Reclaimer: "It's strange, the things that you think about when you're in mortal danger."

"They say that your* entire life flashes before your eyes, but it's not true."

"Your 'vision' does crystallize, though."

"You only have so much time in which to think, and it's only the essential things that manage to rise to the surface."

"You know what I thought about as I fell away, as the world turned to hell above me and nothing but cold and ice below me?"

"Existence. Life."

"And I realized I wasn't quite ready for it to end. As much as I questioned the value of mankind - and all the evil deeds of which he is capable - he does, perhaps, deserve a chance to try again."

"Make no mistake - this epiphany did not mark some dramatic psychological or spiritual healing. I still often despair of man ever finding redemption for himself."

"But a man who is dead cannot learn, let alone make reparations for his mistakes."

"And my sense from this then - nameless enemy was that he posed a great threat to mankind, possibly the greatest threat we have ever faced."

"The time had come to do what I had been built to do. The time had come to be a hero, mankind's savior."
