major_westI've been here for nearly two years now, and while others may have seen results, I have not. It's become clear to me that no matter what course I'd have taken, the end result would have been the same: they live. My men and I die. Perhaps, if I had been a better man-- by whatever metric you wardens measure it by-- I'd have had no second chance at all. My death would have brought peace, a darkness, whatever it is those who do not end up on the Barge receive... and nothing more.
In light of that, I must admit that I've even less reason to repent. I'm quite attached to consciousness, to simply being and feeling alive, even if it's in death here.
Survival is all that matters.

Date: 2010-02-01 02:04 am (UTC)Six months ago, when I started the riot, one of my friends was attacked and tortured by the Master because she was in the wrong place, at the wrong time, and he took it as a window of opportunity. Several people died. My own Warden was shot. If I blamed myself for everything that happened while others were abusing the situation, I'd never get any sleep.

I will always feel responsibility for the deaths of my men, but they were my soldiers. I wasn't yours. The actions of a knowing volunteer and an insane zealot are not on your hands.

Date: 2010-02-01 02:38 am (UTC)Private - You really...really shouldn't. West just justified EVERYTHING Iago does...
Date: 2010-02-01 02:44 am (UTC)Do you really believe that, if you leave this Barge, the only option is to die?
Private - West is a horrible jerk with MESSED UP MORALS, so the Marquis picked the wrong dude :c
Date: 2010-02-01 02:48 am (UTC)Private - Iago's not complaining about it now XD
Date: 2010-02-01 02:52 am (UTC)Especially as I have nowhere to go, either.
