Quote #7
If you want to rebel, rebel from inside the system. That's much more powerful than rebelling outside the system. And if you choose to rebel, bring me with you. (2.10.66)
Metias chooses to tell June everything that he knows because he wants her to know the truth about the Republic—and to make her own decisions about it. He wants to give her the opportunity to see past all of the lies that they tell.
Quote #8
I've made up my mind. By the end of this week, I'll tell Commander Jameson that I'm going to withdraw from her patrol. I'll complain about the hours and say that I don't see you enough. Something like that. (2.10.78)
Poor Metias—his decision to quit actually seals the deal when it comes to his death. The Republic is brutal and is certainly not going to let someone with that much inside knowledge and intelligence survive.
Quote #9
I'm going to help Day escape. (2.10.106)
This is a huge decision for June—it means turning her back on everything she's been raised into, and all the privilege that she's accumulated. This is saying goodbye to her social standing, to her opportunities, to her beautiful apartment and financial rewards. Do you think it's worth it?
