[In Zero, Scorpius does what he does best: he plans. Giving him space and time to think through what he wants and how to get it is one of the unintended gifts of his cell space, and he appreciates every moment of it.

After several days, he addresses the Barge]


A question to my fellow shipmates;

When an inmate commits a grievous crime, who is to blame for it? Obviously the inmate must share some, but what percentage is attributed to them and what percentage is attributed to their warden, who may be unfit to command them? A warden may fail just as easily by not admitting to something that could be most assuredly out of their control.

And what of inmates who aren't paired and no one has taken the time to explain to them the rules?

My apologies to Alex Summers. While it was certainly my intent to hurt him, he had done nothing to harm me and was simply in the correct place at the correct time.



[Private to Crichton]

Of course, John, we all know that you are the one fully to blame.

More like Alex will follow. You cannot hope to save them all.

In a few days' time they will be forced to release me. What has changed between the time of my entering this cell and the time of my leaving it? As a deterrent towards behavior, Zero leaves much to be desired.

I am willing to entertain ideas of a deal between us.

[He doesn't expect an answer, and likely not an honest one if any. Yet he has to ask.]

To what purpose?
his_drededfate: (Not exactly as planned)

[Honesty is good. Knowing what the hell you were talking about would be better. He'll guess.]

Yet while you're present on the barge is such information not worthless?

How about revolution?

[Priorities]

Maybe it's because of Earth's size, or how we've spread across it. [She thinks of the Shi'ar, and how monolithic they seem to be.

She thinks of a young officer, screaming as fire consumes her, and her fingers twitch in her lap.]

Have you considered that you've got an opportunity to change that?

Good. I'd hate to think of you wasting any through tunnel-vision.

[Her eyebrows arch, and her lips quirk.]

What do you say?

I don't know, hurting Alex was kind of moronic.

No, you just forgot something.

Don't they have please and thank you in space?

That's not what I'm trying to do, Scorpius. And anyway, I have better ways to feel superior.

Then you should learn. Manners can get you a long way.
