The implications of the experiments Ironwood talked about are pretty dark.

Like, whose souls were used for the first tests (that probably ended in horrible results)? Even if they used animal souls, it doesn't feel that much less cruel and aborrent.

Also, to get to the point where they are willing to try it out on Amber, you would think there has already been a phase with human testing. I have a hard time imagining someone would volunteer for that kind of experiments. .. unless Atlas indoctrination of its students is THAT good.

Which would really only speak horribly of Atlas gubernamental morality.

Really getting the impression that Ironwood was let into the Order very recently and only because Ozpin concluded they needed Atlas aura technology to keep Amber alive.
