Of course. You're not denying these charges. Let's talk, Vakarian. [Rico smiles, leaning forward in anticipation.] Lets talk about those hostages, shall we? How did you put it? "The hostages are already dead?"

[He settles further in his chair, crossing his arms as he makes himself comfortable.]

Were they really, or did you write them off so you could have your revenge? Saleon made a fool of you, so you couldn't let that go without blood?

[He finds himself sinking into that familiar mindset of the interrogation exercises at the Academy, hounding to dissect Archangel's motives and pick him apart. Rico's all too happy to talk at him, but what he's looking for above all else is a response. Sure it's fun to beat someone while they're down, but it's only entertaining for so long.]

Don't kid yourself that it was for any measure of finding justice.
