Ness's children... how ironic. She chose you - do you know that? Hundreds of species to choose from... and she chose you. Maybe she saw something special in you, or maybe it was complete chance. Either way, here we are. You win... for now. Do not dare take this victory lightly. You have made a powerful enemy in us. The Black Needle does not forgive, and we do not forget.
