I did a lot more bowing and scraping before I got on this than boat than after.
Who demanded that of you? I think perhaps that's something that should be taken up with them. And I dare say people don't graduate often because becoming a better person is actually incredibly difficult.
[She purses her mouth, focused, like she struggling with something.]
I really don't understand what you want out of this, what you want me to say. Do you want me to admit everything is hopeless, slavery or perpetual pyrrhic revolt, stand back to back with you, screaming in self-admitted uselessness to stave off despair? Because that feels like giving up to me, and I've got too many good things in my life right now, for the first time since I was burned alive, to do that.
You're right that the system is very deeply broken. You're wrong that there's nothing we can do about it - Tosh took over, and there are people here who vaguely understand how. I honestly wouldn't trust a single person on this boat not to screw things up worse than the Admiral does, but the option is there if you want to agitate for that. There are demands you could make of the wardens, persuade enough inmates to make life difficult enough - the kitchens have almost broken down frequently in the last few months, a targeted strike there would be worth all kinds of leverage. I mean - I don't know, you're the one with the grievances, you figure it out.
