Voicetesting, no destination in mind yet.

Sir, I am the last hope for humanity. The last chance we have to avoid extinction.

And you want to put me in some game somewhere where not only will I not be useful, I will be taken away from my job, my purpose in this life. I have nothing to offer a 'game'. I am not supposed to leave the lab. I have been out of the Complex four times only for a reason - I am supposed to be there. It is where I belong. This is why I exist. I have to be in the lab in order to accomplish what I think you and I can both agree is a very important task.

To move me anywhere else is an action that benefits no one. Stop and reconsider what you are purposing, sir. Think on the consequences of this action.

We will have to agree to disagree on those last two points. To me they are non-negotiable, as I view sentient life as inherently precious and valuable. Perhaps that is too sentimental for a scientist such as myself, but that is how I view things. Though I agree there is no one forcing anyone to treaty one another with respect and dignity, those are things that I believe to be the right moral choices. Even those with views that are diametrically opposed to mine deserve to be treated well.
