Two men stood in a small dark room staring at a large screen, alive with movement and panic. People ran in every direction fighting for their lives. -There were not supposed to be any people there, - one of the shadowed figures commented aloud. -This changes everything.- He turned to walk away. -This changes nothing, - the second dark figure snapped back, his sharp tone stopping the first man in his tracks. -But sir?- His voice genuinely worried about the well-being of the people they had seen on the screen. It went grey with fuzz. -But nothing colonel Gen. We wanted a test for our project and here we have it.- -But sir we haven't planned for casualties.- -Of course, not. And we don't need any.- -Sir?- -There will be nothing left of the people in this little town in the middle of nowhere, no need to plan for casualties, no need for anything really.- -And what about when that town is gone?- the man's soft tone replaced by anger. The second man's shadow turned to face colonel Gen. -You should remember your place, Gen.- -It's colonel Gen. I know my place, and it's not here, killing innocent civilians.- -Colonel Gen, look again at the personnel records of these so called innocent civilians of yours.- -I already have... sir.- -Yes, you have, and you should know that most of them are not innocent civilians. Most of them, in fact, are criminals.- -You still have no right to murder them.- -Trust me, Colonel Gen, no one will ever even know they're gone.-
