So, Ray's gone. I'm startin' to wonder if I'm ever gonna get assigned ta someone for more then a couple weeks before they vanish.

... There's somethin' I don't understand. Now, I don't pretend ta know people's reasons for needin' to go back home or anything, but I don't understand why wardens choose to leave permanently without completin' their deal. Choosin' ta leave everything for god knows how long ta complete a deal isn't somethin' you just toss around lightly. You're makin' a commitment to another person, and packin' up and leavin' because it's too hard or somethin' just seems...

I don't get it. And again, I'm not sayin' people who disappear are at fault, or that I get why people leave or anythin' but...

I'm here to do a job. And I'm not leavin' until it's over.

[Private to Fred]

Kinda weird meetin' someone when we're not actually ourselves and with a whole buncha memories that kinda... aren't ours, but it was nice ta meet you.

How's everyone doin' after that breach?

I know this might be some kinda "too many cooks in the kitchen" thing, but would either of you mind if I come down and take a look at the engines or somethin' once and a while? It's just, it's been kinda weird not havin' engines ta keep an eye on these last couple months and I'm not lookin' to step in and take over or anythin', I just want somethin' a little different then fixin' laundry machines and cleanin' up after people.

Maybe she just likes you.

I think I've earned grudging respect with a side of abandonment problems. But not like.

That's correct. Basically, an inmate can go wherever they want or do whatever they want.

I'm doing as well as I was before.

That's pretty nice. I mean, I'd assume some wanna go home, but if you don't, at least there's an option.

...Right.

So. Engines.

Probably.

And some can stay on the Barge as a warden. There are multiple options for inmates when they graduate, they just need to take advantage of them.

You don't believe me?

How've you been apart from all this?

Still would like ta know what happens to the ones who vanish.

After two years? That's pretty impressive.

Got any more door hinges that need fixin'?

Probably. When you've got somethin' ta make a deal for, you'd be surprised what you're willing to do.

Fortunately, I learned when I was seven that one shouldn't take apart necessary pieces of the house. So my hinges are fine.

You went through a tearin' everything apart you could get your hands on stage too?

Yes. It was the "trying to put it back together" phase that got me in trouble.

Don't you feel a little... exploited?

No. Should I?

What happened?

I don't know, really. It's not a position I'm in.

But... taking someone who's prepared to go to any lengths to get their daughter or wife, or own life back, or rescue a planet, and asking them to put up with literally any lengths does seem a little exploitative to me.

There was an incident involving my dad's tools and my mother's car.

I'm okay. [LOL LIES.]

Oh yeah? [Trip is good with people being like I AM SO AWESOMELY FINE I DON'T EVEN.]

Yeah. [WHY WON'T PEOPLE BELIEVE HIM]
