[Probably part of why they got along so well. That and the shared love of tea.]
I am wondering if this isn't a little bit of an object lesson for those of us who have joined forces and resisted COMPASS aboard the Charon.
We know COMPASS punished the Project Head for her inability to subdue the group, I find it difficult to believe they would let our contribution to the breakdown go without comment.
[Sudden oppressive silence in his head had about driven Charles right around the bend. Running off into the wilds was the least reactive response he'd managed.]
Not exactly history for me. I was seven in nineteen thirty-nine.
Still I cannot help wondering if this is a subtle, not that COMPASS is known for subtle, message to us who resist. That despite our efforts, as good as they may be, COMPASS is still going to hold power over us indefinitely.

[ Eliot had noticed that Charles was missing, but he had been swept into military life and hadn't thought to organize things. He probably should've. ]
Not sure that's a good lesson here...
History has the rebels survivin'.

At high costs on both sides and in the end the rebels really do not impact the Nationalist hold over Spain for forty years.

That sums it up. Sounds like you know your history.

You're thinkin' too much on this.
Like you said, COMPASS ain't subtle. They got a message, they'd come outright and say it.
