Mandrell's Followers

cowardly pragmatic self-preserving silent under pressure

These followers form Mandrell's faction within the Undercity rebel network, unified only by shared distrust of the Correction Centre's authority. They embody the cost of prolonged oppression, prioritizing self-preservation over solidarity. Their silence in Leela's face reflects an institutionalized fear that has calcified into passive refusal—willing to abandon both principles and comrades when confronting immediate danger. Reluctant participants in the rebellion's decline, they reveal how institutional cowardice erodes collective defiance.
