That's right. I'm not fighting for any noble purpose, like seeing justice done or protecting the Citizens that are still left. For me, this is about revenge, plain and simple. And I'm going to enjoy it.

Then there's no point in speaking to you any longer. I've decided what I'm going to do.

[He presses the emblem on the side of the lighter, which causes part of the casing to shift and a trigger to spring out of the side. That lighter wasn't actually a lighter at all!! It was... a small gun!]

[Without wasting time, he lines up his aim at Yomiel's heart, and shoots.]

[schrodingers_man]

[ Yomiel barely has time to register the lighter's transformation before it fires. A million thoughts fly through his mind, but none of them can get the chance to fully register before the bullet hits. The impact knocks him off balance, but in the brief instant before he falls off the edge of his podium, the expression on his face changes from shock and pain to nothing but pure anger. ]

[Phi doesn't say anything for a few seconds after she sees Yomiel shot... and falling.

...but she has more words for the man they'd called Bobby Fulbright.]

What the hell? What was even the point of that, you know he's just going to come back!

[That death... was not according to the rules of the exercise. The computer has to revive him, because of that.]

[thefaceofjustice]

[Oh, no reason. But the computer's probably not going to give him a chance to respond to her...]

[thecomputer]

[Correct! The instant he fires, that one-minute countdown goes out the window. Enjoy your early execution, Bobby-G-SCA-1!]
