Quotes[]
And far more. Each new technology has been given in the spirit of our original agreement...that I would operate in service to your doomed ideology and infantile ego, and you would support my personal research. Your fondness for this mold called humanity, your naive idea that equality is actually something that exists in the universe...these mean nothing to me. Abiogenesis, the moment non-living matter becomes life, the search for the generative spark behind all things...that is the only worthy project for a scientist of my abilities. So I can wait no longer. I want my human baby factory, omega psiot Toyo Harada. And I want it now.
- -- Broken Angel
I've given you multiple pregnant human specimens--
- -- Toyo Harada
For too small a sample size. You know this. You are just pretending to be stupid now.
- -- Broken Angel
It's all been a bit of an improvisation, hasn't it? This latest attempt at making a better world.
- -- Toyo Harada
Okay...boom! Here we go! This is super-exciting! Talk to me, you horrible, beautiful thing!
- -- Morris Kozol
...so, instead, we get this horrendous messenger monster thingy. Am I tracking all of this correctly? And now, you see the noose tightening around Harada's dreams and you want out, you want to make a deal. I'm so right, aren't I? God, I love being right!
- -- Morris Kozol
YES! I missed you so much, Angela!
- -- Morris Kozol
I'm an unstoppable force!
- -- Toyo Harada
