**INT. GENESIS LAB CENTRAL CHAMBER - CONTINUOUS**
Kane smiles coldly, his eyes scanning the chamber - the freed test subjects, the destabilized anchor point, Valentine and his allies.
I should have known you'd be involved in this, Thorne. You always did have a problem with authority.
This isn't about authority, Silas. It's about ethics. About not playing God with time itself.
Ethics are a luxury for those who aren't shaping the future. You should know that better than anyone, David.
Kane turns his attention to Valentine.
After all, you're the product of our work. The perfect Chrono Shifter. And now you're throwing it all away to protect... what? These failed experiments?
Valentine steps forward, positioning himself between Kane and the freed test subjects.
They're not experiments. They're people. And I won't let you use them, or time itself, as weapons.
Kane's smile fades.
Then you leave me no choice.
