Decades spent on the cutting edge of abstract physics put Dr. Wallace Breen in a unique position to negotiate a sweeping multinational surrender to the extraterrestrial invasion force known as "the Combine." But a lifetime ensconced in the bureaucracy of government-funded research, with its security clearances and an emphasis on theory and long-term exploration over politics and practicality, has left Breen poorly equipped for the moral and political scrutiny his actions have invited. Critics have accused him of rank opportunism, selling out humanity after simply being in the right place at the right time. Breen himself offers only a token rebuttal.
"Those who know me and my work know I'm not a politician,"
he said in an interview televised last night.
"I'm a scientist. Given the data and the extreme nature of the situation, I took the only possible course of action."
No politician indeed, and that's precisely the problem argues Davide Ransomen of the University of Eastern Colorado's political science department "With no claim to a legitimate democratic mandate, Breen has essentially legitimized an interplanetary coup."
