Whatever power I have is nothing if I can't use it to keep safe those who mean the most to me.
Silence is hereby outlawed. Silence breeds independent thought, which in turn breeds dissent.

What do you want to do with me?" she asked. You had an unpleasant tumble." He nodded toward the unfamiliar creatures. "My Ganmede friends and I are nursing you back to health, that's all." By drugging me?" (Molly and Arch)
