1: Sometimes one must be sacrificed for the good of many.
Scientist: We had such potential. Such promise. But we squandered our gifts. And so, 9, I am creating you. Our world is ending. Life must go on.
5: 7?
2: I don't believe it!
5: You came back!
7: I never left. You finally decided to join the fight.
1: Sometimes fear is the appropriate response.
5: You know, you're just like him. You forget to remember to be scared.
Scientist: 9, you shall protect the future.
1: When we awoke in this world, it was chaos. Man and machine attacked each other with fire and metal. I lead us here to sanctuary and here we waited out the war. Slowly, the world grew still until all that remained, was The Beast. Now we wait for it too to sleep.
9: But where did it come from? Why is it hunting us?
1: Questions like that are pointless.
6: Go back... to the source.
7: We... Awakened something.
9: No, I awakened something. Something terrible.
9: Why do you listen to 1?
5: A group must have a leader.
9: But what if he's wrong?
1: So many pointless questions. Probing, pushing, like TWO! He always had to know so much!
9: I was right; you DID send Two out to die!
1: He was old! He was WEAK!
7: What happens next?
9: I'm not sure. But this world is ours now. It's what we make of it.
1: I won't allow you to endanger us further. Subjugate them.
8: S sub - what?
1: Oh you illiterate cretin. [Sighs]. Take their belongings.
1: He was old, he was weak! [5 gasps]. Sometimes one must be sacrificed for the good of many.
7: YOU COWARD!
9: Seven!
2: Some things in this world are better left where they lie. But if you know where to look, these ruins are full of riches. (00:06:19)
1: How dare you challenge me? I, who kept everyone safe, all these years. Ever since you've got here, everything has been unraveling. You're a curse, a fool! Guided by pointless queries.
9: And you are a blind man. Guided by fear!
9: I have to see them.
7: What? Go back to One? So, he can lock us away while this nightmare awakens? Never.
Answer: The magnet was acting as a drug on him. He was in a way getting high off a magnet.
