In that case, I'd vouch for Misty without any reservations. [She has already helped him out in a clear, constructive way.] As long as everyone in the organization was willing to take input where we're being biased, that could really help bridge that gap between wardens and inmates.

The issue is always what sort of consequences could be enforced, but that's a discussion that should be held with more people, I think.

[ready, firm, immediate agreement] Inmate participation is nonnegotiable. Especially because without that, we run the risk of swinging from not caring what they do, to trying to control them. The enabling wardens are my biggest problem right now, but there are a small handful who trend pretty far the other way.

Fives on the one side, and Franky on the other. I like them both well enough, but Fives is... [useless. No, a more constructive, more fair term, one that doesn't smack of bitterness] only here until Jedao graduates. He isn't invested in the ship otherwise, but he will do whatever he has to do to protect whoever is in their circle. Doesn't matter what those people do or who they hurt to do it.

And Franky is still learning the ropes. She's military, and I'd bet every dollar I have that she's had to fight her way to where she's at, so she seems to view the inmates as...well. As adversaries. Pagan is convinced she was willing to let him bleed to death in front of her, and I don't think he's exaggerating. But that being said, I've spoken to her. She's able to adapt and I think she could do a lot of good here once she finds her footing.

That's two off the top of my head, but there are others.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's noticed it, then. [Both that Franky is sharp, and that she has a different and potentially dangerous angle to the way she's approaching the inmates. But Lark meant what he said: he's confident she'll be fine as long as she isn't frozen out.]

Anyway, blind loyalty works well for some marriages and surviving hellscapes, but since we're trying to create a system of fair consequences in a place where we are guaranteed survival... [Not so much.]

I'd recuse myself if Alec pulled another stunt, because I need this thing to work more than I need to chase people away from wanting restitution from him. Other people don't. A lot of other people won't want to. It's going to be a problem.

[It already has been for him, clearly. Not having a clear consequence to offer only made it worse.]
