[quote="Excerpt from the poem, "The New Colossus"":1nyrhg0z]
"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:
I lift my lamp beside the golden door."
-- from a plaque at the foot of the Statue of Liberty

[quote="Excerpt from the poem, "The New Covert-Ops"":1nyrhg0z]
"Give me your battered, your sore,
Your traumatized citizens killing to be free
The cybernetic refuse of your warring slums.
Send these, the programmed, gang-thrashed, to me:
I lift my rifle beside the armored door."
-- from a plaque over the main entrance to the Intelligence Pacification Group training facility

Sorry for the double-post, but this has continued to come to mind in one way or another every time I see Cyrene, A-2, Nel, and the other "damaged ones" in the IPG. I hope you like it.
