed a gathering was taking place. However, an alternative energy source might not be such a bad idea if put to the right kind of use]

Well...I'm not exactly knowledgeable in this area, but...it couldn't hurt to look more into this, could it? I mean...if we figure out no good can come from it, then we can always get rid of these things then; but if we can put what we learn to good use...isn't that chance alone worth checking into it?
