because Veritaserum is the equivalent of perfect box for AI
Except if I’m an AI in a perfect box I can’t do as I please and destroy everything but if I’m a free agent drugged with veritaserum I can but I’m completely honest and forthcoming about it. As in:
[Harry is under the influence of a truth serum] Samir: Is there anything you’d like to tell me before we start? Harry: Yeah. I’m going to kill you pretty soon. Samir: I see. How, exactly? Harry: First I’m going to use you as a human shield. Then I’m going to kill this guard over here with the Patterson trocar on the table. And then I was thinking about breaking your neck. Samir: And what makes you think you can do all that? Harry: You know my handcuffs? Samir: Mmm-hmm. Harry:[holds up his hands] I picked them. [Samir gasps. Harry springs up from his chair and grabs Samir, using him as a shield while he kills the guard, then breaks Samir’s neck]
And… Ok, that name collision just completely changed the way I visualize MoR!Harry.

Someone will want to know that you’re quoting True Lies.
Someone else, I suppose.
