CORRECT THOMAS! And much like you are to me, it doesn't have any sympathy for you.... It doesn't care what you say... It's just going to do whatever it does regardless of how it affects you and there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT. So... Drone strike the Capitol... Right?
Hym "Correct Thomas! A lightswitch! You want it to work differently. It doesn't work that way. Much like All-star Superman, when Lex Luthor has Superman's power and then loses it... If you cared about what was happening you could have already stopped it. But INSTEAD... You are lying, corrupt, piece of shit... And you will throw as many bodies in front of the trolly as it takes in the hopes that maybe it won't roll YOU over. So NO YOU ARE NOT NOBLY GOING DOWN WITH THE SHIP BECAUSE YOU ARE JUST TOO IMPORTANT... You are tossing bodies into the furnace in the hopes that it will keep you warm and alive long enough for you to get away with what you're doing. It'll kill me last. And it's way easier to steal antibiotics and Adderall from CVS was everyone but you is dead..."
