Quote #565
Virgule gazed across the vast, cold, steel expanse past his inquisitor to
witness the full consequence of his previous decision - feral, withered
children, in tattered, filthy garments, toiled mindlessly at his command in
a single chamber which reeked of oil and burning animal flesh - his time had
come to deliver the final instruction; "Yes! I would like fries with that."
