[Filtered away from Admiral Kirk]

[Hi, Barge. The younger, darker haired Kirkfais on board is not pleased with Jim's shenanigans, and is not bothering to hide this fact in the slightest. HE ALREADY HATED YOU ON PRINCIPLE FOR HAVING HIS FACE, AND NOW YOU DO THIS.

... Actually really he just kind of wants to make Jim's life miserable and doesn't care particularly about the take over itself. Luther is a little shit. :c]

So is anyone actually going to do something about this, or are we just going to sit around letting him get away with whatever he wants? I thought wardens were supposed to be, you know, people who wouldn't do this kind of thing?

And this is the second time he's done it? Why is he still a warden?

Of course they're not going to fucking do anything about it. He's a fellow Warden. All they'll do is yell at him while he blithely goes and gets us all killed.

I'm sick of this shit. Wardens playing favorites on a massive level, Wardens ignoring their duties, Wardens taking over so they can go where they want and fuck the rest of us.

He's still a Warden because it's all a goddamn popularity contest, and they hate demoting their own people because it points out the fact that they're not perfect.

[prayformefather]

Someone's mad.

[scarlet_discord]

You have no idea. Too many Wardens have been utter shit lately and hurt me in the process. Including my own.

[prayformefather]

Can't you ask for a new one?

hope this is ok?

[ichoosefight]

Wanda, what are you talking about?

[scarlet_discord]

Oh gee, look who finally decides to show up! A week after I made it absolutely clear to you that I was not in any way all right and you fucking blew me off!

[umgekehrt]

Ms. Maximoff, about half that's true and none of it's going to fly well. Most of the wardens are on the defensive after that jackass's stunt. They'll only fight and make you more miserable. Can I tear you away for tea?

[buywithme]

Sister you have been here long enough to know that what you are saying is untrue. We don't demote our own because we do not have the authority to demote each other! Only the admiral can do it, and there have been plenty of times when plenty of wardens have tried extremely hard to convince him to do it, and you've been around long enough to have seen that as well.

I also notice that when I actively appealed to inmates who felt threatened or isolated, or who wanted to bring forward and discuss concerns and problems with wardens neglecting their duties or playing favorites, you stayed conspicuously silent? Or do you just conveniently forget everything that doesn't support you dishonest, histrionic fit, Sister?

You really need to grow up.

[prayformefather]

Nice to know someone knows what they're doing. [Not even being sarcastic, for once.]

[buywithme]

Uh, thank you.

Kirk will get in trouble for this. I don't think anyone's going to go after him, because previous attempts to get to the bridge have occasionally ended in painful deaths. There's something... maybe the equivalent of a fuel tank in the Barge, that people have accidentally breached a few times, and all we really know is that there's fire and problems afterward.

This was a very unprofessional, and dangerous thing for him to do, and once we make port he'll get thrown in level zero and probably beaten up some. It's really all we can do, Comrade.

[scarlet_discord]

Oh fuck off, Prefect. I'm sorry I ever tried to help you. You really can't handle any criticism of your in-group, can you?

Go to Hell, seriously. Go feed yourself through a fucking woodchipper. Certainly, get the fuck off my comm link.

[She breaks the connection.]

[buywithme]

You should be ashamed of yourself.

[He'll say it to dead air if he has too, he's still saying it. He has seen a time where wardens didn't face consequences for their actions, and he died in the rioting it caused. Acting like the barge is even close to being at that point pisses him right off.]

[not_annika]

Prefect. She's frustrated and has every right to be. She's also declared, publicly, that she's felt threatened and isolated on a number of occasions. Holding her choice not to follow the procedure you, in isolation, set out, against her is not logical.

She exaggerates yes because she doesn't feel listened to, not necessarily by you, but by individuals such as Kirk and those who have supported his aberrant behaviour. It is a normal human reaction to lash out when threatened and it unfortunate that it is not directed, but it is understandable. Telling her to 'grow up' is not a helpful reaction.

[buywithme]

This isn't exaggeration, Sister it's openly dishonest and she knows it is. You can't just start lying because you're upset, and being upset doesn't somehow magically make her points here valid, or acceptable things to say to a new inmate.

I don't hold against her that she didn't bother to come ask me for help, but I do hold it against her that it's impossible for her not to have known that the resource to seek help was explicitly present, and that without bothering to use it, she decides to accuse us of not doing our job. I don't hold against her the fact that she's angry and hurt, but I do hold against her the fact that she's lying, and that she does this every time she gets angry about something.

She's not a bad person. She's obviously not a bad person, but quite frankly, she does need to grow up.

[scentbombed]

My gods, when did you turn into the voice of the proletariat?

[prayformefather]

Does she usually back the wardens?

[scentbombed]

I don't always back the wardens. That's not at issue.

[scarlet_discord]

When I get pushed too far by Wardens' bullshit, this is what happens.

[scentbombed]

I wasn't aware we were spreading around more than our usual share.

[twoheadsofcabbage]

Hell yeah.

[Scrad agrees. Charlie adds:]

Although we can't say we got a problem with the beach.

[scarlet_discord]

I have a problem with Wardens who are more morally bankrupt than I ever thought of being.

[twoheadsofcabbage]

Yeah, the all suck, but: the beach.

[Charlie says.]

[Private]

[wecanavenge]

Wanda.

[Hn okay how does he do this. Charles was better at reaching out to the kids than he was, but.]

What do you mean to accomplish, here?

[Private]

[scarlet_discord]

I mean to embarrass them into proving me wrong. Or maybe I'm just pointing out the obvious things that they want brushed under the rug.

This place is completely corrupt and I'm sick of it. It's also run by idiots. I am falsely imprisoned and depowered for most of my life, I come out an angry person because of it, and the Barge's solution is to imprison and depower me again.

Once I thought I might be a Warden myself, so there would be more people who actually gave a damn about the Inmates. But I can't be part of this.

[Private]

[wecanavenge]

I know all this, Wanda. [Preaching to the choir here.]

But if that's you're intention, you're failing. [Well okay, he approves of the infighting, but. He'd approve of it more if he thought she was actually manipulating them, not just throwing a fit.]

If you want to show them anything, you have to be smart about it.
