They use this phrase as a way to greet each other, and it also serves as a marketing tool for the series. Although the Fireflies are considered dangerous, they are shown to be gaining power and influence within the post-apocalyptic world.
What are the goals of the fireflies?
In the series, the Fireflies are depicted as having a common goal, but with their factions scattered, they struggle to maintain power. Marlene has a history with Ellie's mother, which is hinted at in the series, and Ellie will later go on to become an important member of the Fireflies.
In the original video game, the Fireflies are depicted as the main antagonists, and their goal is to find a cure for the Cordyceps infection that has ravaged the world. However, their methods of achieving this goal make them complicated characters. In the series, it's suggested that the Fireflies are losing ground and support in their war against FEDRA's martial law, and their insignia is being painted over, indicating a loss of popularity.
However, the Fireflies are still the primary force in the search for a cure, and they will play an important role in the first season of The Last of Us. Other opposition forces, such as the Washington Liberation Front, are expected to appear in future seasons.
