[Crane’s holding the device up, and you can see from the wall behind him that he’s in zero.]

I don’t see why you’re all taking this so personally. It isn’t that different from one of your little floods, is it? And it’s not like the lot of you didn’t have it coming.

[Crane shrugs, as if to say ‘my bad’.]

Have fun with the cleanup. I’m sure there will be lots of exciting things to find around the barge.

[Crane gives the camera a bit of a grin, then moves the device away to turn it off. You can still see for a second that he doesn't look as cheerful as his tone would indicate.]

[Whoops, Crane’s in zero (brought down by Sam Tyler) and still a little bit high from the fear gas. He’s decided that he doesn’t really care if other people know he caused it because he reckons the information will get around anyway. He also doesn’t know that Ms Rose is alive yet either. I’m also open for a spam with any wardens coming down to visit him or other cool cats in zero. And this post is dated to around Sunday evening.]

The Admiral's conflicts allow for retaliation. You needlessly made m-- people succumb to their worst fears without that option.

Are you bitter that you haven't had the chance to retaliate yourself?

[Going to ignore that question.]

Are you trying to convince me of your sadism?

I'm not sadistic. I do what needs to be done.

On that note, I notice that you haven't announced your role in the whole fiasco to the other wardens.

It wasn't needed.

[A falter.] They haven't yet asked, and they probably won't think to.

They'll all assume that I got the equipment out of nowhere.

[Crane stops, thinking on this for a long second.]

I won't tell them if you don't.

It wouldn't make much of a difference. [But he doesn't sound sure of that.]

I'll say I had it with me, then got rid of it so they wouldn't know my methods. Threw it off the side of the barge. Unless you want me to tell them the truth?

Stick to your story.

I will. It's for the best. The Joker doesn't need to know more than he already does.

You're in Zero with him, aren't you?

Yes. He just sits there laughing, which goes well with Judas's persistent sobbing.

The perfect atmosphere for you two to get better acquainted.

I suppose we can share a few stories about you.

He wouldn't have anything of interest to say on the matter.

Perhaps not. I may have things to say to him, though. Unless you do me a favor.

Pardon?

You seem to have some serious misconceptions about the leverage you have over me, scarce as it is. Allow me to clear it up for you: no, I won't be doing you a favor, nor will I be doing you any favors in the future. All you have to tell the Joker are riddles, and unless you're aware of the answers, they're useless to both him and you.

I'm sure the Joker will be able to make use of even the smallest amount of information handed to him.

I'm not asking you for the world, either. I just want you to check on Ms Rose. To see if she's... all right. [Crane looks incredibly uncomfortable.]

Given the right tidbit, perhaps, but he won't be able to act on it.

[Enjoying that uncomfortable Crane.] Sweet of you, really. Is she the mother you never had?

[Behold, shocked Crane.] No! Of course not. Why do you people have to put implications onto everything?

Hit a nerve, have I? Perhaps she would take it as a compliment.

You did not hit a nerve. It's the principle of the thing.

Is that why you sound so disgruntled? You're a terrible liar, Jon.

Go to hell, Nygma. [Angry Crane is angry.]
