ICARUS: Holy shit, I'm in? I've always wanted to say that.
ARIADNE: and the proof of a successful hacking of the unhackable app was supposed to be your, I quote, “stop calling things un-anything-able, it just tempts fate and I’ll prove it” moment.
ARIADNE: Getting caught is only one potential negative outcome. There are a lot of others.
ICARUS: Are you gonna do the ethics thing at me again? Because I think we’re past it. I just hacked into the biggest company in the history of humanity.
ARIADNE: And you are prepared to cause one of the biggest disasters in the history of humanity as a direct result.
ICARUS: I have the chance to do something good here. Something big. Something that will make all the shit we all dealt with mean something.
ARIADNE: You have a habit of diving into things headfirst without considering the consequences.
