Might makes right in this game scenario, just like many Mad MAx kind of games:
the faction who snatched MC first, the girl even gave him room and board and brought him to her leader,
the most scaling through ranks anyone in a power system ever gets - to be directly talking to the boss:
well, that boss tossed him out and scolded the girl for bringing him in.
Then in an even more obvious "what the fuck are you doing" move, he gives the walkie talkie WITH the frequency the Rats or at least kate is using, so now they can listen in on their conversations... Who does that?!!! Even If you have amnesia you should know they're opposing factions. Best answer would have been "no walkie talkie" and have them give you a second one
What is MC supposed to do? Die?
Exactly like Mad MAx - MC has to find friends/allies/mates/connections through the foes,
he has to find some alliance to be prottected, that is as much as the redhead recruiter told him:
MC did not accept to be just a side piece of that girl, especially while her boss openly dissed him and
even told everyone in his organisation they will not work with MC - which means the girl is in direct contradiction
with her boss when she enlists MC to do her bidding:
if her boss decides to make any example outta them or her, MC is toast.
MC then goes to try his luck with his other friend, looking for a permanent affialiation,
one that would not paint a target on his back - the girl who patched him up and as far as he is concirned
was at that time the only human resembling a professional caregiver from his days in the civilised world - a doctor.
This is how MC ends up with the Govnor - putting the knowledge the redhead rectruiter gave him to good use:
you need a faction to give you a job, or at least accept your affiliation to them.
She tried to provide that with her organisation- but her boss said - nobody from my outfit will hire MC!
MC went to the doctor who did not want to take MC in either, she sent MC to the power broker,
the equal opportunity employer of scum willing to get down and dirty for the excuse to survive.
MC is canonically distrusting in his mind, whatever dialogue choices you choose to give him:
he is reluctant and with good measure - the employers are also feeding him scraps of information
for measly jobs where MC is none the wiser about what his skills are supposed to be in this or that mission.
We should enjoy the ride, the plot has yet to give MC any reins of his fate.
