-38- [Backdated - Reaver is Industry. But He is also History]

I don't know this place at all. Listen -- whoever bought me here, there's nothing to gain from it. I and my family are of humble means; you'll get no ransom, and I am no one of great enough skill to be made useful.

...I have pressing business. You must return me to Oakvale.

I know that someone can hear me!

Something you will come to learn quickly is that in this place, there are far more questions than answers. I would not go seeking out sense behind your capture.

[tatty_bye]

There has to be some reason. Other than a simple accident.

[wardennolonger]

Perhaps you've done something conceived wrong by the man who rules this ship, but as far as I have learned, those standards are flexible.

[tatty_bye]

But I haven't done anything! I'm just...normal. Me. Nothing to bother with.

[wardennolonger]

Hm... well, unfortunately you're here now. It's not a terrible prison, on the brighter end of things. At least, I've seen worse.

[tatty_bye]

...It's a prison?

[wardennolonger]

As I've been told. One woman termed it a... Maker, what was it...? 'Rehabilitation Center'.

[Humorless laugh]

...I don't really understand. Merlin told me that it would wear off soon and I'd be home.

[wardennolonger]

Right, well, as far as I can tell... only some of us are here temporarily. Others, it's more permanent. It's anyone's guess what the case will be for you.

I wish I had brighter news for you, friend.
