Kevyn: How's your moral compass, Ennesby?

Ennesby: What are you talking about?

Kevyn: The A.I. in our new ship is insane, and Tagon wants to wipe it. He doesn't think we've got time to rehabilitate a sick system.

Ennesby: He can't do that! It would be murder!

Kevyn: So you'll help us by jacking in to the system and playing cyber-therapist?

Ennesby: Then again, you could argue that it's no different than putting down a rabid dog, or a horse with a broken leg.

Thurl: Sounds to me like you've got a flaky integrity needle, Ennesby.

Kevyn: Nah. I bet he's getting too much current across his situational ethics switch, and it's spot-welded on 'selfish.'
