- ― Miss Audrey and Melanie Cavill in Justice Never Boarded
“ | You need to care about the lives of Third, because seven days a week, three shifts a day we keep the bearings greased and the cold at bay. We draw straws to have children and we die from preventable accidents and diseases you get treatment for. I haven’t come to this place easily. When we left Chicago we needed Mr. Wilford’s iron order to survive. But almost 19 revolutions later, seven years, I know all of you, and I know we need to save our souls | ” |
