Brookhaven, New York.

One year ago.

The subject is BrianWentworth, an Mi-6 agent who

turned against the queen, and in theprocess, befriended a few people in

the Middle East that Uncle Samisn’t particularly fond of.

He was apprehended inAfghanistan last year, triedby a military tribunal, and

“executed.” I don’t need

to remind you he isconsidered highly

dangerous.

Well, that makes mefeel a lot better about

what we’re going todo to him.

My god…I don’t think

anything makes metotally ok withthis, Soraya.

“I do not believein immortality of the

individual, and I considerethics to be an exclusively

human concern with nosuperhuman authority

behind it.”Einstein.

Science hasno morality.

Let’s do this quickly.I want the subject downin the containment cell

and secured in fiveminutes.

No chances,no mistakes. Makesure he’s sedatedproperly. I want

a full preliminaryexam before

anything starts.No mistakes

this time. Thisis our last shotat getting this

right.And make

sure you do notremove therestraints.

I wasassured thesubject’scomplete

medical filewas being…

I want to explain to you how muchsuffering you’ve cost me… and forwhat? The greater good of whom?

I want to ask you who madeyou God as I squeeze yourskull till your eyes burstout from the pressure.

I want to ask you if it made you feelgood to come down to earth to toy

with us “mortals” as I dig thesenewfound claws into your intestinesand watch you quiver in pain.

I want to ask youso many things, but

all I can say is...

…You took everything from me.my life, my body…my love…I can’teven remember her name now.
