"Fear is like any other weapon," he said. "It can be exhausted. When you go into the next hive-spires, look at the people. They are afraid, terrified, all of the time. Every waking moment they're gripped by anxiety. They fear the Alien. They fear their neighbour. Any second of any day they might be hauled down to the scrutiny cells by an arbitrator or a priest or - throne help them - one of us. They're numb to it. We are numb to it. We forget what the fear of the guilty looks like, for we have made innocence impossible"
--Lord Inquisitor Erasmus Crowl
