"The biological supercomputer, uh? You even know its name?"
"Of course we do. After all, that was our technology to begin with."
At those words, Erik started laughing. Laughing like he had never laughed before, laughing because of the irony.
"Your technology? So, we were actually right. The blackguards are the remnants of the Silver Line Corporation."
A tense silence fell between them.
