[ while he doesn't know leon or the relationship he had to the person that these robots took the form of, it's clear that they were close enough for this to disturb him. it's... troubling, to say the least. in a way, this is worse than if the robots simply turned on their owners.
while he is sympathetic, that doesn't mean that he can let a robot escape during an emotional refractory period. he motions to metagross, who activates its telekinesis again to trip the bot and pin it to the ground. ]
I'm sorry, but we can't afford to let them go free. [ a pause. ] If you don't destroy it, we will.
[ leon isn't the only one at risk here - steven is only thinking of the greater good. it seems cold, but it's necessary. ]
