( it's going to get bad in the next few months, kovacs thinks, if they don't get some way off this station. maybe not to get back home but down to the planet or in a ship or something. these walls are gonna start closing in and things are going to get bad. )

The more time that we're here, the worse it's going to fucking be. Trust me.

( her mention of this station being one grand fucking experiment has him frowning. )

I think it's the right call. Has anything good happened to anyone here? Anyone gotten a fucking raise? A pardon?

( he could answer that one. the answer was fucking no. )

Or has it just people getting themselves fucking killed or hurt or messed with? We're mice in a maze.
