Everyone wants things + more than half this crew had no idea what they were agreeing to when they signed on. Just because recruiting is good at manipulation doesn't mean everyone who said yes is just looking out for themselves
I wouldn't go that far. I think people's perspectives tend to get colored by their actions

don't worry! I agree with you. I think people have a lot of reasons for joining. the ones that weren't tricked anyway. it's giving this place too much credit to say they make a deal we bought into, fair or not
[Not really. Some people got tricked into this gig and some people jumped in with both feet and all of them were screwed, so what did it matter how any of them got here?]

I was just a pilot. maybe the detail oriented part only happens to marines
no subject
Maybe it's the rank
[Which is a dick thing to say, but factual so of course she's going to say it. Not like it's relevant here anyway.]
no subject
your file says you're a commander?

probably that's it the rebel alliance was pretty informal

I'm sorry to hear war is so common. you're not the first person I've talked to who has another war going on at home

Crew's made up of 85% desperate people. It makes sense most of them are coming out of a bad situation
[Not that she counts herself in that percentage. You know. For clarity.]
no subject
that's a kinder assessment than I've heard from most people. Last time it came up someone told me people only agreed because they were selfish
no subject
Did the person who told you that include themselves in that boat?
no subject
they did

That's a good attitude to have

Thanks I guess. It just makes sense. you shouldn't make excuses for people who are holding you hostage
FROM: skywalker.luke@cdc.org
but I was tricked into being here so I guess that colors MY perspective
no subject
I wasn't. Still gives them too much credit
no subject
really? you didn't strike me as the type to come willingly
[Uh.]
FROM: skywalker.luke@cdc.org
not that that's any of my business! sorry I know that's a personal issue for a lot of people

You don't have to apologize. I'm the one who said it
no subject
do you want to talk about it?
no subject
What's there to talk about
no subject
not much I guess! I figured you wanted to
