[Private to the Admiral]

[Jean's gaze is carefully even, her voice steady and strong. She's clearly been practising.]

Admiral? I'd like to ask a few questions.

First, I'd like to know more about the system here. Are you accountable to anyone else? Is there any process in place to prevent or correct possible errors?

Second, is there any way for inmates to appeal their term here?

Third - I realise I'm not Daro'Xen's Warden, but she has no one else to speak for her. I'd like to know why she's been taken as an Inmate.

[Warden Filter]

I'd like to know everyone's position on Inmates having their abilities suppressed.

[Public]

[A bit later on, here is a distinctly irritated Jean, holding a gingerbread Barge.]

I bet the Admiral thinks he's cute, doesn't he.

Nope.

I'm sorry, Admiral.

...Would you like some gingerbread?

Food suitable for your species is not considered... Edible for my own. Without boring you with the details, our biochemistry is incompatible. You willingness to provide assistance is, however, appreciated.

Perhaps it is I who should be showing a degree of sympathy for your new employment arrangements.

Got it.

Very little about this place would be, I'd imagine.

You'd be right.

At least I got a choice, though.

Um - I know I'm not your Warden, but if you need anything...

I...

[Empathy from a human? What is this witchcraft?!]

Thank you. You are not what I have come to typically expect from your species. It's most refreshing. Tell me, can you grant laboratory access...?

[A soft smile.] I'm glad I can give you a better example.

I can try. If not, maybe I can get you some equipment to work with.

[Oh... Goody.]

That would be most welcome, yes... Most welcome, indeed. We may be on opposite sides of the proverbial divide, but I see no reason we cannot help one another. Perhaps there is there is something I can do in return? Equipment you need upgrading?
