SCENE 1: THE POLICE STATION.
NATHAN REEVES:
Leslie looks at you through the bars. Her hair is stuck to her face caked with mud and blood, yet she still has that same ember in her eyes. Fire of youth.

B. You open the cell. "Come on, let's get out of here."
C. "Are you alright?"

NATHAN REEVES:
A. "That's all? Kid, look at you. You're going for trouble." You shake your head. "You look like someone with nothing left to lose."
B. "Leslie, we lost that goddamn war. You need to accept that and move on. Fuck. I can't always be getting you out of trouble. I've got a debt to pay."
CHOICE A.
NATHAN REEVES:->"That's all? Kid, look at you. You're going for trouble." You shake your head. "You look like someone with nothing left to lose."
LESLIE ALEXANDER:
AA. “Nathan, what else do I have to fucking lose? I lost my friends. I lost my job. I lost my goddamn future,” you stop and look at him. “It’s alright. You wouldn’t understand... As long as you have your ship, you think we’re free, but we’re really not."
AB. ""And who the fuck are you to tell me that? What do YOU have left Nathan? Your ship? A few hundred bucks? Please ENLIGHTEN ME."

LESLIE ALEXANDER:
BA. “How can I possibly do that Nathan? I fucking lost everything. My job, my friends, my future. Everything. I want to live freely, and I won’t get that until we have an actual GOVERNMENT.”
BB. "Nathan listen! We lost because we were betrayed, but we can do it again and win. We've learned from our mistakes, haven't we? We can start something new. You and me."
