Quote #4
She looks at me. Her eyes are ice-cold. "I told him that our airships will target his hometown next." (1.10.11)
Commander Jameson uses her power to intimidate and bully people into complying. She doesn't care about people's families or their lives—she just wants to get an end result.
Quote #5
You just murdered someone. I can't bring myself to look at Thomas. Can't bring myself to ask him how he can bear to follow orders so blindly. (1.22.10)
Thomas seems to revel in his power—he's more energized than anything after he kills someone for the Republic. What do you think he likes most about power?
Quote #6
Commander Jameson had simply waved a dismissive hand when I asked her. "For once, Iparis," she'd said, "do what you're told and don't question it." Then she added something about a surprise, the unexpected appearance of someone I care very much about. (2.2.6)
June is not encouraged to use her brilliant mind to make suggestions or speak her own ideas. Instead Commander Jameson wants her to stay quiet and follow directions.
