"Listen, guys, we're named after the incredibly evil artifacts of unknowable power used exclusively by the villains of the most famous fantasy series of all time, devices so dangerous that merely touching one will scar you for life. I honestly don't know what you were expecting here? Was the name too subtle? Should we have just gone with Evil Corp like in Mr Robot? I mean, we deal in mass surveillance. You're clearly working for the bad guys. I genuinely do not understand how you convinced yourself otherwise. There is literally no one too evil for us to buddy up with. The more despicable the better, frankly."
