"Also at the end of the game she singlehandedly fights *THE FIRST INFECTED IN SEATTLE* who has evolved into a super-powerful, heretofore unknown goliath called a Rat King, and it can break off fast minions with armor plating. She's one of the good Fireflies, because I said so."

Like even the Fireflies in this game, as an organization, get Draco-In-Leather-Pants'ed HARD They were never decent people in the first game. But it's like we're supposed to be brainwashed into liking them via positive associations with the word "Firefly" via Joss Whedon

Spinning the surgeon as this goofy nice guy who cares about animals and all of their junior ranks as these sorts of True Companions who have each other's backs As if the Fireflies are not EXPLICITLY said to be the remnants of the civilian federal government

Like let's be real here, since the Fireflies were the successor to the American civilian government, and the Salt Lake hospital compound was the core of the Firefly organization, and the leader of that compound was Jerry Anderson, that makes Jerry de facto a president-in-exile

Replying to @Nymphomachy
Enh They lampshade that the Firefly "organization" is loose enough that Jerry could've done whatever the fuck he wanted because he runs the hospital because he lives there But technically Marlene does outrank him and is seen as the Fireflies' national leader

Abby is a total daddy's girl though, that's even what her name means
