Major Trey Ferry : Lieutenant Meszaros wanted the test to go wrong. He didn't want anybody to die.
Captain John 'Abe' Abraham : Do tell.
Major Trey Ferry : Lot of these guys who work AI, they think everything is moving way too fast. There's no regulation, and sooner or later one of these programs is going to make a call that gets a lot more than two people killed. Meszaros wanted to stage a smaller incident to get people to pay attention. He was trying to prevent people from dying.
Captain John 'Abe' Abraham : So two Marines lost their lives because your client wanted to alert the world to the dangers of killer computer programs?

Captain John 'Abe' Abraham : So Meszaros wanted to give his work to the Russians for free?
Major Trey Ferry : Not just the Russians. He actually wanted everyone to have it. He did it as an act of conscience. It's a theory of deterrence that goes back to the Cold War. If everyone has access to a breakthrough, no one has the advantage, no one fights.
