A STORIED CAREER
Strauss recounts his harrowing path from WWII German atomic scientist to head of Requiem's Energy Research Division.
Transcript:
Strauss: The goal of my work has always been to create the tools necessary for humanity's improvement - not its destruction.
Strauss: Ja. I know what you're thinking, but I was very young when the Uranverein whisked me from university to Endstation. I was promised the opportunity to explore a new frontier of atomic research.
Strauss: When I realized that meant weapons research, I requested reassignment. Little did I know my transfer would be to a much more insidious project, led by Dr. Friedrich Steiner.
Strauss: After a year I literally could no longer stomach it. I defected as part of Operation Paperclip.
Strauss: It has been something of a storied career since then, but, given Aetherium's potential, I am still hopeful Requiem will make the right decision on where to focus its efforts.
