I take it by all your reactions that this is a rare and unusual occurrence.

Shame. I feel we could all benefit from a few words of wisdom from those outside of our reenforced bubble.

Very well: speak your mind. Lt. Braca, if you can hear me: report.

Torn apart. By an army of damned souls.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

My sincerest condolences.

[darknessb4me]

We all die one way or another.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Still, I wished my death had come at a time after my project was moved to completion. Timing is such a curious thing.

[darknessb4me]

Why would anyone have bothered to kill you in the first place, then?

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Many reasons. I'm afraid I have a completely deserved reputation as an unforgiving, merciless commander of a paramilitary organization that frequently polices other species at a high cost. You can imagine the death threats.

[darknessb4me]

I have a vague idea.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

And yet it was my newest enemy, currently here on the Barge as a warden, who dealt the largest hand in my death. Surprising; I didn't think he had the means. But it is my fault for underestimating him.

[darknessb4me]

At least he's not assigned to you.

[Yet.]

[keeps_a_cool_head]

I assigned him to me some time ago. We don't need to be officially paired for me to keep him near.

[darknessb4me]

Has anyone told you how this place works?

You'll get a warden who will follow you around telling you how to behave. What you did wrong. How much better they could have lived your life, in your place.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

I'd be interested to hear their opinion, even if it did come with the benefit of not having lived my life. It's deceptively easy to point the mistakes from a distance without having lived in the moment.

Still. I come here with relatively few regrets, I'm sure, compared to some.

Who is your warden? And have they done the same to you?

[darknessb4me]

My warden killed me.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

My condolences. I hope you had the opportunity to pay him back in turn.

[darknessb4me]

Yes.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Then perhaps my thinking to control the man who killed me is not so outlandish as I once believed.

[darknessb4me]

I just pushed mine down the steps.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Crude but effective. Though given the Barge's propensity for resurrection, it can't have lasted that long.

[darknessb4me]

The way he complains, you'd think it was the worst thing he'd ever been through.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

How dramatic.
