Marcus did attempt solutions. He hired Dr Renn, a canine behaviourist with twenty years of experience. Renn lasted three sessions. On the fourth visit, he arrived to find Marsh already in the study, raising concerns. “I’ve heard troubling things about his methodology,” Marsh said. “From whom?” Marcus asked.
Marcus eventually dismissed Renn. Six weeks later, Marsh steered him away from a containment proposal put forward by Priya, Marcus’s assistant—a permanent east-wing enclosure that would have made Titan a non-factor overnight. “Catherine would have hated him caged,” Marsh said softly, echoing Marcus’s thoughts. Marcus did not pursue it.
