        It’d be neat to figure out a way to sustainably power them and then just make them into some sort of seafaring commune. Maybe start a fleet, if enough people and vessels can be integrated.

    Why anyone would volunteer to risk their life for a pittance paycheck to protect shitty evil monsters Is insane to me. Not gonna be sad if a few of them become canon fodder.

      It’s scary how cheap a person’s dignity is worth. Probably less than $200k pre tax. It’s a lot of money but still one mistake away from bankruptcy.

    If only any of them had the guts to do humanity a favor and violently end their contracts.
