Tiii II by Benn Lyrics
[Engle]
Did I ever tell you how I was drafted into the program?
[Langham]
I don't think you did.
[Engle]
Well, it seems like a lifetime ago, but back then we were proud of what we had accomplished. At the time I was still researching at München. When they called and told me that they required my assistance, they told me that money was no object and that I was needed in London within 72 hours. When I arrived they sat me down on my own in a small room and they turned on a projector and showed my their film. The voice talked of research that I had never imagined before then.
[Langham]
What kind of research?
[Engle]
Biological weaponry, but nothing like I had seen before. My expertise always lied in chemical agents; gases, organistic compounds and gas. Nothing like the research they were showing me. At the time it made sense though, the one thing we had an abundance of was people. But they wanted more than that, they wanted humans beyond human.
[Langham]
So you... you created them?
[Engle]
Terminus was the only location in the South capable of holding that volume of people. In my time at the Terminus I had 1,212 patients, in reality there were many, many more but they never left the wing alive.
[Langham]
You murdered them. They came to you, trusting in Cannon and you murdered them.
[Engle]
You can call it murder, Henry but that wasn’t what was happening. These people came to our facility in the knowledge that there were dangers in the process, yet the reward that was offered made it worth it. Security for them and their families and more importantly, a purpose. They were far more than the blood and bones that their God gifting them, they became immortals. Alas, it doesn't matter now, does it? Maybe you're right after all. I call them my patients but maybe... victims is a more precise approximation. I promise you one thing though, Henry. I had no idea that they could all be initiated at once.
