2013-01-30 - Cutscene: The Last Straw - God Is On Our Side

Excerpt from an anti-mutant rally in New York...

The man known as William Stryker stands at a podium giving a sermon to the masses of anti-mutant groups...

"My brothers and sisters, our world is in peril. I never thought that we would live to see a time where terrorists walk free...where the children of God feel like they have been forsaken. We must rise up and deal with these mutant heathens. These instruments of Satan himself. Retribution must sought for what the girl did. If she won't be held accountable by man's laws, then she will be held accountable by God's law. Psalm 9: 3-5: When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence. For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest (you sat) in the throne judging right. Thou has rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever!"

"Our God is a mighty god. With his grace and love we can become His sword and shield and eradicate the mutant threat within our city and then the entire world. All it takes is faith. With the amount of faith the size of a mustard seed, we can move mountains. " Stryker begins to slam his fists on the poduim, reacting to the crowd's cheers and shouts of 'Amen'. He continues speaking, his face going red with raw emotion and effort.

"Join us my brothers and sisters, join us and become the right hands of God. We will become the Sword and Shield, protecting humanity against the mutant threat, and hunting down those that threaten to destroy our very way of life! We will send each and every one of the mutant terrorists to spend enternity in the flaming pits of Hell!"

The crowd roars again and Stryker steps away from the podium with his head held high and a smile on his face. Now, it would only be a matter of time before the slaughter begins.
