[Feel lucky, Elliot's roommates. He's finally taking his complaining to the full network! =D

He's standing in one of the rooms, specifically his, but he doubts anyone can tell.]

I've had as much of this nonsense as I can stand! How are these ever supposed to be livable conditions?! The last place was bad enough, but I doubt any amount of possible improvements could ever make this place even come close to that! YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE REAL BEDS HERE!

[To make his point, he turns to focus on the shot on one of the bunk beds before going back to himself.]

Is there even a point in trying to do anything with this place?! The Initiative has made it more than obvious that their response to a real problem is to run like cowards!

But they think just going back and trying to change things is going to make a difference? They're even running away from this!

.. You're right. Desperation led them to bring us here.

There's safer places, there's better places to fight... But that's not what they thought of.

I just... I don't want to let despair control me.

Then don't! Maybe we were forced to follow them here to survive, but you're the one picking your own path in the end!

Then what the hell do you suggest we do?

Just stewing in anger is no different than stewing in despair.

I'M TRYING TO GET SOMETHING STARTED RIGHT NOW!

I do think something needs to be done about that attack, but it shouldn't involve pretending it never happened!

[have_hat_will_travel]

I agree with that.

However, I wonder if we shouldn't also place an objective on making this place better for our needs. More comfortable in various ways.

Like, yes, non-crap-ass beds.

[nobleminded]

Exactly! They have no idea how long we're going to be here, so they could at least try to treat us with some respect after everything they've done!

[have_hat_will_travel]

I don't think they have the capacity to do anything.

Things like bedding upgrades and expanding the base, right now? Are pretty much on us.

[nobleminded]

Then they should admit to that and try to accommodate us as best as possible in making improvements! They're only making a minimal effort at best!

[have_hat_will_travel]

Consider that the living initiative consists of twelve people right now.

They literally have zero capacity for stuff like this - so every bit of it done is on us.
