I do not relish this possibility.
I would have other work to attend to. But, I suppose, it may very well be an obligation.
Or, at least, it would be a favor asked for by the correct person.
How things will turn is close, now. There is no prediction to be made. Only waiting.

...I wish people would just let everyone go ahead and do whatever they're best at. Without acting like they're so much better for helping out all organized.

You favor Working Anarchy. It simply isn't sustainable - it requires that people, at their core, be good. Not just good, but extremely good. And that somehow, when a problem comes up, it will be taken care of with the effectiveness of an organized group.
A mob broke out over the death of a girl. Others could have gotten killed, just because people were lost in the hysteria of it all.
To have the sheer arrogance of 'I can handle every problem alone' is to lie to oneself. The same goes for 'Anyone starts trouble, it'll be dealt with. Don't worry.'

...I promised Yorda I wouldn't get in any fight with them. And so I don't want to say anything that's going to get people 'in charge' all huffy. But I don't want anyone to just set up the way I gotta live for me. It's bad enough scientists just dumped people here without a choice.
I don't want to be anybody's puppet.

A government provides protections and essentials in exchange for cooperation from those in that government. To want everything a government gives but not to cooperate in it - well, that's simple, then. You don't work with the government. You lose everything it gives, but that is how a contract - a social contract - works. It doesn't require a signing on the dotted line. It's quite self-evident. And this is not done out of spite but simply because cannot run without people to support it ( ... )

I can live with that.
I don't want daily marching orders. Or anyone saying all the stuff we've got belongs in one inventory that gets to be babysat by some stuffy suited prissyboys.

Your system, again, requires that everyone, at their core, be extremely good. Working Anarchy.
As for marching orders? There is no draft. You don't want to work for anyone? Then don't volunteer. No one has gone into Gohl and told you all to sign up.

It makes it sound like we'll all be here a lot longer than anyone was planning.
...what's the farthest you've been out so far, past the edge of the city?

We have not been fine. We've been adequate. To have faith that someone wouldn't take advantage of an unguarded collection of resources? I had no idea you were so optimistic.
You think short-term. If the scientists are intending to keep us here to repopulate the planet, then the rules change, don't they? I'm planning 10 years in advance.
I didn't measure the miles.

Anyway, the Scientists could just get rid of them whenever they feel like, and the whole thing would collapse all over again.
...how many days out? It's so crazy for such a small city to be out in the middle of nowhere. I mean the food they make has gotta me mostly all fish, at best. There's too...far too few of stuff here, for it to stand alone. There's no factories here that make all this food that's in the cans, all the other stuff!
...the labels. I'm still wondering, where are these places on the labels. There's no maps of Fortuna you've found anywhere? Nowhere?

No maps. Not yet.

Have you lost range at all, with the communicators? We didn't, and we were four days out by the wind.

It's as I told you. You can't have both.
No.

I think all my friends would be living down on Marshall Street too, if they didn't also already feel the same way.
