Sid,
one minor point: an enclave is a territory whose geographical boundaries lie entirely within the boundaries of another territory....
Zombie Land.
The other thing is not all of them are treated like prisoners. I'm willing to bet that if everyone was all gung ho, there wouldn't be any issues. Human nature is to rebel though.
The thing is that the rules are too strict.. rigid may be a better word... or better yet, interpreted wrong.
I keep seeing Kelly being elevated to something like the Colony judge.
The other thing.. 12 hour shift isn't really all that bad considering the time and place. In perspective; farmers put in more hours. Hell, I even learned from my time with the 18th Airborne in haiti that the Army doesn't even have a clue what sleep is. LOL
The simplest solution is that if someone doesn't pull their fair share, they don't eat. Me, i'd make them scavengers. Survival of the fittest. If they survive, they're helping by bringing stuff and intel back. If they die.. well, good riddance.
The only thing is that Marcus doesn't want anyone to find out about the place.
