44 - I happen to think this is a VERY FINE Wardening techique.
[Harper switches on the video feed, and he's kinda got that twitchy, 'I'm furious, but I'm reigning it in' look about him. He smiles, and claps his hands together.]
So hey! Who's mad at right now? Everyone, yeah? I mean, I'm talking myself included here, because hey, getting controlled into hurting your friends and destroying the things you love? Yeah, that freakin' bites, especially when the guy who does it to you is someone you like, someone you trust, even. So believe me...
[He gives the Barge a pretty serious, direct look now.]
...I get it.
I could not get it more. And I get why people are out to hurt him now, and I get how hard it must be not to act on the desire to take revenge, when you know that the only downside to it is that you'll get a week in Zero and a disappointed shake of your warden's head.
[And then he brightens up once again, and now it's a little bit manic.]
So I figure, I'm gonna make it a whole lot easier. For anyone who's not feeling a whole lot better since seeing that lovely broadcast? Or for anyone who got any ideas from it? I'm gonna make this clear, just to dissuade any monkey see monkey do crap:
From now on? Anyone who deliberately hurts my inmate for any reason? I will personally track down and kill. Painfully.
See, I don't really get involved in how the wardens mete out punishment on each other for crap like this, but so far? I've not seen any of them get worse than a week in zero either. So I figure, I'm giving you all advance warning, right? You know the consequences now, and if your wardens have a problem with it? Well, then they can throw me in zero after I've pounded two energy blasts into your face.
Try not to think of this as a vendetta, or as vigilantism. Think of it as the death penalty distributed a la Seamus Harper.
[Piece said, Harper reaches forward, and flicks off the video.]
