029 + MY LORD KNOWETH THAT THE CHILDREN ARE TENDER [VIDEO]

[trenchcoatedly]

That was strange. Usually such circumstances start floods, though I sense nothing wrong. Can any of the engineering individuals confirm there are no serious mechanical flaws that can be seen at this time?

[PRIVATE to LIA]

I'd like to speak to you at your earliest convenience. I have a favor of some importance I would like to ask of you.

[PRIVATE to LISBETH]

I did not write these guidelines but found them to be clear and concise. If you would like to change the nature of our relationship, or find anything about my wardenship unfair or my treatment of you unworthy, I urge you to make this known to me and any other wardens you desire to tell.

In the context of the barge, I am a civil servant hired to be your personal representative for your time here. I know that regardless of your crimes, you didn't go to trial, were convicted in absentia, and understand that your circumstances were extremely unpleasant. I understand fully the reasons and actions of why you have done what you did in many cases.

My duties to you, as your warden, are as follows:
• to provide you with protection against hostilities from other inmates and wardens;
• to protect other inmates and wardens from any damage you may intentionally or unintentionally inflict;
• to provide you with a constructive environment so long as it doesn't violate the personal welfare of yourself or others;
• to ensure that you have life skills to sustain yourself after graduation;
• to generally be observant of your physical and mental well-being;
• to act as a representative when addressing other wardens and the Admiral concerning your health, safety, comfort, and productivity;
• to judge your actions fairly administer punishment as it is deserved and not in excess of your actions.

I feel I should tell you now that, while I am an angel and a servant of the Heavenly Father, I will not proselytize His words or attempt to convert you, nor do I imagine that will be a requirement of your graduation. However, I request that if you do not openly blaspheme His name in my presence. Keep in mind, additionally, that in circumstances where I am sensible and able - possibly excluding many floods or ports - I will never lie to you.

Also, if you would prefer me to call you Wasp, I'm more than capable of doing so.

Some bullshit is going to happen. Maybe not now, but at some point. This place doesn't glitch.

Re: Public

[trenchcoatedly]

Likely.

[routemistress]

What 'e said. 'Ello Riddick love. Me operation scar's itching an' that always means shenanigans.

Re: Public

[trenchcoatedly]

Your scar is sensitive to dimensional and quantum anomalies?

Re: Public (srsly, this is Iris canon)

[routemistress]

...Well, it's more like I am, Castiel pet. The scar's just me body's way of makin' sure I don't miss a cue.

Re: Public (srsly, this is Iris canon)

[trenchcoatedly]

That's a fascinating physiological response. How is your scar tissue different from standard dermal tissue?

Re: Public

[routemistress]

It's 'ad to grow 'arder. Makes a concentrated spot of artron energy. Funny it should come up now, I've been thinkin' a lot about the fractal landscapes of scarring an' regeneration lately.

[If her inmate would only let her hook him up to the bioreader. SO FRUSTRATING.]

Public

[with_my_teacup]

Heard you got ghosted during the flood.

[What with your announcement and everything.]

Re: Public

[routemistress]

Aye, me inmate's ex took exception to 'im spending time with me, poor pet. It 'appens, eh?

Public

[with_my_teacup]

New one on me, but then, my ex-warden's wife wasn't a real violent type.

You take death well. [Time lords. Sigh. Nothing personal, he just feels uneasy around people who come back from the dead.]

Re: Public

[routemistress]

[She shrugs.]

Well, I could live without the aches an' stuff, but aye; don't seem worth a fuss otherwise.

I wish I could've got through to 'er a bit, though. I liked 'er.

[je_suis_avec_toi]

Of course, Castiel. What can I do for you?

Re: [private] [video]

[trenchcoatedly]

Please come see me in my room at your earliest convenience.

[private] [video]

[je_suis_avec_toi]

I can come now.

Is there anything wrong?

Re: [private] [video]

[trenchcoatedly]

No, nothing is wrong.

[private] [video] spam or log?

[je_suis_avec_toi]

I'll be right there then.

[breakingmyheart]

The engine room is in full working order. Nothing to report there.

[trenchcoatedly]

Thank you.

Lisbeth is fine

has the admiral communicated further to the wardens about the blackout?

text

[trenchcoatedly]

If the Admiral released any additional information regarding the blackout, I have not seen nor heard it.

[dr4gontatt00]

[A few minutes pause.]

I assume you've read my file.

Re: text

[trenchcoatedly]

Yes. You're free to have it if you'd like.

Re: text

[dr4gontatt00]

[...She's honestly surprised he offered like that. She assumed she'd have to jump through hoops or attempt to play nice, but. No, this is good.]

I would.

[demon_knight]

So the ship power doesn't do that often?

Sorta makes me uneasy when we're out in space and all. Or wherever this is. [Between space?]

[trenchcoatedly]

While I have no information to back this up, my suspicion is that the conditions that make this pocket of extra-dimensional space livable do not depend exclusively on any specific source of barge power.
