What is happening? I've been on top for years. Years! And yet now these upstarts have the audacity to question what I've done to make me worthy of being on top? Hah! Obviously, I'm on top because I'm the best at what I do. If I weren't, I wouldn't be in charge. Sure, I may not have actually published anything in a while…and ok, yes, I did silence the research into that potential cure for that red bioweapon because the lead scientist had said I wasn't worthy of being in charge–but of course I did! I'm in charge, and only the best are in charge! Therefore, I'm the best! She needed to learn her place! That's not anything for me to be ashamed of–it's just being a good leader! And I am a good leader–that's why I'm a leader! So, I'm not worried at all about these upstarts. Nope. They have no right to question me. Nope. Not worried at all…
