[49] - [Video, Public]

[doctor_j_crane]

[There's just the video posting footage, with no lead in or explanation at all. The angle is fairly steady, and you can make out the fact that it's the inmate showers. The very first shot is of Perry Dawsey hitting Rex in the face, before wrenching off Rex's ventilator because it's getting in the way. There's a fair bit of noise. Perry is yelling as he hits Rex.]

"You like that? You fucking like that? How does it feel?"

[You can clearly see Rex struggling, trying to get the ventilator back, before Perry kicks it away. Perry punches Rex a few more times. It's fairly obvious that Rex stops struggling. Then, after all that drama lama, Crane points the video away. You get a few shots of the floor as Crane quickly walks to the door.]

[The angle jerks up as Crane runs into someone. Why, it's Eddie Brock. Who looks more than a little bit surprised.]

"What the hell?" [You so shrill, Eddie.]

[Crane's pretty quick off the mark in replying.]

Everything went according to your plan. You should be happy that it went so well. [Crane says, before the camera angle tilts and he walks past Eddie. The camera feed cuts out.]

[And cuts back in, with a reasonably obvious time skip. Crane's standing in a different corridor, angling the camera at himself.] Well, I think everyone can feel better about the whole nanomite situation. Let it not be said that just because the wardens aren't prepared to fix a situation, there aren't other members of the barge willing to step up to the plate.

[And end video post.]

Incorrect. I didn't do anything wrong. I was just there. I provided the wardens with evidence of Perry Dawsey's wrongdoings. You should all be thanking me.

[boughtitall.livejournal.com]

You are an accomplice to murder, Doctor. You had every opportunity to prevent it. I am surprised, I thought you were more the sort to run to your warden at the first sign of trouble.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Apparently you were wrong, Saito. And for the record, I imagine Dawsey would have killed me if I attempted to alert the wardens. So really, filming this is almost self defense. [Crane doesn't actually believe this, but hey.]

[boughtitall.livejournal.com]

You should learn to run faster.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

If this video proves anything, it's that Rex should learn to run faster.

[boughtitall.livejournal.com]

Wonderful to see you making light of such a death.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Rest assured, Rex will be back to his insane, rambling self within a week.

[boughtitall.livejournal.com]

And yet the intent behind the killing remains the same.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Dawsey wanted revenge. Who can blame him?

[boughtitall.livejournal.com]

Did he invite you to watch or did you just happen to catch him heading there?

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

The latter. Dawsey and I aren't normally on the best of terms.

[boughtitall.livejournal.com]

Joining forces against a common enemy, hm?

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Rex is the enemy of the barge, not just of Dawsey and myself.

[boughtitall.livejournal.com]

He is not my enemy. He is not the enemy of others.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

He is. The nanomites ensured that.

[boughtitall.livejournal.com]

No. They ensured only a childish revenge act from those like you.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

It was Dawsey's act of revenge. I just recorded it for prosperity.

[boughtitall.livejournal.com]

That makes it all better.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

It's not the same as killing Rex myself.

[boughtitall.livejournal.com]

Do you even have the capabilities to do such?

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Rex wouldn't be hard to kill. You could just steal his ventilator at breakfast if you choose too.

[boughtitall.livejournal.com]

Charming.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

It's a fact.

[boughtitall.livejournal.com]

Tell me, do you truly not see your mistake in all of this, or do you just think ignorance will work?

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Can you honestly tell me that you think Rex didn't deserve what happened?
