I can't believe this. Not a single mention of what is being done about Rex stranding and zombifying us all. No apology from his Warden for letting this all go on under his nose. No nothing. We're just expected to clean ourselves off and go back to pretending that nothing happened

Was it really as bad as all that?

Yes, it was that bad. And you know what is worse? Having these fucking wardens line up three deep to yell at me because I dared to assert that precious darling Rex has fucked us and deserves to be punished, and that we his victims deserve some vindication.

Uh, don't they usually handle all that punishment stuff on their own. And I saw somewhere that Rex is in a coma. What are you supposed to do to a guy who isn't even conscious?

Seriously, if you did something... would you want everyone on the Barge all over you?

They're supposed to be the good guys. They're supposed to at least consider the greater good, the needs of the many and all that good stuff. Instead they're a bunch of selfish douchebags who don't want to be bothered.

I would never do anything to hurt every single person on the Barge. But if I did, I would expect a boot up my ass for it. I'd deserve it. Rex deserves it. The only reason people aren't discussing punishment is that he's popular. Not because he's unconscious. Not because he doesn't deserve it. He's popular and that trumps any morals and ideals that most of them have.

I really don't think that's it, Wanda. Really. I don't know that many people who like him. You liked him better than I do.

We don't get to pick his punishment. The wardens, plural, don't either. Unless I heard wrong. Only his warden gets to pick. Talk to him.

All I wanted was reassurance that he would be punished at all.

Anyway, now I know. You can't go to the Wardens for anything. Not help, not safety, not justice. Talking to Capa won't help anything. The man's an icecube with ears.

He doesn't talk much, I'll admit, but he probably will do something when it's time to do something.

Whatever he does I doubt it will be enough to even get Rex to admit wrongdoing.

[counturfingers]

That's because Rex is... who and what he is.

[Dry laugh] Let's leave it at "jackass" so there's no embarrassment involved.

I didn't want to say it, but I agree with you. Completely.
