I'm kinda wondering at this point if the Warden of whoever did it knows who did it and just doesn't wanna admit they didn't notice their Inmate building a doomsday device.

[Private to Mozenrath]

Hey, sunshine. Don't suppose you have any above-decks access right now?

That would be interesting, wouldn't it?

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Not sure that's the word I'd use.

[subtlescience]

Far more interesting is the question of how many inmates might have provided the parts for a doomsday device, and have said nothing of the recipient to their own wardens.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

What'd be in it for them? 'Oh, sorry, I gave Mass Murderer #2846 the 'on' switch that melted a few dozen people when pushed'.

[subtlescience]

My curiosity is piqued. What sort of reward would tempt such information? A step closer to rehabilitation is surely of no consequence to you lot. Something more material, then, I imagine?

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Gee, Severus, since I don't make a habit of supplying mad scientists with equipment recently I couldn't begin to tell you.

[subtlescience]

Pity.

Wouldn't surprise me, you know.

It equally wouldn't surprise me if the particular criminal responsible hadn't killed their warden in the process and avoided immediate consequences like that.

Given your opinion on criminal insanity, Findthee, you wouldn't be surprised if the culprit had just gone ahead and killed themselves in the process.

[pleasesmirk.livejournal.com]

To be honest, I wouldn't be. Maybe only by accident, or by necessity of having to set it off, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Criminals never surprise me because I don't let them, not because they're predictable.

[mightymorbid]

I should.

Don't suppose you could share? I need a change of scenery like you wouldn't believe. And I don't want to have to ask Kirk.

[Private]

[mightymorbid]

Sure. We'll see when we get up there whether or not I can get into the CES, but I'm pretty sure I can.

[Private]

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Meet you on deck in half an hour?

[Private]

[mightymorbid]

Half an hour.

So she was adjusting, a little bit, maybe. More like she was back in the swing of talking to people she didn't know all that well - Snape, Findthee, Ruby to an extent. She was never particularly sincere with them anyway, so pretending to be back to normal was easy.

But some others? Mozenrath, McCoy, Kirk...they were trickier to lie to. Or easier to be honest with. It was hard to tell.

She stood on the deck and crossed her arms tightly, waiting for Mozenrath to show.

Time for your check up.

When's the last time you showered and eaten?

Private

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

You're seriously asking me these questions.

Private

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

Since you openly admitted that you haven't been doing much of either lately, yes.

Private

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Whatever. This morning and sometime yesterday last night respectively.

Private

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

You should eat today.

Private

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, probably.

[lazarusrisen.livejournal.com]

You know, that sounds like the best idea I've heard yet.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

It just struck me as something that'd make sense.

[lazarusrisen.livejournal.com]

After all, no one wants to admit incompetence.
