MY REPUTATION PRECEDES ME

Transcript:
Strauss: Well, isn't this nice? I thought you might appreciate hearing a familiar voice... We have a lot in common, after all.
Maxis: I'm not sure that we do. We're both Germans, but I think the similarity ends there.
Strauss: Oh dear, I'm sorry. Are you... Ashamed of your nationality for some reason?
Maxis: Not ashamed. Not at all. But our nationality isn't what defines us.
Strauss: True. Very true.
Maxis: What do you want, Doctor Strauss?
Strauss: My reputation precedes me! I'm flattered. Humbled even.
Maxis: I'm not sure you've ever been humbled, Strauss. In fact, I'm not even sure you're that much different from Peck.
Strauss: My... Such anger. You don't like him do you? I can't say that I'm surprised. I mean... He did treat you very... badly.
Maxis: I don't like repeating myself, but again I have to ask - What do you want?
Strauss: Requiem are very interested in the... gaps in your memory regarding the events at outpost 25. Particularly its destruction and the question of your role in it.
Maxis: I was angry and confused, but that doesn't mean I could somehow unleash all the forces of the Dark Aether upon Omega.
Strauss: Well, I was thinking your anger was perhaps directed more at Peck. I would understand the desire for revenge.
Maxis: You really think I had the power to do that, Strauss?
Strauss: I'm more concerned about the possibility of you doing it again.
Maxis: Don't worry. I'm not a danger to you - or anyone else.
Strauss: What about yourself?
Maxis: Don't you have other things to do, Strauss?
