Mhm, maybe. [That 'maybe' somehow manages to sound an awful lot like 'not a chance in hell'.] But in my experience, people like this aren't trying to save the world for the sake of the world.

[Can't rule the world if there isn't a world left to rule.]

And even if we do end up being this universes miracle cure, do you really think they plan to thank us for our time and send us home after everything is said and done?

[It's a nice thought, he'll give it that. On some level, he wishes he could believe it, it would make it slightly easier to sleep at night. But he had a hard time believing anyone's intentions were as good as they let on. Forget giving the benefit of the doubt to a corporation that looked to be setting itself up to have a monopoly on the earth's only means of survival.]

Because my worry here is that even if you end up being right about them only grabbing us because they felt they had no choice, people that cross certain lines can find it easier to keep crossing lines. And when those people are in charge of a major company with a public face built on saving the world, they might be the kind to want to make extra sure to get rid of any evidence that would tarnish that image.

If you catch my drift.
