I have a specimen that I think has lived in a bucket for a little too long. I would like a proper enclosure for it. Admiral, it can be plastic if you don't think I can be trusted with glass. [Crane sounds thoroughly unimpressed by this. He's referring to a non poisonous huntsman spider, that appeared in a Rom Com cupboard with Eddie and himself.]

[Crane pauses before continuing.] I'm rather surprised that the murder in the garden was handled so well. Was it because the culprit was reasonably obvious or due to actual police work?

[Private - Rose]

The garden is less quiet than I would have expected. I trust that you weren't affected by the recent events?

[Private - Hayley]

I want to show you some instructions. I need to know if you're capable of performing them.

One would be surprised. A particular doctor could have been accused of dosing her with something, explaining her insane reaction.

What doctor? [Ray actually hasn't properly met Crane yet. He's probably seen him in passing, but he doesn't know his name. Or title. Or reason for being an inmate.]

[1/2] - GOSH Crane thinks that everyone should know him.

It was a hypothetical example.

[. . .] Right. And if I find a guy standing over a dead body with a smoking gun in his hand, I'm gonna go look for the aliens who're manipulating the mind rays that made him do it. [This isn't the Twilight Zone, buddy. Except of course it is, but, y'know. Barge newb.]

Well, the obvious solution is always the right one, isn't it?

[imjustpretty.livejournal.com]

No. Not always. But that's why we've got this thing called chain of evidence. [. . .] Or, well. Should have.

I was engaging in a little thing called sarcasm. You may be unfamiliar with the concept.

Good luck following your chain of evidence with the bizarre things that occur here.

[imjustpretty.livejournal.com]

And you might be unfamiliar with the concept of conducing a proper crime scene investigation in order to build a solid case. Wouldn't surprise me; seems like that concept is generally an unfamiliar one here on this boat.

Bizarre things like what, for example?

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Considering the amount of time I spent sitting through various criminal cases and appearing as an expert witness, I do have some experience in the area.

You might want to ask someone, a warden, to show you. It's too ridiculous to explain any other way.
