33	->''I would like to here again state that 106 is not, as is commonly believed, a basic predator, on par with an advanced shark. SCP-106 is a sentient being, albeit [[BlueAndOrangeMorality a totally alien one]]. SCP-106 appears to be aware of several things beyond the scope of pure instinct and genetic memory. SCP-106 consistently breaches at moments where recovery and containment are most difficult. A fox may see his way out of a trap, but only a man will wait for his captors to look away to escape.''

70	->Kill us already.\
71	If you want our eyes and bones and [[{{Cyborg}} the computers in our brains]]? Take it all, I don't care. It doesn't matter. But get it over with already. Kill us or let us go, and I don't care if we're thrown out blind and crippled [[LibertyOverProsperity because at least then we're free of you]].\
72	[[GildedCage You give us three meals a day and a bed and a few books]], and you pretend like it justifies locking us in here like animals in cages or dolls on a shelf. You learned how to be polite, how to dress up in labcoats and say please and thank you and pretend like you have souls.\

82	Complaint Title: what the [EXPLETIVE] you [EXPLETIVE]\
83	Yeah hi guys, it's Elias. I don't know who [EXPLETIVE] passed the [EXPLETIVE] vote to let this remarkable [EXPLETIVE] travesty take place, but it's not going to [EXPLETIVE] fly. I let you do the [EXPLETIVE] monkey thing because it was funny, but this [OBSCENE METAPHOR] is not.\
84	A [EXPLETIVE] million look-alikes in the world and your best laid plan is to [OBSCENE EUPHEMISM] me into the corpse of some [EXPLETIVE] rancho [EXPLETIVE] yee-haw go get-em cowgirl [DEROGATORY NAME FOR A POLITICIAN]. How the [EXPLETIVE] would you like it if somebody knocked you the [EXPLETIVE] out and you woke up smelling like [EXPLETIVE] cheap beer and [OBSCENE EUPHEMISM]? Pretty [EXPLETIVE] horrible, I'd imagine. That sure would [EXPLETIVE] suck, wouldn't it?\
85	You know I can't even take a [EXPLETIVE]? Sit down on the john and squeeze and no [CREATIVE USE OF DESCRIPTORS APPROXIMATING AN OBSCENE DESCRIPTION OF FECES] comes out. They had to put a pump in there just to squeeze the [EXPLETIVE] out. My [EXPLETIVE] doesn't work, I constantly smell like [EXPLETIVE], and Lament is getting his [EXPLETIVE] off because he says I look like a chimpanzee. [EXPLETIVE] him, and [EXPLETIVE] you.\
86	How about this for an idea. Next time one of you [LONG STRING OF EXPLETIVES] eggheads gets it in your [EXPLETIVE] thick skulls that you've got something clever in the works, take that and [[[AssShove CREATIVE USE OF SLANG, METAPHOR, ALLUSION AND EUPHEMISM APPROXIMATING OBSCENITY]]] and see if they have to put a pump in you to push it out. I bet it probably wouldn't help.\
87	Yours truly,\
88	Get [EXPLETIVE],\
89	Elias\
90	P.S. and if Sophia has to read this, you can tell her she can [OBSCENE METAPHOR].

112	''[[PrecisionFStrike Fuck]] you.''\
113	''You want '''sad''' endings?''\
114	''Again, fuck you.''\
115	''[[{{UsefulNotes/Existentialism}} There are only endings.]] If 15 years of service to a shadowy fascist organization bent on locking up all our demons in boxes has taught me anything, it's that "good" and "bad" are [[GreyAndGrayMorality completely subjective]]. One man's [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt ZK-class reality failure]] is another man's orgasm.''\
116	''So.''\

126
127	->In the end, the Foundation staff aren't murderers and madmen. They're just people doing their part to protect the world. However, this doesn't change the fact that in the end, many of their actions are immoral and unjust: at the very least, the fact that many humanoid [=SCPs=] are being imprisoned against their will simply for what they are should give one pause. Do the ends justify the means?\
128	We don't know.\
129	And that is the big question that every reader of the Foundation Wiki will have to answer for themselves in the long run.
