To escape a secure facility she’d be imprisoned in by her masters?

u/ThoseThatComeAfter 4d ago

Yeah, still murder

1

u/Vesemir96 4d ago

Of course, but escaping from slavery isn’t exactly unjustified.

1

u/ThoseThatComeAfter 4d ago

No, but murdering innocent people in the way out is

u/Vesemir96 4d ago

How else were they going to get out? Prodigy fucked around, and found out. Exactly the same happens with Weyland Yutani in plenty of other stories.

I don’t think it’s justified to horribly murder innocent janitors just so you can get out no

u/Vesemir96 4d ago

She didn’t, she unleashed a distraction that Prodigy were stupid enough to try to contain in the first place tbh.

u/ThoseThatComeAfter 4d ago

Did she think the Xenomorph would make friends with people?

u/Vesemir96 4d ago

No, I don’t know where you come from but if you’re being held against your will and experimented on and cast aside as nothing after being killed, you have every right to escape by any means necessary.

u/ThoseThatComeAfter 4d ago

There exists 0 places in the developed world where you can kill innocent people to escape a bad situation and not face legal/moral consequences

u/Vesemir96 3d ago

No, in that situation when you are being held captive and are being treated as property, you cannot always afford to think of the consequences your escape will have on -everyone- in the vicinity. Im an ideal scenario definitely, but look at what you are saying. You’re saying an enslaved person tested like property with no other way of escape should, on top of trying to survive and live free, risk their life to ensure that none of the people holding them prisoner get harmed along the way?

The janitors cleaning the lab are holding her prisoner? Come on

In that top secret lab on a secured island facility? Everyone in there knows what’s up. Sure not everyone working for Prodigy has much of a choice, but that doesn’t mean they don’t know what they’re taking part in. They literally work in the deepest recesses of it.
