One thing I loved about Crier’s War and Iron Heart was how badly Scyre Kinok messed up his own plan when he distributed the Nightshade.

PALS I FINISHED CRIER'S WAR AAAAAAAA

I just need to vent about this a bit

kinok: pray for me

I am kino-eye. I am a builder. I have placed you, whom I've created today, in an extraordinary room which did not exist until just now when I also created it. In this room there are twelve walls shot by me in various parts of the world.  I am kino-eye, I create a man more perfect than Adam, I create thousands of different people in accordance with preliminary blueprints and diagrams of different kinds. I am kino-eye. From one person I take the hands, the strongest and most dexterous; from another I take the legs, the swiftest and most shapely; from a third, the most beautiful and expressive head -- and through montage I create a new, perfect man.  I am kino-eye, I am a mechanical eye. I, a machine, show you the world as only I can see it.  Now and forever, I free myself from human immobility, I am in constant motion, I draw near, then away from objects, I crawl under, I climb onto them. I move apace with the muzzle of a galloping horse, I plunge full speed into a crowd, I outstrip running soldiers, I fall on my back, I ascend with an airplane, I plunge and soar together with plunging and soaring bodies. Now I, a camera, fling myself along their resultant, maneuvering in the chaos of movement, recording movement, starting with movements composed of the most complex combinations.  Freed from the rule of sixteen-seventeen frames per second, free of the limits of time and space, I put together any given points in the universe, no matter where I've recorded them.  My path leads to the creation of a fresh perception of the world. I decipher in a new way the world unknown to you.

"A legfájóbb kín örömet színlelni."

It’s amazing how much malevolence can be contained in words that are -- on their surface -- reassuring.
