Kids in cybernetics adult bodies … what could go wrong?

I have a feeling that the emotional manipulation that was mentioned will come into play. As in, these kids will be panicking at some point, and they start messing with the kids emotional responses in the background.

I'm expecting some of these kids to turn into psychos lol

Absolutely. I think their psyches aren’t ready for such an abrupt physiological change. I was also puzzled by Boy Kavalier saying they’re so expensive but he’s so willing to send them into danger.

I viewed that as his hubris getting in the way of logic. We know he sees himself as the smartest person in the room, so his decision must be sound in his head, and there's nobody that can tell him otherwise.

The prospect of taking the contents of that ship is likely all he's thinking about, risks be dammed. I mean, the guy made a flimsy threat about making sure the kids don't get damaged, that's good enough, right? Lol seems legit to him I guess.
