"Like the bad guy said, never give an artist a Browning; they're some of the most dangerous folks you can meet... Artists almost always want an audience, the spectacle of destruction. That name -- Dadaist. It's a dead giveaway. Expect a senseless act of mass violence, the theater of cruelty. About all I can do is try and keep him talking while you get in position to kill him. And don't give him anything he might mistake for an audience." --Charles Stross, "Iron Sunrise."
