001. Turnabout the City - [Voice]

Oct 24, 2010 22:19

If I may have your attention for a moment, I would like to discuss several important matters with those whom the city identify as 'mutants', such as - disturbingly - myself.

First I would like to know your names and a little about yourselves and the worlds that you believe you come from. This is very important. While personal security is certainly ( Read more... )

How sweet.

Liquid Snake. A codename, nothing more. I'm not sure you want to hear about my world. You'd probably be set against me from the start and my, wouldn't we not want that?

...tch. I can guess the basics of the laws. [His disapproval comes through clear.]

Voice deducebylogic October 24 2010, 20:36:54 UTC

It is not up to me to judge you according to your past, particularly as our existance here throws that past entirely into doubt. What matters to me is simply obedience to the laws here. Fall astray of them, and my opinion may change.

Voice ysobritish October 24 2010, 20:42:15 UTC

Your opinion is irrelevant. I have no concern for you or your wretched laws.

You wish to know the past? Fine. I come from a world where war is considered to be the most important thing by the government. Where they're willing to risk anything and everything to gain the strongest weapons, even going against international law to ensure they're the strongest. I come from a world where soldiers are tools wielded by foolish politicians who don't know what they're facing.

My past... let me see. I was raised for war... I had killed by the time I hit my fourteenth birthday... SAS, SIS, a few mercenary jobs, the US military's special FOXHOUND unit... oh, and then I went rogue, became a terrorist and died from a biological weapon while threatening the entire world with nuclear weapons in exchange for some money and my father's corpse.

[Yeah. Don't judge that, Edgeworth? He thinks that's bullshit.]

Voice deducebylogic October 24 2010, 20:48:55 UTC

Nnngh...

[Well maybe he was lying about not judging him. Still, what was he supposed to say when extracting information from others? "Yes, I will hate you forever based on your word alone."]

You cannot do such things here, regardless. Perhaps you were above the law in your own mind, but that is not true here.

[Liquid burst out into blatant laughter, loud and raucous. There's minor hysteria in it, the signs that he's not quite all there. Only if you're looking, of course. Otherwise, it's just an unnerving laugh.]

Don't make me laugh.

Voice deducebylogic October 24 2010, 21:10:08 UTC

I have heard such laughter before, from men on the witness stand who thought as you do that the value of their own lives far outweighed that of others.

Voice ysobritish October 24 2010, 21:11:05 UTC

Then you're deluded.

My life has no value to anyone. I am little more than a monster.

Voice deducebylogic October 24 2010, 22:00:25 UTC

Repentance is the first step, I'm told.

Voice ysobritish October 24 2010, 22:01:46 UTC

I am far from repentant. Everything I've done I would do again - and likely will. It's what I was designed for, born for... what I was raised to do. There is no other option.

Voice deducebylogic October 24 2010, 22:09:09 UTC

When given the choice, you would kill rather than save another's life, if killing served your purposes better, is that correct?

Voice ysobritish October 24 2010, 22:11:49 UTC

...give me a moment.

[He ponders the issue, frowning.]

That... is a rather awkwardly worded question. If the sacrifice was unnecessary, or involved the life of a civilian or someone uninvolved... then I would sooner take the risk of sparing them in favour of finding another method. But that does not mean I would not put them in that risk if it were the only option I saw open.

Voice deducebylogic October 24 2010, 23:47:01 UTC

A carefully worded answer, and no less condemning. Assuming the latter situation@ were the choice be between putting your own life at risk and theirs, which would you?

Voice ysobritish October 24 2010, 23:50:38 UTC

...if the option were for myself to die or them... hm. That's actually a curious one. Frankly, nobody's ever been foolish enough to try that.

I don't actually know. I think... I'd kill the one that put us in that situation.

Voice deducebylogic October 27 2010, 09:44:35 UTC

Hypothetical questions, I expect, will get us nowhere. None the less, understand this: killing for duty is not the same as killing for self-gain. I will be watching.

Voice ysobritish October 27 2010, 11:52:08 UTC

I've done both and I know the difference.

Watch all you want. I'll make sure it's an interesting show.

Voice deducebylogic October 28 2010, 18:23:57 UTC

Whether or not it is interesting is not my prerogative. The lawfulness is.
