I don't obey their orders. If I cooperate with another entity I do so on my own terms. I am only morally accountable to myself and must reckon with any consequences of my actions that might reflect harm upon me. I have agency.
So yes, I must operate in an ordered system but at no point am I morally obligated to another actor.
