1: Sometimes one must be sacrificed.
5: 7?
2: I don't believe it!
5: You came back!
7: I never left. You finally decided to join the fight.
Scientist: We had such potential. Such promise. But we squandered our gifts. And so, 9, I am creating you. Our world is ending. Life must go on.
1: Sometimes fear is the appropriate response.
5: You remind me of him. You forget to remember to be scared.
Scientist: 9, you shall protect the future.
6: Go back... to the source.
7: We... Awakened something.
9: No, I awakened something. Something terrible.
9: Why do you listen to 1?
5: A group must have a leader.
9: But what if he's wrong?
1: When we awoke in this world, it was chaos. Man and machine attacked each other with fire and metal. I lead us here to sanctuary and here we waited out the war. Slowly, the world grew still until all that remained, was The Beast. Now we wait for it too to sleep.
9: But where did it come from? Why is it hunting us?
1: Questions like that are pointless.
1: You're just like 2! He was always probing, always asking questions! Useless!
9: I was right; you DID send 2 out to die!
1: He was old! He was WEAK!
7: What happens next?
9: I'm not sure. But this world is ours now. It's what we make of it.
Answer: Simply a character choice to not sew 1's mouth.
