What should Curly have done in regards of what Jimmy did to Anya?

[guigameplayer]

Sorry if i ccome of as ignorant but i'm unaware of how to go about such a situation in Curlys position, what proper course of action should he have done?

[broly weed]

I feel like the intention of the story is to make it difficult to wrap your head around how to deal with it. The game mentions that only the cockpit and medbay lock, so even if they wanted to do something about jimmy they would lose something essential.

[rhabdophobia]

well what he does in-game is promise anya he's going to confront jimmy, and then instead he has a friendly conversation with him that leads to them both agreeing to crash the ship with the intention of killing everyone on board. so probably anything except what he did.

[MURDER BEAR ESPORTS]

So in this situation the captain is vested with the power to use force to subdue crew members who commit acts of violence against other crew members. Rape does not carry a death penalty in most jurisdictions so it doesn't make sense to use the gun on him, but in a makeshift capacity they can either use the rope to restrain him as a makeshift brig, or quarantine both the perpetrator and victim to different portions of the ship until they return to Earth.

At the very least however, Curly should have PREVENTED JIMMY FROM HAVING ACCESS TO THE COCKPIT

He should have tried to have them get together and talk it out.

why? jimmy is clearly the aggressor regardless of how you feel about their relationship, he spends the entire game verbally abusing and belittling her. he won't even listen to curly and he likes curly (or at least claims to), why would he listen to anything anya has to say? all you would be doing is forcing her into a room with a man who hates her and another man who's too complacent to do anything about it.

if he would've then there would be more clarity on the situation.

not really. again, jimmy is constantly verbally abusing and belittling her, he's not going to be honest or genuine about his issues with her (considering he's not honest or genuine about his issues with literally anyone) and anya is too afraid of him to speak up while he's around. you wouldn't get any further information than jimmy really hates anya and anya is scared of him, which we already know. especially considering curly is, again, too complacent to do anything about it.

you dont know that for certain.

How would Curly even gather evidence with which to confront Jimmy? Or should he just have taken Anya's word for it?

curly had already made this decision in-game, he decided to take anya's word for it and he was going to confront jimmy. he didn't follow through however, and instead ended up talking with jimmy about crashing the ship and killing everyone on board, which he ultimately agreed to.

Curly's conversation with him was the same a cop would give a suspect to coerce a confession and pacify them into a false sense of security, they were talking about the incident with Anya. They never had a genuinely friendly dialogue about it and they definitely never decided on killing everyone, that's something Jimmy decided on his own because he saw through the "it'll be okay" good cop act and realized his life was over no matter what Curly said. Open interpretation in analysis is encouraged in art but this is a misunderstanding of the events themselves.

"Or this can all be remembered as a tragedy. Despite what must have been the best efforts of its acclaimed captain. The Tulpar Crew was never found. No one survived the tell the tale."

very little room for ambiguity here, what jimmy is implying/suggesting here is very clear. curly makes no attempt to fight it, looks jimmy in the eye, and lets him walk into the cockpit after jimmy says he'll "take care of it". either curly is an idiot or he's deliberately allowing jimmy to make an attempt on everyone's lives here.

[jra.470]

The answer is clear my friend. BANG BANG bye bye Jimmy, If they were questioned for killing him Curly could plead self defense and they'd believe him because Curly has a good reputation, is the only one who could've done it, and is Jimmy's best friend, so he wouldn't do it without a good reason.

Jimmy was not essential for a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing. He got the job out of pity. As far as needing a copilot, yeah I'd say protecting a rape victim should be a little more important than that. Curly could've slept in the cockpit.

The more I think about it the more I realize that Curly and Jimmy deserve each other, they're both irresponsible cowards and Curly got what he deserved.

[The Call That Saved Gimnasia]

the most logical solution was involving daisuke and swansea and putting jimmy in one of the cryopods but that requires curly to act out of character

[[GL]daGnome]

Heard it from one of the YT video.... his suggestions was maybe allowing Anya to sleep in med room so she could locked it. Or maybe lock Jimmy in cargo bay as makeshift jail at least for awhile.

I didn't think Curly's solution was just to "Talk" it over, but things just happened too fast before he could even do anything. Maybe as captain, he's required to make immediate decision and we're seeing the consequences of hesitation.
