Video, UN: Puppetking

[ The video cuts in to a very plain assigned apartment room, and a tall, reedy-looking individual who smiles to see something light up or turn on on the device. Success!

Maxwell doesn't look too worried about all this 'saving the world' jazz.

As long as it isn't coming from a place of self destruction, I don't see a problem with it.

I don't understand it, mind you, but I won't pass judgment on it.

[boombam]
