How can people be so idle when there is so much at stake at your inaction?
[It's quiet. The past jump has not been kind to Marius. In fact, he sounds positively unsettled, almost as if he needs to just go to sleep and not talk to the public at large, but he needs to do something and this is the only way he can make his heart less heavy.]
We are slaves here to the whim of individuals we cannot even see, to those we cannot even meet, and -- I cannot keep quiet about it any longer.
[He draws in a breath.]
I know there will be much discussion about why we are here and whether or not we can escape -- and I am interested in hearing all of that, but what I am more interested in is opinion. I want to hear what people feel about being here, be it anger or apathy, rather than the facts of our situation, for nothing has ever been changed with cruel numbers and statistics so much as heart.
[And he stills for a long moment before Marius shuts off the feed -- and, maybe twenty minutes later, he sends out a text.]

voice
A horrible combination of feelings, really.
voice
Better than being angry or frustrated, I suppose.
voice
Still doesn't make it any less mind-numbingly frustrating, however. There's little freedom to be had on this metal clunk of a ship.
voice
[To talk about rebellion and freedom and how much being on this ship sucks balls, that is.]
voice
Discussion is allowed, but discussion is dull. All talk, little action.

Sometimes cities go up in flames. Like I said, not the sort of action you'd want in a place where there's no escape.
