“Look, Tanisha, if I don’t help Xoth by attributing the attack to Zyz, then Zyz will probably keep their contract with Oakland and may even get that contract with San Francisco. You may think I’m selling out, but I’m making things better.” I cringed at the whine in my voice. “You think things are bad now? How much worse will it be if the only people willing to work on these projects are the people with no morals at all?”

Without a moment’s hesitation: “How much better will it be when everyone with any morals walks away from these evil fuckers and anyone who chooses to stay pays the price of being unwelcome in civilized society?”

You know, fair enough.
