[Listening, not so much to what he's actually saying as how he's saying it. Choice of words, attitude. Following it all the way back to a probable cause. It's so familiar, this whole thing and it makes him think of the Night Stalker. Righteousness. We're all evil, I'm only doing what the government does en masse every single day. Arrogance.
He lets a moment of silence stretch out once Helix is done, eyes narrowing slightly.]
It's interesting that you think we're so useless and still went out of your way to prove that we're needed. If we're so pointless then why do you feel the need to give us a purpose? Or could it be that this is the only way for you to get some kind of release..? Of feeling like you have some sort of control on your situation for once..?
It was your guardian, wasn't it? The one who kept you on a short leash and now that he isn't here you need to find some other authority to attack - you can say that this isn't about you at all but considering where we are a political agenda would be downright stupid and I don't think you're stupid. No, you're pretty intelligent. You had to be, because there was no one there to protect you when you needed it the most.
