I think there need to be a few changes in the way things are done, around here. We've allowed our grief to best us, in the fight for survival. We hold to our homes, rarely venturing beyond the tasks we already know, fearing the extinction of our race and yet inviting it by our own inaction

Daniel, you're not the leader of this group - in fact, this group has no leaders - and it's not your place to give orders. Many of your suggestions are right, but you don't have the authority to just declare Adam safe.

[buzz_me]

Don't I? Isn't my presence necessary for the long-term survival of the human race? I don't see any other farmers, Mr. Bennet. You can't kill me, and you can't force me to work.

Thank you for the viral cure. I do appreciate the change in myself, from my experience of the lack of a power.

[agenthrg]

Every person here is irreplaceable, Daniel, and no one is attempting to use that for their personal control. Maybe you should practice the spirit of cooperation you're preaching and follow their example.

[buzz_me]

Forgive me, Mr. Bennet, but it seems to me that you're denying my right to give orders, then giving me no personally relevant reasons to follow yours.

[agenthrg]

What are you doing, Daniel? Are you declaring yourself dictator?

[buzz_me]

No, I'm just declaring your inability to stop me if I did.

As I said, I'd like a spirit of cooperation.

[agenthrg]

You don't want a spirit of cooperation, you want control. Over this entire community.

[buzz_me]

Isn't it safer to have the expert in control?

[agenthrg]

Not if the expert is incapable of human emotion. I wouldn't trust my life in your hands.

[buzz_me]

Well, then. I find myself unconcerned. Your survival is your own responsibility.
