[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.]

A little selfish, yeah. [She has no problem admitting that. She wants her deal.] But I also think it would be plain irresponsible to just ignore the fact that a place like this exists.

[Private to Felix]

[A slight, dark smirk.] Besides, no one is infallible.

[itstopped]

Irresponsible to whom?

[Private]

The Admiral appears to be very fallible. Just not in ways that are especially helpful to anyone here.

[bodilesswarrior]

To the people who can't just leave.

[Private]

Not yet.

[itstopped]

[If it were almost any other warden, he'd make a much snarkier comment here... but the truth is, she's probably right, because he doesn't want her to leave him here.]

So you'd be here without a deal.

[Private]

And if you get some kind of opportunity? [He pauses.] ...Bearing in mind that the Admiral can probably hear us right now.

[bodilesswarrior]

[Barbara considers that. She'd told Cassel her deal was the most important thing, and that's true, but if it had never been a factor? If she'd known what people were going through here?]

I could leave, when I graduate Davros. [When. She doesn't deal in "ifs".] When I get my deal. But I'm not going to.

[Private]

I don't want to stage a mutiny. [Her lips quirk, but it's not a smile. She remembers what her other self had planned, her callous disregard for others' safety.] I want leverage.
