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!

But she is eating something from those redemptions... from graduation.
I thought she just kind of grazed on magical energy we encountered. The floods and things like the Scar. But that wouldn't be enough for all the things you can do. That's the. The reason behind all this, isn't it. All the other ships, with their-- their other requirements.
[He sounds somewhere between horrified and resigned. It does make sense. It makes this whole process, there being a whole fleet of these ships out there, make that much more sense. All the ships, eating different kinds of energies from the changes they put their prisoners through.]
Re: Audio
Does it bother you that I use that energy?
Re: Audio
[The Barge, he means.]
And you gotta have something to recruit people with, in the deals, I get that. Not everybody's gonna come back here just because they like it.
[But that doesn't mean he's not a little distressed, thinking about the Clipper, and the stories he heard about the other ships. The Mirror Barge, even.]
But I don't know about all those other ships. Finding one good guy leading one good ship is one thing. But a whole fleet? How many of 'em are just in it for the power, адмирал?
Re: Audio
Running a ship like this isn't cheap, you know.
As for which of us are good guys....
... we all have our own perspectives. There is a place for each of them, just as you and your colleagues are not all the same.
Re: Audio
But he also can admit he's only seen or heard of five other ships total. Maybe the rest are better. And he's not really here to argue.]
I know. I know it's not cheap. I just. I guess it took me by surprise. And Yelena didn't take it well at all.
[There's a sigh, there.]
She's not taking any of this well.
Re: Audio
Do your best to reassure her, then.
Re: Audio
She kinda told me to get lost.
[He sighs a bit.]
But it's not like I can forget about her. So I'll do my best.
[There's a little pause.]
Did you know, when you brought her on board? What I was to her, in her past?
Re: Audio
I trust you to use your best judgment.

Re: Audio
Re: Audio
I was just. Curious if you thought it would be good for her. To have me here. Or bad. Or--
[He's right, though. The Admiral collects who he collects and probably doesn't think about who on board knows them.]
--I guess it isn't really important.
Re: Audio
That's why I told you I trust your judgment.
Re: Audio
But... thank you.
