Oken: "Mint killed Jones, but your trouble with him kept coming up, but what was it?"
Droegen: "my trouble with Jones?"
Droegen let's out a deep sigh
Droegen: "Marit Jones was a product of the times, in this case times of war. A whole generation has grown up knowing nothing but conflict their entire lives."
he's not just talking about Jones, or even just Solars . . .
Droegen: "Jones was born to war profiteers, gangsters, scavengers . . . pirates. His whole life that's all he knew, when I tried to show him a better path he could only see me as another crime lord.
when ever he screwed up he'd figure I'd have to make him suffer in even if only to save face, it was how society work in his eyes. He must have had a lot of respect for me, cause when I didn't deliver payback he got scared, damn scared."
Oken: "Why?"
Droegen: "He was scared that my people might see weakness in my pity for him, and over throw me. So he started doing stupid things to prove to everyone he was worth keeping around."
Oken: "he did mention something about doing stupid things . . ."
Droegen: "I had nothing against Jones and I don't know why your friend killed him, he was just dumb kid screwed up by the war and he deserved better."
