| @Man

| I'm not like the other academics. I'm a fixer.[sr]I was brought here in case things go wrong.

|

| @Man
 | ||
| My real job was to dispose of anyone who might get in our way, or try to leak secrets.
 | ||
| [k]
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| @Man
 | ||
| Sometimes, I'd also check how healthy the supplies that came in from the outside were.

 | ||
| 
 | ||
| @Man
 | ||
| It was dirty work, but so what. I'm a bad guy.[sr]It was nothing I hadn't done countless times before.

 | ||
|

| @Man
 | ||
| I don't trust others. I can only see them as patsies.[sr]The weak are meant to be exploited.

| Once a few people end up dead, that's where I come in.[sr]I'm not suited to being on top.

|

 | ||
| I'm ugly, bad-tempered, and totally lacking in charisma. So I make sure to follow people who aren't any of those things.

| Cause curiously enough, leaders like that never have the trait that guys like me do: the endless capacity for brutally merciless violence.
