"Why? Because they had the power to back up those decisions, I guess. But they never would have been able to go through with it if there weren't people in the DRF willing to follow those kinds of orders. Maybe some people joined in because they wanted power, or because they thought there was no point in fighting back. Hard to tell."
Zouichi frowned. "It's kind of a long story. I was created by a company called Toua Heavy Industries; it was one of the DRF's corporate rivals and probably the best-equipped to try and counteract the DRF, especially after the world governments went down. In the end, though, it just wasn't enough. Toua's Headquarters was destroyed, and most or all of its personnel along with it. Those that escaped the infection, anyway..."
He looked a little distant then, like he was remembering something that had happened a long time ago. Except it wasn't a long time ago, was it? He hadn't been on the ship that long. "Anyway, that was what my world was like. I told you it wasn't particularly cheerful."
