Hearing Samara say that 'Galatec was not their friend' let it sink in for Clementine that this wasn't a joke.  Then this alien named John showed them a video of Galatec's legacy.  Clementine admitted that Galatec had its fair share of issues, but Galatec was so big, some things were bound to slip through the cracks.  Besides, wasn't the best way to change a broken system to fix it from the inside?  And it wasn't like Clementine was completely unaware of some of the 'less ethical' aspects of the company or the 'harsher' working conditions of some of the employees; her short time at the mines had shown her more than enough, it didn't seem like Galatec had much intention to hide it from her.  But it was just one of those things people were supposed to take as an unfortunate necessity.  That's right, if it weren't for the rebels disrupting operations, output would be at maximum, profit margins would be met, and the surplus would be trickled down, improving everyone's standard of living.  Yes, if this alien was true to his word, he'd let her walk away from here; she could report what she had seen, no doubt he worked with the rebels who made life difficult for everyone.  She turned to look at Jonah for reassurance, and he gave it to her by placing his hand on her shoulder, calming her considerably.  She was about to ask to be allowed to leave when Jonah did something she didn't expect: he laughed.  Then he mentioned that their lives as employees was officially over.

[color=ffff00]"Mr. Fallen! Y-you can't mean that!"[/color] Clementine gasped as she turned around, grabbing his collar.  [color=ffff00]"I'm just an office worker, I'm not part of this.  They'll take me back...they'll forgive me...I've worked too hard to lose everything like this..."[/color] She said this more in an attempt to convince herself against what she already knew to be true.  Clementine dropped to her knees and recalled all the news stories she had seen, reminding her of some of the more draconian measures that were taken against rebels and suspected rebel sympathizers, measures that she felt were justified at the time but thought otherwise now that she was potentially on the receiving end.  Of course, none of it fell under the legal definition of 'torture', but then again, the legal team that defined 'torture' was part of Galatec's own legal department.

[color=ffff00]"My life is over.  They'll kill me, or worse..."[/color] Clementine muttered to herself.  She looked at Jonah, then at Samara and John, and then over to Oliver and Tommy.  Then, uncharacteristically, Clementine asked something she never thought she'd dare to ask, [color=ffff00]"I-is there any hope of us winning?"[/color]
