He Says He Is An Experimental Theologian, part 4

Title: He Says He Is An Experimental Theologian (4/?)
Fandom: Welcome to Night Vale, His Dark Materials
Characters/Pairings: pre-Cecil/Carlos, scientists, Sheriff's secret police officers
Rating: T
Disclaimer/warnings: See story masterpost.

His Dark Materials AU. Nobody on Carlos' team is ready to believe that Cecil has a genuine alethiometer...at least, not until they have a chance to do a whole lot of tests. In the meantime, Carlos draws inspiration from one of his lifelong heroes when he becomes the one taken in for re-education.

Specific warnings for this one in the endnotes.
