Quotes by Ada Hoffmann (?)

“SIR, Enga said presently, I SHOT HER. BUT YASIRA SHOUTED AT YOU AS THOUGH YOU DID. “Yes, Enga. That’s called the chain of command.” I BROKE PART OF MY ARM SAVING THE HUONGS, AND THEY HAVE BEEN THROWING THEMSELVES AT YOU AS THOUGH YOU DID. IS THAT THE CHAIN OF COMMAND? WHY CAN’T I HAVE A HUONG?”

“Well, it did what Outside usually did in stories. Showed up. Violated all the known laws of physics. Killed some people and drove the rest mad.”
― Ada Hoffmann, The Outside
