[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.
