I really like this:

What’s the motivation of our factions? On the Ark, the refugee Guests live in cramped and crowded slums. They’ve been taken in by the Ark’s Founders, but their initial relief and gratitude has turned to resentment and anger at their unequal status. They’re doing most of the work to keep the Ark afloat, but are on restricted water rations while the Founders – who don’t contribute that much to the running of things – live in relative plenty. Increasingly the Guests are coming to doubt the Founders’ claims that all contact with the outside world has been lost, and are agitating to use the Ark’s remaining resources to find help. Some of them organize into the armed Resistance. At the other extreme, the original corporate police force has had to expand to become Security, the ones who maintain order and manage the Ark’s resources so that all can survive. Security fight to save the Ark. The Resistance fight to escape it. And looking around the place, it’s not hard to see why both sides believe they’re right.

Both teams are a lower class, trying to make the best of it. Neither have much faith in the ark ‘elite’. I like that better than the security being the elite, which is what I thought at first.

But Darthmob has a piont, I’m sure I’ve read at least parts of this before.

I also like the different grades of ideology within both factions. Some within the resistance see it as a humanitarian crisis while others are just downright fascists, same with the resistance, radical terrorists and people simply trying to live.
