“…one of my navigators came to me and said he could not get a parachute. Instead of staying at their section till the flyers took off, the officers and enlisted men in the equipment section locked up and left, and my navigator couldn't get a chute before a mission. Enraged, I took the young navigator in my jeep to the parachute shop, kicked the door to splinters, and took a parachute. Then I went to the Officers' Mess, chewed out the supply officer in front of his friends, and ordered him to go back and repair the door.”
Harry Crosby in his memoir, A Wing and a Prayer

In the novel where Norman is very very sick when he was little, Ray is afraid that Isabella may be forced to send Norman to the QG, right? But Norman wouldn't be killed and eaten then: he's too smart, they would want to keep him alive as long than possible so his brain would be at his best. He would probably be kept asleep until he was healed, and would be send back to the orphenage after that, right? It's just Ray who thinks it means obligatory death? or it 100% means death?
Krone's story in the second light novel touches upon the protocol for when a child is seriously ill:
So it's difficult but not impossible to send them back to the plants. And with Norman being the first child in Grace Field's recorded history to excel by the metrics they measure from his very first test at age four, it seems highly unlikely they would kill him prematurely even if Peter hadn't taken a special interest in him. They might have sedated him enough so his time at headquarters was like a fever haze where he wouldn't be sure what was real and what was fake, or they might have kept him there until he turned twelve, but killing him early seems foolish with the sunk cost put into him and his potential.
(TPN Light Novel 1: A Letter from Norman - “The Day Emma Cried”)
Ray's working with limited information, though, and the fear of losing Norman is very real to him, even if it isn't necessarily to imminent death.
