Perhaps that wasn't the best way to take a vote.
Okay, those who agree with part one say Aye, and those in faor of part two say "Yes".

Yes. I would say aye but tossing a fat guy out of the window is amazing stress relief.

Yes.  I'm still against the soul-ripping, it's pointless and just plain evil.  Remember what Diane said?  While we're causing a lot of pain and anguish *now*, the world will be a better place in the end... unless we become like these sick "scientists", addicted to causing pain.  We should interrogate them, and it should be painful, and Diane can torture them if it makes her more loyal.  But in the end we have to be better than they are, and using the banshee would make us just as bad.

You're right... stripping souls would be pointless.  It doesn't even serve as a very good example, it's not visceral enough.  Horrible without being showy.  I retract my support of it.

We need to think of a good punishment that hurts more than it needs to, but isn't so vile as a lifetime of torture.  Make examples, but don't make ourselves into the worse monster.

What if we gathered up all of their victims into a room, put the perpetrators in there with one broken leg apiece and let them dance for 10-15 minutes, then use our brutes to collapse the room on them, putting an end to the suffering of both scientists and science projects?

Wait, am I too late?

We could explain to them the concept of soul-ripping before we start,  if it isn't showy enough by itself.

Still no good for propaganda videos.  If anything, it makes us look like a supervillain taking time out for some compulsory gloating.  Doesn't really fit the idea of rightly punishing the real monsters.

Yes.
Once we've done, lead him into the experiment room and ask him to account for what he's done. No excuse will be good enough.

It's an aye-aye. Get it? Aye-aye? Alright, moving on...
And I believe that right now we could care less about propaganda and are merely occupied with making their last minutes hell on earth...

The individuals -- while appalling -- are only branches of the problem.  The root of the problem is the company that made them, and us.  We're just going to keep finding this and worse shit if we don't rip that sucker up by the roots and burn it to ash.  If we can't get public support to help us, we can at least try to convince them that they don't want to sign up to help our enemies.

We just destroyed two cities. I don't think we're going to get a whole lot of sympathy from the masses.
