While hotly debated as being to their detriment, the contribution of Dr DesMarques to the outer reaches of human colonisation cannot be seen as wholly destructive, even after leading to their own untimely death at the hands of the students they themself trained.

In their memoirs they spoke openly of the process used in the formation of the children they trained at the Tia-Dawa Facility. In the doctors words; "While morally complicated, the real difficulty in creating a weapon capable of controlling the machines we used in the war, was finding a way to give a single person the ability to exist in multiple states, where one could live and be a viable human being, and in the next breath be able to erase a colony without hesitation. placing many minds in one head was the only viable option"

The Tia-Dawa Facility housed at its height over a hundred students. The difficulty in producing Medus-Psicon Children was that, with am expected 21% viability for every embryo, a projected survival rate of 14% for the surrogates, and a mortality rate of 91% in each year of training, thousands of children had to be produced monthly to supply the war effort with viable pilots. Public opinion of occupying forces was not assisted by the six to eight year old pilots guiding million tonne machines of war, especially when they proved to be ruthless and calculated one moment, but regular children the next, reinforcing the stereotype that any child from off planet could be one of them.

In their final years as the lead, Dr. DesMarques became commonly referred to as "the proffesors" among facility students. It came to light that their withdrawal from sight was largely due to undergoing their own Snakehead procedure, it is still debated academically as to whether this was voluntarily or not. Dr's Angelo Antoinette, Desmond Piederson and Sussanah Marques-Piederson went from the foremost minds in psychology, neural alchemistry, and neuron modification respectively, to being recognised as Dr Antoinette DesMarques, one of the most decorated, influential and vilified personalities of the conflict between the years of 2501 and 2510. They faced their death at the hands of students loyal to the uprising, a vidcon of which can still be viewed and bought from the national museum of Dr. Antoinette DesMarques death, as they were crushed viscerally by the hands of the machine they piloted following a viral attack on their equipment.
