[Private - Rex]

Rex, I would like to know if your currently level of maturity has dropped, because apparently this flood makes that possible. Even for you.

[Are you a kid, Rex?]

If not, I should make it clear that asking inmates and wardens afflicted by this flood questions about their lives, pasts and budding personality disorders is not appropriate behavior. Furthermore, please refrain from doing any experiments on them. This includes social experiments.


[Public]

To our new guests, if you find any keys in your possession could you please give them to an adult warden?

[Children with keys that access to lab, infirmary or engine room? What could possibly go wrong.]

[requiresssacrifice]

I wouldn't perform experiments on children. [Lol he probably would, lbr.]

[doctor_j_crane]

Not even children who aren't really children, just your enemies in a weakened state?

[Lol Crane has totally done most of the stuff in the post in the past.]

[requiresssacrifice]

My enemies? You're not affected.

[doctor_j_crane]

What a comforting sentiment. [A pause.] You know, it's your hostility that's making this such a difficult situation.

[Yep, that's what Crane's going with. Really. :v]

[requiresssacrifice]

You're a warden now. It's part of the job description. Or did you think it would be easy to get your deal?

[doctor_j_crane]

I didn't imagine that getting my deal would be easy. The Admiral never makes anything easy, which is the only explanation we have for our current situation.

WHOOPS this is all private

[requiresssacrifice]

Mmhm.

Your deal must be very important to you, to keep you here.

[Private] Oop yes, no one can see the above.

[doctor_j_crane]

Deals typically are. [Crane avoiding more detail right there? Yep.] The barge isn't exactly somewhere you choose to go to for a holiday.

[Private]

[requiresssacrifice]

Of course. [He smiles.] Do you actually have a game plan here, or are you hoping that I'll wear down and cooperate with time?

[Private]

[doctor_j_crane]

The latter. You'll eventually realize that attempting to resist the barge system is pointless.

[Private]

[requiresssacrifice]

You underestimate how patient I can be. Why should I let you win your deal off of my work towards redemption? Convince me, and I might start cooperating.

[Private]

[doctor_j_crane]

The fact that you'd win your freedom by graduating isn't reason enough to go along with the barge system?

[Private]

[requiresssacrifice]

Oh, it's tempting. But I didn't graduate under better wardens, so I don't see why I should let you succeed where they failed.

[Private]

[doctor_j_crane]

By all means, continue to imprison yourself on the barge simply to spite me. I'm sure that it'll be worth it.

[Private]

[requiresssacrifice]

As long as we're paired together, you're imprisoned as well. I doubt you're enjoying yourself here very much.

[Private]

[doctor_j_crane]

I was on the barge for two years and then back at home for eight before making my deal. I don't mind waiting a few years more.

[Private]

[requiresssacrifice]

Neither do I.

So, what should I expect from you as my warden? More random imprisonment?

[Private]

[doctor_j_crane]

No, you shouldn't. You'll only be placed in zero if I believe that you're a risk to yourself or others.

[Private]

[requiresssacrifice]

That's... reasonable. Was this always your plan, or did the other wardens push you to it?

[Private]

[doctor_j_crane]

It was always my plan. Given that your room, which I checked while you were in zero, could have had dangerous contraband in it, I believed that you could have harmed others.

Regarding any negative feedback towards me that you may have heard, wardens on board do not have an understanding of why preventative action is a useful thing.

[Private]

[requiresssacrifice]

Mm. Well, no contraband here, as you know. [Not for lack of trying. He's been disappointed to find that the Barge on the whole is a lot more secure than it was in his last time here.] I take it room searches will be a regular thing.

[Private]

[doctor_j_crane]

Yes, I'm assuming that you've found other places around the barge to hide whatever it is that you're building. [Crane is paranoid enough to assume that there has to be a plan in motion.]

I will be searching your room semi-regularly, although telling you just how regularly would defeat the purpose.

[Private]

[requiresssacrifice]

Fair enough.

What do you think I'm building? [The honest answer is "NOTHING SOB SOB SOB BAWWWW".]

[Private]

[doctor_j_crane]

A machine to crash the barge again, I imagine.

[Private]

[requiresssacrifice]

I'm not stupid enough to go for a repeat performance. It obviously didn't work the first time.
