Lady. If you want my honest to God opinion on this, you're not going to fucking like it. But there's a reason duress isn't a defense for murder, and that reason is that it's better to die yourself than to do anything that's going to end in you taking lives. Am I someone who should be giving anybody a goddamn ethics lesson? Probably not. But I've done it before, and in places a lot less nice than this.
You've always got goddamn options, even if you don't like them. My options were defend my life's work and die, which I went ahead and decided to do, or keep being used by those people I owe. Knowing that, I think you can see where I don't have a lot of sympathy for this "oh, if I die I'll just be replaced by someone else" crap. Yeah, of course you will. But if you want to keep pretending you're a good person in all of this, you'd find a way to make sure that the person complicit in all of this isn't you.
