If the military had no role in guarding the country from alien threats, which magic arguably represents...Jon didn't get a law passed saying he could change the world with his stone did he? Everything following from that including the existence of Lucas as an angel is a grotesque violation of individual human rights, if there's anyone Lucas ought to be pissed at, it's Jon.
Makepeace has acted reasonably.
... "She compromised my base, bullied my men, threatened my daughter, and is about to give all our M-tech to the enemy. she is not any hero I have ever heard of... I'll be damned if I let it happen." He couldn't let it happen. Maybe this was the final result of the magic? To destroy the last military arm that knew of Jen and the magic stone. Once they were gone... there would be nobody else. ...
And then THIS
" "Hawkins, do you have any idea how creepy and invasive it is to be spied on when you're not a fucking criminal?" "
Do you have any idea how fucking creepy it is to be changed against your will into anything!
And Lucas thinks Jon et al don't bear watching!
Fuck her!
Evil bitch!
She has her standards, I have mine. If she were real and I could do it, I'd put a bullet between here genuinely totalitasrian eyes, and give the humanitarian Makepeace a steak dinner, and that night I'd sleep like a baby.
"And you, General Makepeace, were subverting all principles that make America and even the other decent countries work as they should in your thirst for more technology. "
No he wasn't. The 4th amendment provides protection against the civil authority using improperly obtained evidence in a trial. Remind me again who Makepeace had on trial? Who he was imprisoning?
And trying to take the stone? Why should Lucas have a problem with that?
We let just anyone who wants it keep Sarin, VX, Pu239, or smallpox, right? We'll let someone who as the wishing stone keep it no questions asked? Sure.
Oh, and this gem?
... "Eh, you were never really individuals anyways." ...
Like a baby I'd sleep. Fuck that.
Bigoted stereotype believing POS.
