I'm back, so certain people can stop celebrating. [Ah, paranoia. Crane sounds pretty bad. The wonders of death toll. You may notice that he's trying a bit too hard to be casual.] I hadn't died since September and I hadn't died outside of a port. I suppose I'll have to start my count again of how many days it's been. How disappointing.

[Private - Hayley]

I might be here for another day or so. I assume that you can feed my spiders?

[Private - Marquis]

Did Iago offer you any explanation in particular for what he did?

[Added later - Infirmary filter, minus Rex]

I refuse to let Rex have anything to do with my treatment. We've got far too much negative history. I'm not doubting his skills, but surely some of you can see that it isn't a positive situation to put either of us in?

[OOC: Crane's chilling in the infirmary, being generally mopey. Feel free to throw up spam threads.]

As much as people here like to say that we don't age, some measure of time must pass here. The plants in the garden still grow and the passing of time seems to affect animals.

[Have a shot of spider babies, people. Crane's spiders made glorious offspring. I'll spare you guys a picture, but just imagine tiny spiders amongst the adult ones in the tank. The tiny spiders are moving around pretty quickly.]

They might start to consume each other at any moment. You can imagine the primal fear going through the newborns. Even at the earliest stages of life, they acknowledge the mortal peril that the large spiders could inflict on them at any moment. Consumption, for no better reason than a whim considering the food that the tank provides for them.

[Crane pauses, leaving the video shot on the tank. One of the big spiders is moving towards some of the younger ones.] Just think, this must be what we look like to the Admiral.

[Private - Eddie (added later)]

Riddle solved. Kay, Narvin, Cooper and Washington. [Kay told him so.]

[Crane's sitting at his desk, playing with one of his pet spiders. He's letting it run from one hand to the other. It's a pretty big spider.]

It appears the Admiral has been sufficiently amused. Enough to give us all our furniture back with all the trimmings, in any case. We probably weren't on track for our weekly flood, so he decided to make one for us. [Crane looks unamused. He didn't like the power being out.] It makes one wonder if all the effort that some lab staff put into researching such things is a complete waste of time.

[Inmate Filter + Edward Nygma (honorary inmate)]

Given my own current interim warden situation, I've become rather curious about a certain issue. If you could have any warden on board as your personal warden, who would you prefer? It seems difficult to weigh up the different benefits of the clever and the stupid, and of course whether it's better to have a warden with far too many powers or with none.

[OOC: Sorry for not adding this earlier, guys. The spider that Crane's playing with, based on the log where it first appeared, is a Huntsman Spider (from a log played by Australians? No wai!). The other two in the tank have never had their species stated, but one is smaller than the one Crane's playing with. :D]

[Crane is sitting at his desk, and is looking at a rather large spider that is currently walking up his arm.] It's fantastic to know that there's such a wonderful system for dealing with emergencies on the barge. I was under the impression that when someone demonstrated uncontrollable powers people might be inclined to follow a procedure to contain them, rather then standing around and brainstorming.

[Have a moment of quiet seething, while Crane takes the spider off his shoulder and lets it start crawling around on the table.]

This flood is also ridiculous. I fail to understand how having leaves falling on the deck is designed to make us 'better' people. If anything, it would just encourage anyone with a lighter to make a bonfire. Books from the library would make good fuel, wouldn't they? [Nope, totally not encouraging other inmates to do bad things. Definitely not.]

[Inmate filter]

If anyone does decide to do that, at the very least stick to some useless romantic fiction books.

[Private - Eddie]

[Oh look, Crane put his spider back in the tank while he's talking to Eddie.] I'm assuming that you're either dead or have had your powers contained. If you are hypothetically alive, can I have the key to your room? I need to use your equipment.

[Added later - Private - Ms Rose]

Would you be able to take Nygma some of his books to zero? My warden is unlikely to take me down there. Apparently Nygma's fine, but bored. He also requested painkillers.

[OCC: Crane is flood affected, and for the new people the spiders are his pets. They come from the broom cupboard. It's a beautiful story.]

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.
