one; AT LONG LAST Thom makes his appearance

[giftedtwin]

[Today, Barge, you're going to get to see an old timey person figure out the journals. The first part of this is scribbled fast in thin, scratchy handwriting. Thom's using the paper journal he found sitting next to the communicator device, which he doesn't recognise at all, to write notes about said communicator.]

Hello, sir. Welcome to the Barge. My name is Chromie, I work here. You'll be just fine, the Admiral has just replicated your living quarters to help you settle in.

[giftedtwin]

I'm no knight. [You called him 'sir', Chromie.] My title is Master Lord Thom of Trebond, but Master Thom or my lord will do.

How is it that this Admiral has the power to do that? Is it simply illusion?

[strangehstorian]

Alright, whatever you prefer, Master Thom! The Admiral is extremely powerful; his abilities are close to that of a god.

[giftedtwin]

He is no god I've ever heard tell of. But if he has the ability to bridge worlds-- He must have power of one kind or another.

You said you work here. Are you a servant of the Admiral? Or something else?

[strangehstorian]

I'm a warden here. The Barge is a rehabilitation facility, and the wardens all agree to each treat one inmate in exchange for a wish.

[giftedtwin]

Ah. He grants wishes. Of course. [Pause.] Rehabilitation. Am I correct in thinking that means mine?

[strangehstorian]

[Smile.] Yes.

[giftedtwin]

Who has the right to judge that I need redeeming?

[strangehstorian]

Well, you'd have to take that up with him, I'm afraid.

[Sunny as fuck.]
