[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.]

Leaving the Barge won't make it disappear.

[itstopped]

So you're planning on taking it down from the inside?

[burnmythoughts]

I don't think that would work. [Not "that would be wrong". Not "that would be dangerous".] The Admiral isn't just powerful, he's a mystery, and we're in his playground.

But there are those of us who are here because he dragged us here, and those of us who choose to work for him. Or to... play.

[burnmythoughts]

Yeah, and that's not fair. But if I just up and left, you'd still be here. That's not... [Jean shakes her head.] I can't change the Barge but I can try to make things better.

[itstopped]

Hm. [He flashes a quick, skeptical smile.] Do you have an inmate?

[burnmythoughts]

I do, yeah.

[itstopped]

For how long?

[burnmythoughts]

[Her gaze drops.]

I had Xen for five months before she disappeared.

[When she raises her eyes there's a solemn determination in them.]

I've had Jason for about a month.
