Broken Contracts
[Ryou's slumped on a chair somewhere with a bottle of wine in one hand and a hell of a lot of regrets in the other. Meaning it was pressed against his face as he was surrounded by what was more or less a cloud of bitterness. A lot had gone down... and he was feeling the sting from all of it, from Texotic's death to Jack's senseless murder of fellow Ravens to Naiza (Now Zinaida) having become a Human PLUS. They still won, but it felt like dust.]
...
[He slowly swirls the contents of the bottle, an empty look in his eyes. 'A senseless death' he said. That was what was awaiting him, what he expected, what he knew.]
Its always because of someone who sets themselves up higher than everyone else...
[The bottle slips from his fingers and crashes to the ground. Ryou barely even notices. There was a dim light being cast on his face from a tablet on the table showing some Ark related info - things Jack had prepped to sent should he have died. It just made him more bitter really. A man making a terrible mistake and murdering people in hopes to single someone out to clean his mess. Nothing compared to what the Overbeing Father had done, but all the more frustrating because of his ties. He looks at his hand - a slight cut on it from the shattered wine bottle. He tilts it and watches the blood flow along it.]
Should I still bother being human at this point?
[He doesn't notice you at all.]

Now what part of what happened out there -because a lot of stuff did- got you thinking like this?

Realizing just what the Ravens were was a part of it... I thought they were better than the Corporations. Not true at all. I wasn't as free as I thought I was. Turns out Jack's coup was really because he wanted to get his campaign to weed out the ark until he could get his 'Last Raven' to sort out his own damn screw up.
[Ryou picked up the tablet and passed it to Josh.]
Ever since the mission at Silent Line, other Layereds underwent a change from self sustaining shelters to full out weapons factories. Internecines Jack calls them. But something shut them down right after they were finished. He turned one on thinking he could control it.
[There was a flat look on Ryou's face after he made the statement.]
Finding out Naiza went PLUS was another thing. I always figured up until this point it was just unnecessary, an option only people that wanted a shortcut. Then one of the best pilots I know goes and does it.
And...
I don't know how to deal with a lot of the things I've been exposed to ever since we came up to the surface. I'm not like a lot of people here. I don't know how to deal with this. I always figured that once my contract's done I could always go back to the Ark and be around others like me. Now its like I'm a gun in a doctor's bag.
I'm a human who doesn't know the first thing of being human...

[He glances down at the pad before setting it aside.]
As for dealing with stuff? You're doing that right now. Talking to people, getting it off your chest. Catharsis stuff.
As for Naiza? All I can say is that if augmentation was all it's cracked up to be, everyone would want to become a... Next or a Coordinator or whatever else you want to call it.
And lastly.
[Brotherly hand-pat of solidarity time!]
Sometimes a gun has every right to be in that doctor's bag. Maybe the doctor likes to use the butt of it instead of a hammer when testing reflexes. It's just a tool, same as any other.
