HAHAHAHAHAH! That's the kind of talk I like to hear, Slig!! Tell me!! Tell me how I will die at your hands! Your reply is slow in coming!! Perhaps you need a bit of urging!! Talk, Slig, talk!! You seemed so fond of it when I was at your mercy!! You dogs of Apokolips are eloquent when destiny favors you! Ah! I see that your counterpart Mother Box is where her guidance is sorely needed!! --Near your head!! But she'll protect you no more, you demon! Like you, Slig, she must be rendered inoperative! Listen how she voices her fear! It's sad! War is terrible and sad! --When even such wonderous mechanisms must pay for the flaws in us!! The pressure increases!! She must cease to function--- or-- Destruct! She's gone, Slig!! When she couldn't serve you-- your Mother Box chose to die!! She loved you, Slig!!! HAHAHAHA!!
