[Lowell nearly snorts when Vennett speaks up again. He was wondering the same thing, but glad Vennett brought it up first. Although, according to creepy blue-skin woman, they aren't part of UE. Which could either be a bold-faced lie, or then this is just some... sudden rebellion. Most likely the latter with the lack of UE soldiers suddenly bursting throughout the whole station. Lowell gives a glance to Vennett, and then back to addressing the group as a whole.

Starting with an eyeroll.]

Not UE? So you've just decided all to yourselves, you're going to start a hostage situation. Complete with rope.

[Lowell adds, dragging out the sarcastic tone as he looks to Connor.]

Great.

Has it occurred to you that we aren't even getting paid right now? We're here working round-the-clock hours so you twats can do whatever you what, whenever you want.

[And maybe this is the exhaustion talking... no, it's DEFINITELY the exhaustion talking. If he were more awake, he'd probably think twice about taunting the people with axes and guns. But with those dark rings under his eyes, he's really not thinking straight and is more pissed off than anything he didn't go for a bathroom break ten minutes ago like he intended to.]

But yeah sure, fine, take me out. I'm sure you'll be giving everyone else on this base a real chuckle when everyone's struggling to find out why the Transporter cooling tank isn't functioning and the whole station blows up.
