All right, all right. Having glanced over his research, Doctor Pines is overstating the certainty of his results and oversimplifying the breach process. Ask Doctor Pines whether his model predicts whether the breach world has infiltrated the barge, or the barge world infiltrated the breach. Ask whether he's able to track the long term changes, distinguishing between those two cases. Although he's correct the realities we experience, are broadly speaking, 'real,' the barge's relationship with time, space, and permanency isn't nearly as linear as he describes.

In general I can promise you that never in the history of my Admiralcy have you all managed to cause an apocalypse. Since this is one of those weeks where we're all on a moral crusade about the harm the barge is doing, let me point out the only certain damage you've done has been in ports. Of course, solving that would require the wardens to all actually take responsibility for inmates and focus on doing their jobs, which I realize is a tremendous ask.
