[Chicago's considered lawless even by the standards of New York's various crime families, so Firo can assume basically what Murphy means.]
I think usually I'd say those guys out in Chicago are a little too brutal, but for things like this it's just right. People have gotten killed for less.
Too bad it doesn't seem like whatever bastard's responsible for all this'll own up soon.
[Not having someone he can confront for this--the murder, the ship, everything--is an unusual frustration for Firo.]
It was a mess. People who didn't fit into their little hivemind were being arrested and then brainwashed or something. It's like you lost all sense of who you were and just literally became part of their system.
Anyone would be better off dead than to stay there.
Glad you at least got out okay. I feel bad for whoever's still stuck there. Even if they don't know what's being done to them is sick, it's still awful.
There was a guy back home who tried to run people's minds and whenever they started thinking for themselves he'd just kill them.
[Ennis had the choice to rebel and die or stay under his control. Maybe she was more fortunate than those people.]
Doubt there was much that could be done for any of those people. Whatever happened to them, it's been going on for some time. Doesn't make it any easier though.
Christ. The fact that there are more people out there who'd go and do the same thing like that is messed up.
Yeah, I used to think he was a pretty damn special brand of evil, but I guess not. Seems like as long as people can screw with someone else's head, they will.

[text] it's all good!

Date: 2013-01-21 11:29 pm (UTC)Can't say the so-called captain of this boat is going to be much help, either - and even if he DID know...
Doubt he'd be telling US.

Date: 2013-01-22 02:05 am (UTC)I don't plan on sticking around to see if we're just going to go the way of the last crew... whatever the hell happened to them.

Date: 2013-01-23 01:58 am (UTC)Even if you do find a way out of here, how would you get home?
[text]
Date: 2013-01-23 03:51 am (UTC)At this point going back home isn't a big deal to me anyway. If we can get to someplace safe, then that's good enough for me.
[text]
Date: 2013-01-23 10:26 pm (UTC)I don't see a point in going anywhere but home. Anyway, is there even any safe place out there?

Date: 2013-01-24 01:05 am (UTC)Some of us went to this outpost called Strela awhile back. That place wasn't much better than HERE - some people almost didn't even make it back.

Sorry.

Date: 2013-01-27 10:54 pm (UTC)One of the people he messed with got to stab him in the back, at least.

[He's been fortunate that even if he's not the one doing the beating, he's seen the people who wronged him get paid back. It's comforting, in a way.]
