And it was all my fault. I was the man who failed to put the right locks on the tear gas canisters, because I wanted to cause all that death--that transformation. At least that's what the men and women outside my once-secret laboratory say happened. Someone framed me, made me suspect, and pointed the apparatus of the state at my door. An important white man named Edwin Alva said it was me that did it, and so I must've done it. They don't care about who I could be one day--or who am I now. They're hear to take me. By any means necessary. And I'm not going to let them.
