To be perfectly honest, I'd have to side with Security on this one.

The cold hard fact of the matter is that cramming 50,000 people onto something meant for 5,000 is unsustainable, and it's only going to get worse. whats really needed is a culling, as horrible as it sounds. the population needs to be reduced or else EVERYBODY dies.

I've not really seen anything specifically say whether those in charge allowed the refugees on out of the goodness of their hearts, or because they simply couldn't stop them, or perhaps somewhere inbetween where they allowed them at first, but faster than they could react, the numbers simply became to huge? regardless, it may very well prove the undoing of the arc. from a coldly logical standpoint, the security is largely in the right, the arc belongs to the original colonists more than the resistance. And as history has shown time and time again (and will continue to do so as long as 2 human beings exist) when two groups cannot survive together, one of them has to go. it's the biological drive to fight tooth and nail for survival, for resources, and for the continuation of the species, complicated by such concepts as culturalism or nationalism where it's more than just you as an individual concept, but as a people concept. Its not much of a stretch to see the resistance as an invading army...in truth it's pretty much what they are.

conversely, the resistance is fighting for the most basic drive of all, survival. for them it's an all or nothing fight. they win, or they're pushed off the arc.

regardless, someone's gotta get pushed off, either the original residence, or the refugees, either shoved off into the waters to hopefully find a new home, or...well...we've all heard of Soylent Green, havn't we?

IRL the simple fact that you have a computer and can care about videogames would place you on the living a nicer life at the expense of others in poverty.
