Songbird unleashing genocide

Discussion

Hmm, during the second playthrough I noticed a thing when saving Songbird ('betraying Reed').

​

Songbird is going to hack stadium defenses via Blackwall protocol, and V asks her: ' how many people will die?' Songbird replies something akin to 'they will all die so that we can survive, both of us' .

​

Lo and behold, when you walk out of the stadium with her, there are many, many bodies on the floor with characteristic blackwall signatures, not just barghest soldiers, but bystanders, shop owners etc. The only ones left alive are pretty much some barghest units which you have to deal with on your way out.

​

Songbird wiped them all out without a second thought. I think, this is all you really need to know about her, she is not nearly as much a controversial figure as I thought of her during the first playthrough.
