God, they helped people. They weren't soldiers. They weren't a threat. Their only mistake was to work here. "And it looks like I wasn't there for James...," Ryan says softly.  "My God...it's all gone. The city. Everyone dead..." Ryan's voice just trails off as his fist clench together and a look of murderous hatred enters his eyes. He stands perfectly still, staring off at the destruction on the horizon. The living. I need to focus on the living. My God, how could she do this, just to get one teenage girl... who may or may not be from another time. Hell, I would have delivered her myself. But this...Cardinal, I thought there were similarities between us. I kind of understood the kind of weight you had to feel...the consuming duty to protect Earth from some extradimensional madman. I'm a person who would do almost anything to stop Overseer; I just thought you were missing the almost. But no, the term "person" no longer applies. Mexico City. Mudaba Adin.You're no different from Overseer...and you might be worse. You will regret this, Cardinal.Focus on the living, he reminded himself harshly. "There's probably more people here who are still alive," he announces, choking back the bitter sorrow. "Let's see if anyone else is still alive, help them. Then we check the city." Ryan then heads off towards the dormitories and the cafeteria, reasoning there would be the greatest concentration of staff and students.</blockquote>
