There were two things about being a scientist that Carlos took very seriously. (Actually, he took everything about being a scientist very seriously; it's just that these two things were particularly relevant to the situation.) One, a scientist's reputation was very important. Two, a scientist should never lie.
Carlos now had a reputation as a liar.
He hated what the Capitol was turning him into.
"I'm used to living in places like this," was his reply, after a moment's thought. "The place they took me from -- Night Vale -- it was a lot like the Capitol, only worse."
