[David's about six months into his stay on the Barge and he's... frankly unimpressed. And a little bored. And a little annoyed with certain developments, so long as we're being totally honest, and after having a while to sit on it and think over the issue, he's turning on his communicator.]

In the past few months, two wardens have been demoted, [And both of them wardened people with his face, which is. Just weird. But there have been stranger freak coincidences in their lives, so.] and I've found myself wondering: why is it that inmates are subjected to such heavy questioning and scrutiny when they first arrive, and afterward, while wardens are almost automatically afforded a certain amount of trust by their peers?

Obviously, for the most part, it would seem that that trust hasn't been misplaced, but two demotions is still less than reassuring. Why should one put trust in any warden when they, too, have the potential to become an inmate?

I'm simply curious.

[Maybe.]

No. Wardens have power over inmates. Too much. Completely different thing, and David's right about that.

I'm not saying they're equal, but they are related. If a warden and his inmate don't trust each other, they won't get anywhere.

Good. [It's bad enough wardens trying to justify themselves, without putting the burden on their inmates.]

That still falls to the warden, though.

Anybody who expects an inmate to trust his warden right away, just like that -

[Is deluded. But, nope. Pausing to collect himself.]

Every single one of you has been kidnapped. I wouldn't trust anybody in your position.

[Oh, good, a warden who seems to Get It.]

And not every inmate is interested in graduation, besides.

[tolaywaste]

I know.

I'd like it if there were other options, frankly, but at this point I don't see them.
