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.

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?

[Filtered to Tosh and Harper]

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.

I'm all right. Thanks, Trip.

I spent it in a coma, so I really can't complain.

All right. You?

It wouldn't bother me. We used to have Data working here too, so I can't see a three-Warden rotation being too many. It's not as if maintaining the engine room is an afterthought.

It was hard as hell when my first inmate left too, actually. He was a cowboy. Might have yelled at us for whining during the breach.

How're you?

Friendzzzz

I'm fine. It was an entirely uneventful couple of days for me.

Don't worry. For the longest time I had inmates that showed up and then left. It wasn't until Swing showed up that I had one with staying power. It's normal to have inmates show up and then quickly leave.

I'm doing alright.

How many inmates is this for you?

I'm... sorry about your inmate.

But as far as why people leave? I personally don't get why they stay. Or why they came in the first place.

Because if I was... alive, in my own world, and I was offered this? I'd have too much of a sense of duty, too many things I wouldn't want to miss, at home to stick around for. Especially if I found out what being here entailed.

I don't think it helps that people come and go like water, but I can't blame people for leaving. They probably do have somewhere better to be.

I'm doing as well as I was before.
