The messages revealed to us by Judas suggest that those well-positioned in megacorporations have had some exceptional knowledge of us. If they don't know who brought us here, they at least have the resources to narrow it down.
And how long do you think that influence will last if someone starts throwing their weight around and asking questions they aren't comfortable with? I'm betting they only play nice as long as the governor toes the line.
What do you plan to do? Dig yourself a hole to hide in?
Your refusal to engage will not stop the people with the power from manipulating us. Our people disappear week-to-week. We have no idea what else might have been done to us while we were in their custody, and no idea how long it will be until they take us back.
There is no other path to the power we need to resist them. Laying down arms is surrender, not righteousness.
Refusing to become governor so you can use me as a puppet isn't hiding in a hole, it's turning down a stupid plan you put no thought into. You have no idea if there's another path. You just want the one that gives you the most direct control.
Besides, you're not even paying attention. Everyone knows I'm close to Clarke. We live together. We work at a bar for the Displaced. It's going to take two seconds for them to figure out where I'm really from.
How do you think this ends for you? You put one of us in charge of the city and you end up being the real leader from the shadows? All your dreams come true and they give back whatever they took?
We aren't equipped to get the answers that we want. Not as we are now. What would you propose we do instead, to find those responsible for bringing us here?

The messages revealed to us by Judas suggest that those well-positioned in megacorporations have had some exceptional knowledge of us. If they don't know who brought us here, they at least have the resources to narrow it down.
And the governor has influence in those circles.

In any event, you've convinced me that you aren't the person I'm looking for.
