Godzilla Threshold/Quotes

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


"It's fascinating, you know that? You've created a problem so big, the solution is to detonate an atomic bomb."

General Mansfield, Eureka

"So the good news is, Godzilla's back. So the bad news is, Godzilla's back."

Sentry: Against an opponent this powerful ... The amount of energy I'd have to expend ... if I ... lost control, for even a millisecond ...
Iron Man: It scares me, too, Robert. Every day I choose between courses of action that could affect millions, even billions of lives. With stakes that high, how dare I decide? But at this point, doing nothing is a decision in and of itself. No matter what you do or don't do, billions could die. You have the responsibility, whether you want it or not. I know you're not ready to hear this, Robert. No sane person ever really is. But it's time to play God.

General: I don't see how we can avoid employing our Tauruses at this point.
Major: Cruise missiles? On moving targets? Sir, half the city could be destroyed.
General: Yes, major, but by morning, half the city will be destroyed anyway.

Mage: The Ascension, the Technocracy's "Code Ragnarok"

"Nothing they've tried so far has worked - and when your back's to the wall, scorched earth is not exactly unprecedented military doctrine. A tactical airburst over Manhattan might be the only way to contain this thing. Probably won't be enough, granted; but if all else fails it's worth a shot."

Alcatraz, Crysis: Legion

"We have arrived, and it is now that we perform our charge. In fealty of the God-Emperor, our undying lord, and by the grace of the Golden Throne, I declare Exterminatus on the Imperial world of Typhon Primaris. I hereby sign the death warrant of an entire world, and consign a million souls to oblivion. May Imperial justice account in all balance. The Emperor protects."

Inquisitorial Fleet Admiral, Dawn of War II: Retribution
