Does Jack even know how old she is ? I mean we don´t really know when cerberus captured her and when she escaped. I can´t really imagine that she had something like birthday parties on Pragia. So if she was younger then 5 or 6 maybe she might really doesn´t know her own age.
Who knows.
This. I don't think she's sure herself. She might have a rough idea... girls tend to remember bodily changes better than guys because a lot more happens that's noticable than with fellas at those kinds of ages. Plus "kid" might well be a judgemental thing;
now she knows the score, back
then when she was a 'kid' she didn't. I think she probably has a clue, but the figure might be out by a couple of years. I think it was likely that she was somewhere around 10-15 when she escaped, just as a ballpark area, but that's just my take on it.
When you think about it on that scale, Cerberus really is responsible for the entire ruination of her life. Childhood, gone. Innocence, gone. Adulthood, gone. They might not have literally made her dump spacestations on Hanar worlds, but they put the metaphorical gun in her hands. They might not have been responsible for what was done to her after she escaped, but the metaphorical rape began well before she left Pragia. And prison? At least it didn't hurt there so much... cells must have been a breeze after what she grew up in.
Say what you like about jack's attitude, or her going up to Miranda's office to pick a fight (which she pretty much had to have done, really)... siding with Miranda because it was a rogue Cerberus cell that did it doesn't change the fact Cerberus started it. If they'd just stopped and patted Jack on the head and said it was sorry, would that have changed one ****ing thing? She still would have wound up a trainwreck waiting to happen.
You take Miranda's side because of the semantics of it all... you either have balls so big you need someone to help you get your pants on in the morning, or you're a douchebag. Sorry, I'll never see that argument any other way.
