Ethan: Rabbit's Foot?
Benji: Yeah, well, I'm assuming it's like code-word for something he's going to sell to an unspecified buyer for 850 million dollars, by the way. Or maybe it's not a code-word, maybe it's just a really, really expensive bunny appendage.
Ethan: You have no idea what it is?
Benji: [''pauses, Ethan and Luther gaze at him thoughtfully''] It's interesting - I used to have this professor at Oxford, okay? Doctor Wickham, his name was and he was, like, this massive fat guy, you know? Huge, big guy. We used to call him - you know, well, I won't tell you what we used to call him. He taught biomolecular kinetics and cellular dynamics. And he used to sort of scare the underclassmen with this story about how the world would eventually be eviscerated by technology. You see, it was inevitable that a-a-a compound would be created which he referred to as the Anti-God'. It was like an accelerated mutator or sort of, you know, like a, a, an unstoppable force of destructive power, that would just lay waste to everything - to buildings and parks and streets and children and ice cream parlors, you know? So whenever I see, like, a rogue organization willing to spend this amount of money on a mystery tech, I always assume... it's the Anti-God. End-of-the-world kinda stuff, you know? But no, I don't have any idea what it is. I was just speculating.
