So you're sayin' the Admiral what, plucks people outta the 'verse and decides for them? Doesn't sound like a great way to get people on board the good ship lollipop there.

Or are you sayin' that this place or death isn't a choice? Because I've already heard that one.

[tucky]

Kind of both, I guess. Some people would be glad for that choice and others wouldn't. Both kinds of people got a right to their feelings. And he does decide for them, sometimes; some inmates he asks and other inmates he doesn't. It's fucking stupid.

Everyone's got a right to feelings, doesn't mean it changes the reality of their situation. Look, I'm not gonna defend him - that wasn't part of my deal and I don't know the guy so I can't put my name behind him.

But I could argue that savin' lives, no matter what they might have done, is by and large, still a good thing.

cw: reference to suicidal feelings

-- Yeah. Not everybody who'd choose death would do it for any good reason.

[That, at least, she gets - and while the idea of making the choice against death for someone still makes her feel uncomfortable, the idea of just hanging back and letting them succumb to despair or depression feels even more so.]

But what about the ones who aren't dead? If I'm right and there are plenty of inmates who didn't die at home.

'Good' is objective to the situation, in both directions. And considering that this place has people who might be able to help... [What drove them to death in the first place could be helped. That was the point, right?]

What about them? Ain't it the same argument? The ones that choose chose and those that were kidnapped were likely saved from doing something terrible or going out badly. Unless someone was snatched away from savin' a baby from a fire, I'm inclined to think that somethin' bad was going to happen, to them or their world.

Are you tryin' to decide what side of the asshole ledger to put me here?

[tucky]

Kind of.

But "asshole" is objective to the situation. In both directions.
