ADMIRAL REQUESTS
New Admiral Request Page Found Here

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!

No, I... I know. You care about us. She does, too.

[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?

I can't speak for all my colleagues, but I doubt it's about the power for any of us, Зайчик. The power allows us to continue doing what we do: we give you the opportunity to change.

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.

[B is, at heart, an optimist. But he's also seen a whole lot of really rotten people in positions of power. He's just not able to believe that everyone running a ship has the best interests of their passengers in mind. Especially not when one of them chops off body parts in response to transgressions, and another spies on people for the rest of their lives...

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.

[Muttered] So few of you do.

Do your best to reassure her, then.

[Well, you do kind of kidnap people, often people who are trouble-makers in their own right and who don't take kindly to authority...]

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?

I take in passengers as I can, dear.

I trust you to use your best judgment.

That didn't answer my question, адмирал.

[a put-upon sigh] Does it matter to you whether I knew? I would have taken her on regardless.

Oh no, god, no. That's not what I meant at all. I want Yelena to have all the chances in the world. I'm glad she's here if the alternative is she's dead.

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.

It is important, Зайчик. But whether you are good or bad for her isn't something I control.

That's why I told you I trust your judgment.

Not sure if that's a great idea, really.

But... thank you.
