->''I came upon one of Nupraptor’s serving girls, catatonic with fear, choking out half-words through bloodied, broken teeth. Although tempted by hunger, I stayed my hand, allowing her to tell her story...\\
She spoke of her Lord Nupraptor, driven to insanity by the brutal slaying of his beloved Ariel. She spoke of his self-mutilation, sewing his eyes and lips shut to deny the outside world. Fueled by despair and hopelessness, he turned his magic on the Circle, infecting their minds with his madness. Nupraptor cared for nothing now, save his pathetic self-pity.\\
Scars such as hers would never heal. Death would only be a mercy.''

->The worst losses are when dark forces steal an Engineer from us. We deal with them every day: [[PowerBornOfMadness Marauders]] tear across the Near and Deep Universe alike, sowing insanity and horror. The [[EvilSorcerer Nephandi]] and [[EldritchAbomination Entropic EDEs]] bubble up out of the underworld, [[TheCorrupter seducing]] and [[GoMadFromTheRevelation maddening]] in equal measure. [[OutsideContextProblem Threat Null]] lulls and cajoles with [[WasOnceAMan familiar faces]]. You don't come back from that kind of corruption. When one of us falls to it, the only reasonable and human course of action is to kill the poor bastard - before he can do more damage and take more people from us.

Mercy killing is expected of NCR snipers. [[TheEmpire The Legion]] likes to torture their prisoners within sight of NCR positions. We get called on to end it. I've had my share. Some of them, you think, maybe you could've gotten them out. Maybe it's not the Legion that got them killed. Maybe it's your orders and you following them.

->'''Rei:''' These are not human beings. Their official purpose is to serve as core for the Dummy Plug system, but even that is only secondary. As Dr Akagi explained, they are mere vessels to hold my soul. That was the only reason they were created for, just like the body I possess now and the ones before. Without a soul, they can not become aware of their feelings. They notice the feel of the warm LCL around them, of this glass holding them; they can see us, the world outside of theirs. But... it does not matter to them. All they are doing is existing, blissfully unaware of everything. They cannot understand the difference between pain and joy. They do not know the vast variety of human emotions. They do not feel hope or fear for the future. [[HumansAreFlawed I always wondered whether to pity or to envy them]].\\
