Dev-Em quotes from Krypton

Daron-Vex

You're telling me there will be collateral damage?

Dev-Em

I am telling you the room will be stuffed with collateral damage. This is no longer a controlled situation. We have to abort.

Daron-Vex

Proceed as planned. There comes a point in any coup when it's more dangerous to back out than to go forward. Too many people are involved to depend on none of them betraying the secret. Even inadvertently...

Dev-Em

Let me be clear. Your opinion means nothing to me. Primus?

Jayna-Zod

We can't withdraw now. We've already paid too much, Dev.

Dev-Em

Your Eminence, we're here to escort you to the ceremony.

There will be a slight delay. In speaking with my protege, I realize I need more contact with the people of Kandor. I have much to learn, and to judge.

Dev-Em

I don't understand, Your Eminence.

The ceremony must be open to the public. I want the hall packed with citizens. Young, old, Guilded, Rankless. Turn no one away.

Dev-Em

Your Eminence, I'm not sure we can get the people there in time.

Then begin now.

Jayna-Zod

The Rankless Initiative. That was shit, wasn't it?

Dev-Em

Complete shit. It only made things worse, and Lyta didn't deserve to be made a scapegoat for the Council's bad decisions.
