"The people we've helped might say we're good. But the law? Probably not." He's been pretty open about what he does. So Price can likely figure out that it's not exactly legal where he's from.
"Not sure the law ever took into account things like werewolves and vampires and demons, oh my." Then again, Jorgmund didn't seem to take that into account much, either.
"I'm sorry, Sam, I'm afraid that definition might apply to everyone here on the Rig."
Which is true, mind you, but he says it defensively. The only other universally hated person here besides Mac is, well, himself. They probably hate Mac for the same reason, an illness he can't help, with the difference that they may not justify that hate with 'he committed war crimes and killed millions'.
Sam shakes his head. "Mac is a different sort of 'a lot'. The kind that comes from Christian fundamentalism and terrible opinions about everything. Thought it was just about women to start with, but no. It's terrible opinions all the way down."
"Oh. Is there someone he feels comfortable talking to?"
He's not sure whether he wants to befriend Mac or torture him, he hasn't decided yet. To be fair others couldn't blame him for hitting what they consider an acceptable target. On the other hand, maybe they are just ableist and judging Mac for having ASPD or whatever illness.
"Oh, he is definitely comfortable talking to everybody." It's not that Mac might not be on the Autism Spectrum. It was more that his personality was just that repugnant.
He considers Price for a moment, then tilts his head. "That said. I'm sure he wouldn't mind somebody else to talk to." It feels mean, inflicting Mac on Price. But the man might deserve it.
Of course not knowing anything about him Price cannot make a diagnosis, but he knows from experience that low functioning antisocial behaviour is hard to live with and as much as he doesn't really care about Mac's safety he wants to prove others that they are the jerks who are wrong and who knows, maybe he and Mac can have a good time without stupid moral principles getting in the way.
"Good. I think I might give it a try sometime this week." he smiles as he heads out "Have a nice day."

It's not like he hasn't seen unusual things like alien babies, talking bombs and alleged time travel in his files.

He replies dismissively, but he is aware that everyone seems to universally hate the man for reasons that are still unknown to him.
