Sinclair and Talia Winters arrive at a partially destroyed part of the
|
|
station. They duck below some broken beams and see Ironheart.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>Ironheart:</b>
|
|
We need to speak. (Camera cuts to Ironheart.) The Psi Corps is
|
|
dedicated to one thing, Commander: control. Control over telepaths, the
|
|
economy, the courts, over matter, over thought itself. But there is
|
|
something even more powerful, something they didn't even know existed. I
|
|
crossed the line. Not mind over matter. Mind over energy. I was suddenly
|
|
able to influence objects that were smaller and smaller. Molecules.
|
|
Atoms. Neutrons. I look at you, Commander, and I see not a man, but a
|
|
galaxy of subatomic particles, which I can pull apart, and rearrange with a
|
|
casual thought. This is a power we were never meant to have. We're not
|
|
ready for it.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>Talia:</b> If the Psi Cops take him back, they'll dissect him. Take him
|
|
apart to find what combination of drugs released this power.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>Ironheart:</b> Can you imagine, Commander, what they would do with it,
|
|
what anyone would do with it?
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>Sinclair:</b> Which is exactly why they say you should not be allowed to
|
|
leave here alive. Why should I trust you not to misuse this? I've already had
|
|
six people hurt.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>Ironheart:</b> An accident. At each new level, it takes me a while to
|
|
adjust. I have to fight every minute to control the forces in my head. If
|
|
I'm distracted, for even a second--
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>Sinclair:</b> What about the researcher you killed?
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>Ironheart:</b> I didn't want to, but he was the only one who could
|
|
replicate the process. There must never be any more like me. I mean you no
|
|
harm, Commander. If I did I could vaporize you right now with a single thought.
|
|
Please, you must believe me.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Sinclair looks at Talia. She nods.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>Sinclair:</b> Assuming I do, what is it you want from me?
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>Ironheart:</b> Your help, and your trust. I need to get away from here.
|
|
I need time to finish becoming. And then I'll be gone. Please.
