[ She doesn't waver, doesn't even raise her voice. ]
This time. They did it for the orb this time.
[ There's a glint of something dangerous in her eyes, anger warring with calm. ]
And you, Doctor, play judge, jury, and executioner plenty. Or did you think using words rather than bullets excuses you from the outcome?
How long have you known me, Doctor? I'm not playing any role. And I'm certainly not a space marine. No one points me at a target and tells me to shoot. Not anymore. You know they aren't the first, and you know they won't be the last. I've killed for better reasons, and I've killed for much worse. But it hasn't been anyone's decision but mine for a very long time.
