I am overjoyed to know that while half of you are whining about going half insane for a week, and the other half are gasping and wailing over more rampant godlessness on this montón de estiércol of a ship, the fact that I was attacked by an unaffected Inmate and eaten alive does not appear to be anything of import. An Inmate who is continuing to

Perhaps it is time to teach the cannibalistic wench a lesson yet again. Hannah, I believe? I do remember telling a warden who the brunette cannibal was in hopes she would be punished for her crimes. And yet she was not?

[Private]

[captain_vidal]

Not as far as I am knowing, Signor.

[Private]

[namorofthesea]

Then perhaps it would be advisable to arrange a punishment without warden approval.

[Private]

[captain_vidal]

I am working on that, signor, as we speak.

[pleasesmirk]

I...cannot believe it took being killed for you to realise this.

[captain_vidal]

I realize you delight in being useless, yourself, but spare me the commentary.

[pleasesmirk]

I do not find delight in this, sir. It concerns me deeply, their incompetence.

Okay, first off, Hannah Logan is in the cells.

Second, I was not scolding you, I was reminding you that this was an opportunity to exercise a little empathy for people you've killed in the past. I never blamed you for what happened - in fact, I remember saying specifically that I didn't blame you. I know you don't eat people.

And third... Good. I said I'd give you back your shaving kit, and I will. But frankly, you're showing absolutely no inclination to learn from the one simple thing I asked you to do, and really? Swearing at me and calling my people useless is kind of pissing me off. So I will bring it to your cabin every morning, and I'll stay there while you shave, and then you'll give it back.

Private

[captain_vidal]

No inclination? I wrote it, did I not?

Captain, let me get something straight with you. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you don't want to be here, do you? Maybe you're willing to humor me but deep down, do you really want to change?

If you don't want to find redemption, I don't believe it's something that can be forced on you. If you physically harm anyone else on board, for any reason other than the defense of yourself or an innocent third party, I will punish you. If you verbally abuse someone who did nothing to you, I will ask you to stop. But if you're willing not to go out of your way to antagonize me, I'll stop lecturing you and giving you these little assignments.

If, or when, you do want to change, I will be there to help you. But redemption not something you should choose looking for a reward or an easy way out of here. Redemption is a path, one you never truly leave. It's something I struggle with every day. It's hard, and it's painful, and it's not something to be undertaken lightly.

Private - In spite of what he says in his most recent entry, he gets you.

Private.

[thegooddrjones]

Are you still in need of any medical assistance?

Private

[captain_vidal]

I am not in need of a doctor.

Private

[thegooddrjones]

All right, just figured I'd ask.
