It's the goddamn in-fighting all over again. Sam can see it playing all over. One document sends Steve and Tony to different sides of the table and dragging their allies along with them. A stack of crates appears in the woods and now the exact same thing is happening here. Sam doesn't like it. They'd been doing so well as a group up until now. Sure, Sam still knew so little about so many, but they'd made it nearly two months now without trouble.
"All right. We're obviously not going to get anywhere if we're too riled up to hear the other side. I think we can all agree that there are viable points being made here. But let's not forget that we have managed to survive nearly two full months here without much in the way of outside help."
He gestures at a woman he barely knows but whose point he agrees with the most, "Why is this the line though? We've been sleeping in these houses, using the few tools that were left here, and even keeping the pets being sent as early Christmas presents."
Sam gets that Jo and Kol have previous experience. The boxes could be cursed, they would't know. Hell, they could be drinking poisoned water and the seeds they're planting could be all genetically altered to kill them. That still doesn't explain to Sam why the crates are suddenly the big bad here.
"Other boxes have already been opened and we've been working in a damn garden with seeds from one of them. You want us to go back and dig those up as well? They're forcing our hand, but I'm waiting for one of you two to propose an alternative then -- and maybe stop acting like we haven't already been using everything they've already given us. Cause I don't want to play out some twisted version of Survivor for the amusement of our captors...but I'd also like to not starve to death, freeze to death, or whatever other ways we can possibly die here."
