“I’m an academic, Senator Langdon. I have enough politics to deal with in my department, and my advisory position of course. And there are some people who’ve signed your ‘statement’ that I would not want my name put beside.”
“Like who?”
“Victor Carlyle, the man who claims that we’re genetically superior to the Enclave because we’re ‘more evolved’. Michael Morgenstern, that rabble-rouser talk show host. Morgan Hefley, the man who claims the Enclave existed since 1776. They jumped on your bandwagon immediately, along with others who I won’t give the dignity of naming. All popular people with mediocre talent. I’m not a stepping stone for your ambitions, Senator, and I think your proposed policy is completely unworkable.”
