TECH "You will if you know what is good for you."

Hollow "I will not shoot a member of the UNSC.  Period.  I joined your side to protect humanity from the covenant not from humanity itself."

The naval officer is beaten severly. Blood runs down his face. He lowers his head.

interrogator "Look at me!" The officer is waterboarded and beat.

TECH "You told me they ATE one of our own at Beta Maximus!  If you truly believe that we are better than you will confirm your loyalty and shoot this man as an act of kindness."

Hollow "I thought you stood for something.  I thought there was still a shred of humanity in your command."

TECH "In this new world we ARE the humanitarians." He points to the torturing.

"This is kindness.  For the warriors of order and properity to win against the agents death and destruction we must lay our principals and our souls on the altar of victory.  Good people do not win wars."

Hollow (whispers to himself) "The UNSC did..."

TECH "Tell me.  How did your kind fight the beasts that you refer to as the 'covenant'?  Are you telling me that the humans in your universe were able to fend off these aliens without losing even a shred of humanity?"

Hollow "Ye--"  He stopped himself short. He remembered how he was made.

Hollow "Some people did act like like brutal monsters to win the war."

TECH "Then that is what we must do too." The admin hands Hollow his pistol.

TECH "Prove your loyalty."

Hollow looks over the gun and thinks about it. He cocks it and leaves the room. He enters the interrogation room and puts three bullets in a fellow naval officers head. A small part of him dies inside.
