Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
My brother and I are very different looking but our mannerisms and speech patterns are so ridic similar that most people comment on how alike we are when they meet us.

Calli - I don't think they are screwing people. Bad management? yes. Low to no bonuses? yes. Job insecurity? some.
