TLV - Admiral Requests
Post your requests to the Admiral below (and also a note if you would specifically like that request to be rejected), and we will get to them in a timely manner. All Admiral requests (with the exception of Inmate resurrections) must go through this post, and their approval cannot be handwaved. Additionally, requests will only be granted to Wardens.
Unless otherwise specifically noted, all threads on this post are considered to be Private.
Though the Barge does not speak in any traditional way and is not reachable by communicator, it is sentient, and characters occasionally reach out to it via tapping on walls in Morse Code, spelling out messages in alphabet-letter fridge magnets, and other creative methods; if your character decides to try this, those messages may be dropped here as well!

Sometimes, what a drowning man needs is a hand that will not let them go. Sometimes, a person who has never been cared for needs to be cared for above all others, in their worst moments. And certainly, all of you need better...more personal understanding than either I or a committee could provide.
Exactly how that care is expressed, and how it is - or isn't - balanced with the needs of the community, well.
As you say, it's all of yours to work through.
If I had an infinite supply of perfect altruists - well, I probably still wouldn't hire only them, because more inmates than not would hate them all on sight. But regardless, I don't. I try to connect people who can offer what someone needs. I use the system of pairings because it works, love. I can't claim to be perfect at it. Rescue is a messy business, and I still don't always understand you all as well as I'd like.
There have been smaller changes, over the years. Part of the impetus behind temporary pairings concerned just that situation - when a perpetrator has a strong advocate, and unpaired victim only haphazard allies or none. I know it's hardly perfect either, but it improves on what came before.
If you come up with suggestions in that vein, Mister Caffrey, know I will hear them.
