“You poor little thing. You didn't understand at all. Sinister is a system... and rebels against the system... are also part of the system. Rebels are the system testing itself. If the system cannot withstand the challenge to the status quo, the system is overturned--- and so reinvented. You little anarchists are just playing your part, like everyone else. A part that's sadly over.” -- Sinister
