Does anyone actually know how off-Barge contact yesterday was made possible? Or is that another Barge secret inmates aren't allowed to know about until they have a warden to check in with first?

I can't explain it either.

I don't think there's any 'Barge secrets' to my knowledge that the Wardens know and the inmates don't. There's plenty, I've discovered that neither of us know, but if there are, I'll give the answers.

Question asking shouldn't be discouraged. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about this one.

I've been told those working in the engine room take status readings, but don't distribute them. Therefore, it doesn't seem like there's a totally free exchange of information about how the ship works.

I see. Well, I admit that engine rooms and their statuses aren't my area of expertise.

Have you asked the engine room staff why this is?

Private

[resultofwar]

Because I'm an inmate and they question my motives.

Re: Private

What do they think your motives might be?

Who did you discuss this with?

Private

[resultofwar]

Presumably that I'll want to sabotage the ship.

Toshiko Sato.

Which is... a possibility to be wary of, I'm sure. It's possibly a danger from anyone on board.

I can ask if there's anything that can be made publicly avaliable, without putting everyone at risk. I don't think questions should go unanswered.

Private

It's understandable. It's more personal curiosity. If it's sensitive information, they have every right to want to monitor who has access to it.

But I have no interest in destroying the ship.

Re: Private

Do you have any way of showing that to them?

I'm sure they have inmates down there, working. Maybe you could volunteer?

Private

[resultofwar]

I'm not sure.

Maybe. Apparently I need to be assigned in order to be trustworthy at all.

Re: Private

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

How does that make you instantly trustworthy?

Private

[resultofwar]

I've been wondering the same thing.

Re: Private

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

I'm told we get information on our inmates. Maybe that's why?

[Frown.]

I'm not entirely sure.

Private

[resultofwar]

When I am assigned, I'd like to think my information will stay private.

Re: Private

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

Well, I'd like to think so too.

But, I suppose, if you had someone who'd do the murder as soon as you put them near knives, you might need a warden who knows this to say 'don't let them in the kitchen'? That's the only reason I can think of.

Private

[resultofwar]

And I'd agree with you.
