"Matrix work.  Keeping people predictable.  People keep telling me to escape but how do you do that when you have a superior?"

 "Can't you leave your superior?  Uhhhh would you mind if I killed you so I can escape?"

 "That's terrifying but no hard feelings, things are needed sometimes, but I might know more than you do.  I can do a lot from here, too."

 "It sounds like what you are doing is likely informed by the information your superiors expose you to."
