-8- Edits made after speaking privately with Iroh and meditation.

My Inmate, Charlie Prince, is expected to work one shift in the kitchen daily. If he does not come, then he is not to be permitted into the dining hall to take his meal with the others, and food is not to be given to him only bread and water is to be provided for him. If he behaves aggressively he is not to be fed at all. Anyone seen attempting to

Una and Paddy's decisions on this matter are their own, but I will not help you to starve your Inmate.

[nehraa_beresaad]

Then you help him starve himself.

[grand_lotus]

I take your meaning. But you are proposing the same to anyone you would ask to help to torture him, or to turn a blind eye to it.

[nehraa_beresaad]

Your people like to employ words when they do not apply as a means of exaggeration. Expecting him to do what every other Inmate here does without kicking and wailing like an infant is not torture.

Billy will feed him regardless of what the wardens say. He ain't afraid of you, Sten.

[my_freeze_ray]

Thanks for giving him the time and opportunity to change your mind about that, Billy :D

Sten Vs. The entire kitchen staff! COMING SOON TO A TV SCREEN NEAR YOU!

Even given the highly unlikely event that Una and Paddy were going to allow you to do so, and you manage to convince Iroh, no one on board is going to tolerate your starving your inmate, irritating twat that he is.

Confiscate his hat instead. He shouldn't be wearing it indoors anyway.

[nehraa_beresaad]

I am not here for your tolerance; I am here to complete the task that I was given, and that includes removing obstacles.

[rass_bestie]

Let me put this in terms you understand. If you don't feed your inmate, we will. I don't care if you're here to make multiversal peace and prosperity for all, it's not going to happen.

[nehraa_beresaad]

It is not a wonder that he behaves as he does when everyone is content to simply allow him. He will not allow himself to go hungry for long; he keeps up this pretense because he expects people to contradict those that impose upon him.

So let me put this in terms you will understand: If you try to, I will stop you.

I'm currently quite preoccupied with O'Brien, but I'll go ahead and weigh on on this matter instead of leaving it until I've returned to work.

I could possibly endorse a punitive restriction to bread-and-water or something similarly abstemious like Pot Noodle, if Paddy feels like breaking into his supply, but with regards to outright deprivation, I'm going to have to stand with Iroh and the Doctor. Surely there must be a halfway measure that we can all agree on.

[nehraa_beresaad]

It is not the decision of the other Wardens.

[mrs_persson]

But if other wardens disagree with your approach and decide to see that your inmate is fed, however minimally, you haven't really helped your own purpose. And other wardens have clearly disagreed.

As much as we'd sometimes like it, we don't work with our inmates in a vacuum.

[nehraa_beresaad]

And other Wardens handling him in the past when he has had none has done NOTHING to change his behavior. So I will work with my Inmate in a "vacuum".
