[DC's Lab, No Longer Other]

"Out of pure self-interest. Fighting to stop apocalypses is no sign of anyone's value, it only means they like living. Whether he likes us or not, he likes living, so no matter what, he will continue to fight them as they come. This is practically guaranteed. Even beyond that, I specified that he was exempt from the bounty unless evidence was presented that the clone was involved in AMEN operations at the time it was captured or killed anyway. And then there's the fact that he tried to help Jezebel infiltrate our base. Why should we just ignore this? We can't just bend over and take it from him or anyone else. We have to put our foot down sometime, and it's well beyond time with him and AMEN. We already attacked them when they were getting too powerful before, when Gordon was still in charge, and Ilpholin has gone rogue. There's no reason not to try to stop them now." DC neglects to mention that the prior attacks involved the Empire's assistance, and its successors haven't been as eager to bomb AMEN.

"Just what do you want us to do? I somehow doubt you think 'nothing' is a serious option."
