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!

Sir—As Mr. Flood has Graduated, I wish to revisit the Terms of my Deal—which is to say, I wish to know the permissible extent of a Request.

When I first came aboard the Barge, I asked for the Survival of Captain Francis Crozier and the Inuk lady Silna. If this is granted, may I also know what their Fates are?

Furthermore, is my own Disposition—where I go when I choose to depart this place—also subject to a separate Deal?

[ Not that the Admiral's answer will change Harry's decision to stay on as long as Tris is here. But the possibility has crossed his mind that merely asking for Crozier and Silna to live may not be enough. And he's also still wrestling with the question of whether or not he dares ask for more—or even for the lives of the entire expedition. Blanky's arrival has complicated this question considerably. ]

Congratulations, Doctor.

In terms of the fulfillment of your deal, Captain Francis Crozier could be saved and placed safely in reach of rescue. Lady Silna is not in any need of saving, having already survived. She has been cast out by her people for her failures. And as for your plans for your own future - when you choose to leave the Barge, you may go anywhere you like. The universe is open to you.

[ Relief over Crozier is quickly superseded by the gut-punch of Silna's fate. For a moment Harry almost can't breathe. Knowing for certain now that his future with Tris is assured is a comfort, at least, but— ]

A hypothetical Scenario: if I wished, on leaving here, to find Silna and offer the Opportunity to accompany me—am I correct in believing that this—along with any further Alterations I might consider—would require the completion of a second Deal?

If you would like me to facilitate such an encounter and translocation, then yes, it would.

Very well. I had already decided that I would remain, but I am prepared to assume the care of another Inmate as soon as you see fit. Thank you

[ He wants to ask about being granted the ability to travel across worlds himself—to answer that secret ambition that he nurses to explore not just Tris's world, but as many as he may live to see. But that seems like a lot right now. And he's still not sure he deserves it. ]
