Who was investigating the phenomenon before port?

[Private to Olive]

I need a weapon.

[Friends Filter - Una, Rinzler, Rhade, Kay, Brax, Slade, Ariadne]

Check in.

I don't usually talk about myself because I've been trained to keep everything private, and to not get close to other people. Friendships and allies are connections I shouldn't need to get my job done correctly.

But I miss Cooper and I don't know how to handle that. I've never had an adult actually care about me like that before outside of being a weapon or a soldier to train. I think Odin cared, but he didn't show it the way most of you would expect a parent to. Cooper knew what I was capable of, but he still looked out for me.

I feel like the Barge is wearing away walls I need to do my job correctly, if I ever went home. But I actually don't really give a damn about what I did. I regret some of the deaths my orders were responsible for, but the cause wasn't really mine to fight for. I just followed orders because I don't know how to do anything else. I know I was fighting for the right side, I just don't care about the outcome of the war itself.

Also I think you're all ridiculous for assuming that just because I'm a teenager that I'm not particularly capable or dangerous. I'm probably responsible for more deaths than most of you.

[Private to Olive]

I want to talk about this with you but don't know how to ask you about it.

[Private to Naoto]

I am incredibly embarrassed about how my port counterpart acted during our "dragon hunt" and I hope you aren't planning on making any assumptions about me based on who I was there because thus far I respect you.

[ooc: lol affected. c: This will all be retroactively private when the flood is over.]

[Filtered to Wardens minus Olive]

I've had enough of this place.

I've spoken about pacifism at great length here. That it can be achieved and upheld, but now I'm beginning to think I was wrong.

I want to see it from the other side. I want to be able to defend myself here. I'm tired of being the victim and being seen as weak.

I want to learn how to use a weapon.

[Private to Cooper]
Where are you?

[ooc: Heero is unaffected, and will not be trying too hard to act like he is. His counterpart is a pacifist, basically defenseless and tries to help as much as he can, and acts a lot like Relena, which will mean Heero is now majorly drawing from his experience with her to try to approximate how to act.]

Perhaps this is not very Christian of me to admit to, but I am glad that the murderer of Miss Parker is going to be swiftly brought to justice for all he has done, both to us and to others like us.

[Private to Cooper]

I need to speak with you.

[Private to Una]

I know.

[ooc: This is Henry Pearson, Una's - and Cooper's - son. He's still fifteen, still kind of quiet and linefacey, but basically a pretty average kid in this breach.]

[Filtered away from Treize]

[The feed clicks on, but there's a short pause between it and Heero actually speaking.]

In the event that an inmate's crimes and reason for being here aren't obvious, even with the help of a file, how are they ever actually "redeemed"?

[There's a pause like he's going to say something else, but he switches off the feed instead.]

[Private to Ariadne]

Treize is here.

[Private to Cooper]

You spar?

[ooc: Still on hiatus, but Heero couldn't not say anything in response to Treize being here.]

[Heero has been doing his reading, and he is not all that impressed, Barge. Accepting that he's died comes easily enough - it's been a risk he's been well aware of and happy to accept for a long time - but the lack of structure and logic in this place doesn't sit well with him in the slightest.

His voice is almost entirely flat, almost disinterested, and maybe just a little annoyed.]

There's a space fortress called "Barge" where I came from. Somehow I doubt it has much in common with this place.

Since arriving on board, has anyone actually spoken with the Admiral personally? I have a few questions I'd prefer he answer himself.

[Private separately to Tosh and Harper; added after talking to Armand]

I've been told you might have technical readouts of the ship.
