They wanted us under control.  We declined the invitation.  They started a public relations campaign to make us look dangerous.  It was really good.  I have to give them props for that.  They knew how to talk to the frightened and uneducated masses.  Of course, it wasn’t hard to make us look dangerous.  All they had to do was show footage of us in action in The War to prove that.  The trick was getting people to believe we could turn on them.  They were real tricky.
