How long have you worked for Section 31?
I don't.
[scoffs] Just a "temporary alliance"?
Something like that.
And you don't see anything wrong with what happened?
I don't like it, but I've spent the last year and a half of my life ordering young men and young woman to die. I like that even less.
That's a glib answer and you know it. And it's a cheap way of avoiding the fact you've trampled over the very thing those young men and women are out there dying to protect! Doesn't that mean anything to you?
Inter arma enim silent leges.
"In times of war, the law falls silent." Cicero. Is that what we've become? A 24th Century Rome driven on nothing more than the certainty that Caesar can do no wrong?
