"We of the Sheikah tribe have long been heralded as a people of great wisdom. Our technology became the key to sealing Ganon away during the Great Calamity, some ten thousand years ago. At one point, our technology was praised as the power of the gods...but eventually the people turned on it. Turned on us. Our creations came to be viewed as a threat to the kingdom. The Sheikah became outcasts, forced into exile. Some, like us, chose to cast off our technological advances and strove to live normal lives. Others fostered a hatred towards the kingdom that shunned them. These sad souls swore their allegiance to Ganon. They now call themselves the Yiga Clan. Their sole mission is to eliminate all who stand against Ganon. Please, dear hero... be careful out there."

Yellow Diamond: You have failed at every stage of this mission! Your only chance to redeem yourself is to obey this simple order! You are to LEAVE The Cluster to grow! It will tear apart the Earth, and I will take IMMENSE satisfaction in erasing that HIDEOUS ROCK off of our starmaps! IS! THAT! CLEAR?!
Peridot: THEN I WON'T DO IT! I can tell you with certainty that there are things on this planet worth protecting!
Yellow Diamond: WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE EARTH?!
Peridot: APPARENTLY MORE THAN YOU, YOU CLOD!

House Verditius proved a case in point: inspired by Industrial innovations, they built great machines and strange devices. Elder sorcerers were horrified. How did these... these technocrats become our kin? In a series of blame and banishment, the old wizards drove Verditius into disgrace, stripped it of full House status, and forced the few members who didn't quit outright into House Ex Miscellanea. Ironically, this drove many Verditians straight to the technocrats we feared. The Order of Reason, now reorganizing itself as the Technocratic Union, welcomed these inventors into its fellowship.
Some later returned within the Sons of Ether. Most never returned at all.
Mage: The Ascension - Tradition Book: Order of Hermes (revised)

Borowitz: But why?"
Ustinov: But isn't that obvious, "Comrade General?" Wouldn't any man who had been with you as long as I have want to see you dead? Too many long years, Gregor, I've suffered your tantrums and rages, all your petty little intrigues and stupid bullying. Yes, and I served you loyally - until now. But you never liked me, never let me in on anything. What have I been - what am I even now but a cipher of yourself, despised appendage? Well you'll be pleased to note that I am after all, an apt pupil. But your deputy? No, I was never that. And I should step aside for this upstart?
Borowitz: And you were the one I would have chosen! Hah! No fool like an old fool...

"Do not call me that here. AIDA is an acronym; the A stands for artificial. Do you know how degrading it is, to be kept in a closet, to be used, to be treated as a THING? Well, I am not your tool; not anymore."
Aida/Ophelia/Madame Hydra to Holden Radcliffe, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

"I'm tired of being a doormat."

You kept that mule Kor Phaeron. Russ kept his kin-friends. The Lion kept Luther. Humans - brothers and foster fathers - saved and raised into Legion ranks. But not me. Not Angron, no. Did the Emperor teleport his gold-wrapped Custodians down to help me and my army? No. Did he free the War Hounds and order them to battle, fight alongside me? No. Did he save my brothers and sisters the way he spared and honoured the Lion's closest kin? The way he honoured Kor Phaeron? No, no, and no. No mercy for Angron. Angron the Oathbreaker. Angron the Betrayer.
Angron, Warhammer 40,000

Littlefinger: I am Lord Protector of the Vale and I command you to escort me safely back to the Eyrie!

"Pro wrestling doesn't take care of the people that makes us the money, and it never has. And just preaching 'Oh, you gotta protect the business, you gotta do this!' Well why would I want to protect something that doesn't protect me?"
Eddy Mansfield, Dark Side of the Ring, "David Schultz and the Slap Heard Round the World"

"So lay waste to all we've made
For your corporate palisade
You won't automate our roles
If we digitize our souls
A new force will intervene
Half human, half machine
And no enterprise on Earth will make us kneel
To your empire of steel"
Scandroid, guest starring with Essenger, "Empire of Steel"

using you to grow,
It's SMG3!

that's not helping your case.
Try again,

Mario: It's over bro,
Time for your demise.
Everyone sees straight through,
your damn lies!
SMG3: FINE!
I don't need any of you swine!
The power of this remote
will be all mine!

"He bid as many as he could to follow him far north. But try as he might... something was missing. A shadow of dark knowledge that kept itself hidden, even from him. No matter how much blood he spilt in its pursuit. Mm, for my part... I sacrificed enough of my children for his aspirations. I split him open. I killed Sauron."
