-> ''"What a terrible tragedy, to lose the last of the pure-blooded Ancients... though not completely. Would you like to see your mother? Albeit through the lens of one of my microscopes. Did you really think we'd leave such a precious specimen to rot in the gutter? We collected and catalogued every last piece of her. Hair, skin, organs, every fragment of every bone... As breathtaking in death as in life! Ifalna was elegance, right down to her cellular structure.''''

->'''Crichton:''' You don't think I understand you. Do you? Oh, I understand. No, believe it or not, we've had men like you on my planet. Educated men. Men of science and medicine. Men who were searching for some self-described ideal and willing to maim and murder untold thousands to find it. There was one, his name was [[UsefulNotes/JosefMengele Mengele]]: to him, anyone was fair game as a subject of his experiments -- the weak, the handicapped... men... women... children.\\

->''"I went through a bunch of acronyms to get where I am today: NIMH, the CIA, the SAD... I was headin' the MK-ULTRA project during the '80s -- this was after it had been publicly shitcanned, obviously. Ha. Mind control. Wow. A great field. A lot of potential. The big deal in the Agency at the time was [[FunctionalMagic extrahuman abilities]]. Less of a zero-sum market than nukes. [[SovietSuperscience The Reds]], industrious little dudes that they were, they were trying to breed their own supersoldiers, you know, "[[RussianReversal In Soviet Russia, science makes you!]]" We took an [[FantasticRecruitmentDrive identify-and-exploit]] approach, working with subjects like you, [[ChildMage younger where possible]], from around the States. A few we borrowed from other nations. And civilian experiments... a whole lot of civilian experiments! [[HigherUnderstandingThroughDrugs We sprayed LSD like it was going out of style]]. But there was a ceiling, a very tangible ceiling. After we'd burned through the first 30 million in research grants... oh boy. Accountability, recriminations, constitutional rights, a real bad scene. Yes. I'm grateful to TheIlluminati for really moving things forward."''
