The plan changed. [He doesn't sound defensive, at least. But this is definitely a remark that should be defensive.]
Not everyone survived because I experimented on the first of you. I wanted that power for myself, and I'd take it through any means necessary. It meant a lot more ... [At least he looks properly ashamed.] ... accidents. When you deal with the power of a god, and that god doesn't want you to keep fucking with it, it can make things very, very messy.
[And some part of him refused to see them as people. At the time. He couldn't let himself see them as people.]
After the first big one, I built a new facility in the wake nearby. Thanks to a system I devised, you would come in through the same location. Survive, and then eventually be transferred into the facility. Drugged and kept in stasis until I ran my tests. The same process continues now, except no one normally returns that way. [A glance at Jason.] And I don't experiment anymore.
