[Crane sounds somewhat off balance - meeting Capa has shaken him a bit.]

When I first came here, someone, Alastair, perhaps, said that there was no difference between new meat and old meat. It’s true, for all of you new people. Half of you will disappear, the other half will wish they had. You will all be thrown into the same misery as the rest of

I'm not going to vanish the guy just cause the mere fact that he looks like you freaks you out.

Imposters are guys who say they
are you, not some poor unfortunate who
happens to look like you.

But if
you wanna look like someone else, then I'll oblige.

Private

[doctor_j_crane]

If you're not going to vanish him, can you at least change his appearence? I was here first.

Private

[charmedandperky]

I've asked him to leave you alone. You do the same.

He's a warden, you're an inmate. You're my inmate.

Look, if he tries to Single White Female you, then I got your back, but he's as irked about this as you are, try to understand that?

Private

[doctor_j_crane]

Why should I have to try and understand it? I've done nothing wrong. I'm not the party who should be blamed in this scenario.

Private

[charmedandperky]

He's done nothing wrong either! Why should he be blamed? He clearly didn't realise he'd be coming on board with a
doppleganger somebody who looks like him already there, did he?

I mean it's not a question you ask the Admiral. You ask him if he's legit, you ask him what's the catch. You do not ask him about the 'everybody's got a twin' clause. For some reason, these things do not cross your mind.

Tell me this and answer truthfully. Do you feel in danger?

Private

[doctor_j_crane]

That man is hardly be a danger to me. He said he was a physicist, which hardly is at the top of the list of dangerous professions that I should be concerned about.

And it doesn't matter how normalized this "twin" business is. It shouldn't be like this, and I am not going to simply accept it.

Private

[charmedandperky]

Why not?

Private

[doctor_j_crane]

Because I don't like it.

Private

[charmedandperky]

Yes, genius, exactly why?

Private - Crane is very mature sometimes.

[doctor_j_crane]

I don't like your tone.

Private

[charmedandperky]

Well, I'm not likely to change that either with the way you're acting.

Private

[doctor_j_crane]

So, because I act a particular way that gives you the right to sink to my level?

Private

[charmedandperky]

There's an old saying,'treat others like you want to be treated yourself', I suggest you take it to heart. I'll get off your back, once you get off oh, say, everyone else's?

Private

[doctor_j_crane]

I only do it because they deserve it.

Private

[charmedandperky]

They don't do anything you don't.

Private

[doctor_j_crane]

Not that you know of.
