I'm failing to understand the purpose of stopping in port for a "relaxing vacation". I was under the apparently false impression that this wasn't a pleasure cruise.

[Private to Ariadne]

I'm assuming you want to disembark.

My warden. Nygma. You?

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

There's a lot more than that. I morphed the eagle to see what's up from the air. There's gotta be half the people on the Barge here. At least. And no sign of any civilization anywhere.

[resultofwar]

Obviously. Most people seemed happy to disembark.

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

It's kinda weird, though. I don't think the Admiral's into just handing out vacations like this.

[resultofwar]

Yeah. I assume there's some kind of catch.

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

I think the Admiral has some reason he wanted people off the Barge for a little while. Maybe it needs to be repaired or refueled. Did you learn anything about how the technical side of things?

[resultofwar]

No. [Displeased as haaaale about that.]

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

Same here. No one I talked to knows. Or they're not telling. I've been trying to figure out who's not on this island. The ones still on the Barge are probably the ones working directly under the Admiral. That's my guess, anyway.

[resultofwar]

Are you always this interested in conspiracy theories?

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

Always.

[resultofwar]

Even when they're incredibly unfounded?

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

You think I'm being paranoid?

[resultofwar]

I think the wardens have just as little idea of how things work as we do.

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

You've seen how large the ship is. Is it even possible for one guy to run it all by himself?

[resultofwar]

This is a place where on a regular basis, people are altered physically, mentally, and emotionally with little to no pattern or explanation. Almost everyone is from an alternate reality from everyone else, death isn't permanent, and we're all even speaking the same language. I'd say anything's possible.

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

Why even bother with the distinction between wardens and inmates then? If the wardens are just as clueless as we are, wouldn't they be just as curious to figure out how things work on the Barge? They seem almost... intentionally disinterested. Does that make any sense?

[resultofwar]

Obviously you haven't met my warden.

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

Can't say I have. What's her deal?

[resultofwar]

You mean why is she here?

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

I mean how is she different from the other wardens?

[resultofwar]

She asks a lot of questions.

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

Has she told you about your file yet?

[resultofwar]

Yes. [Lies. But. Heero's good at lying. It is, after all, part of the job.]

Why?

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

[Good enough that David buys it. He looks momentarily disarmed.]

Huh. Guess you're right about her being different then. You're fine with her knowing that much about you?

[resultofwar]

No. But it's how this place works.
