Major:
Tell me who you are.
Kuze:
I am that which you seek to destroy. In this life, my name is Kuze.
Major:
What are you doing to me?
Kuze:
I have connected you to a network of my own creation. When I am finished in this world, my ghost can survive there and regenerate.
Major:
What do you want from me?
Kuze:
I became fascinated with you, reading your code while you were inside that geisha. Like nothing I had felt before and yet so... familiar. We are the same.
Major:
We are not the same. You kill innocent people.
Kuze:
"Innocent", is that what you call them? I am as they made me.
Major:
Who made you?
Kuze:
What have they told you? That you were the first? The first cerebral salvage? You were born of lessons took from my failure.
Major:
What are you talking about?
Kuze:
I was conscious while they dismembered my body and discarded me like garbage. I was lying on a table, listening to doctors talk about how my mind had not meshed with the shell that they had built, how Project 2571 had failed, and they had to move on to you.
[removes a piece of Major's face]
Kuze:
What a beauty you are. They have improved us so much since they made me. They thought we would be a part of their evolution, but they have created us to evolve alone... beyond them.
Major:
"Evolution", that's what you call killing everyone who made you?
Kuze:
You're not listening to me.
Major:
You're a murderer.
Kuze:
They tried to kill me first. It is self-defense; defense of self! More will die until they tell me what they took!
