Joan (Video Game)

"The real question is how could I not? What would happen to us without your fertilizer, Clint? Or your pills, Paul? Do you think our community would survive? I did what I had to, to ensure that we would. It wasn't easy... (...) I took the hard decisions on myself. All of you remember the winter -- how much we lost. Friends. Lovers. Children. I made a promise -- I would never let that happen again. The raids were just to keep us going, 'til Richmond reach sustainability. We're so close. So close to our dream. Do we really want to risk it all by fighting amongst ourselves? We should all be on the same side of this, David. On Richmond's side. Surely you can see that?"

- Joan confirming she was behind the raids. (Determinant)
