Slippery Slope

You frown at nothing as your teammates walk away. You really had them going there - maybe you should have been an actor. It felt good to rip that Tollan tech out of a pristine Tollan wall. If the black hats had restricted their activities to Tollana rather than robbing protected Asgard worlds...

Now that's the slippery slope you pretended to slide down. What's one stolen ion cannon if it means saving the five billion people of Earth from certain death?

You pull off your cool bad-guy black hat. You don't want to fall for your own cover story.
