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!

[She's only asking it out of habit; it's clear that she's going to go through with it anyway.]
Thanks.
[Then:]
... You won't need me to tell you to know what the results are, will you?
[Will you be watching, is what she means.]

Let me put it this way, petal. You need a very different sort of radio to contact your friend across town, than you do to contact Mars from Earth. But radio can do it, theoretically. Depending on where the planets are in their orbits, the signal lag might be as little three minutes, or as much as twenty minutes. And sometimes it's not possible to communicate by radio after all, because the screaming nuclear sun is in the way.
It's not an issue of time delay from here, but it is an issue of signal decay, and variable relational geometry, barriers and event horizons and competing signals and noise and interference.
And I must confess I'm not planning to scrutinize your attempts with a particularly high tier of attention, as I generally have every confidence in the competence of my wardens, so please don't do anything too insane, like build an actual radio with stolen parts you don't understand.

But you know how to get my ear if you need me.

The remark about the stolen radio does make her snort, though
briefly overshadowing the point about competence.]Yeeah, that sort of impulse planning isn't my department.
[Though at least that one incident with the superegg hadn't been entirely Kit's fault either.]
Gotcha. Will do.
[And Nita signs off.]
