CW: child abuse and alcoholism mentions

[She'd kidnapped kids in John's service, but never brought one to physical harm. She'd even gone out of her way to comfort one, without John's permission or knowledge, while on the verge of her own mental and emotional breakdown.

She remembers her father raining blows upon her tiny body, reeking of alcohol all the while, then dragging her to the closet under the stairs and locking her in the dark for hours. She remembers pissing herself in fear, lost in her nyctophobia, and how that only made him angrier. She will not visit that upon another child. She will not become him.]


I can do that. [She feels very at home in such facilities, having spent the final months of her life on Earth in an abandoned meat packing plant. This will be easy for her.] I have plenty of experience with plants and production. I can hit 'em where it hurts most.
