Wardening, LIKE A BOSS
[Private to Cobra Commander]
Rex? Way to kill that annoying kid, but uh, in the future? Maybe you could wait until he actually screws with you to commit the murder. Or, you know, pick a target that won't whine about it until his lungs cave in?
[Private to Armand]
My inmate tell you to commit any murders lately?
[Warden Filter]
Since this matter is apparently in the public domain or some crap, The great and glorious Seamus Zelazny Harper presents for your intrigue and interest and in the hope that we can get this crap outta the way now and not go back over it again, what's happening:
I'm talking to Rex and I'm talking to Armand, if I can find any indication at all that Rex had a part in this? Then he'll get punished. What I won't do, is make any kind of example of him, or throw a freakin' publicity party over it to establish that my warden balls hang the lowest, so don't expect one. If I can't find any indication that he was involved with this? Then I won't punish him on hearsay.
11-12? Let me be clear on this, you do not use this as a reason to contact my inmate. If he did it then you'll hear from us, if he didn't then you won't, and you've got no reason to make any further contact with him than that.
Now, if anyone would like to talk to me about anything related to this? You know, death threats, murder plots that my inmate may have been involved in, and let me say this last one clearly: issues with the way I've been doing my job?
This would be the time to bring them up.
I might not agree with you, and I probably won't change what I'm doing, but you'll get a straight answer, and I'd honestly prefer to assume that I'm working with freaking adults here, you know, the kind who can actually address their issues with someone instead of playing extended games of Chinese whispers.
[Private afterthought to Martha]
Hey, look, I... I know we aren't on the best terms ever, and I know I'm not exactly the most socially graceful person on board, or one of the more [pause] sympathetic wardens, I guess...
[That's his way of apologizing for all the shouting he did at you last time y'all had a conversation.]
...but thanks. I mean, I read some of that stuff 11-12 was saying, and thank you for sticking up for Rex. I don't know if he did it or not. I mean, I'd like to think that he wouldn't be out looking for reasons to play with Armand right now, but It's not like I can't imagine him doing it. Still, that freakin' kid--
...
You literally couldn't pick someone on the barge who I'd say was more likely to bullshit this.
