Interrogator: "So you feel in the end that your choices were justified."

Damn few times does a monster get the opportunity to claim credit for "I was right all along, but just didn't know how right I really was."
*Many Waffen SS after WW2 claimed they were ordered/forced to commit atrocities in the field because Himmler, aware that an Allied victory would mean war crimes, didn't want his men to squeak out by claiming to be 'desk criminals', guilty only of pushing paper and passing along orders.

Their is a big thing now that the guy doing the interrogation isn't ONI. Also if you guys are interested and want more fuel for this thought for the crossover: http://huntthetruth.tumblr.com/

“HEY!!!”
“Like now. Wanna borrow my shotgun for a try?”
“ARGHH!”

Lisa gulped and shrugged her shoulders: "I'm as surprised as the rest of you that worked. I didn't expect that beaming Minmei music at them would have THAT effect."

Yeah, being dragged through the air and across the ground by a Quadrono flying power armor will do wonders for your revision skills.
