Quotes

[“I’ve seen it—sensed it—in combat. The killing instinct, the moment when a human being decides that you’re dead. This feels different. It feels worse. It feels wrong.”,”The Red doesn’t mean bad things, just that they’re coming.”,”We’re at the center of an artificial hive mind that can anticipate and manipulate events.”]
