[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.

So he wanders down to Zero with an air of genuine nonchalance about himself, hands in his pants pockets like he's just casually taking a stroll and happened to end up here, outside of Scorpius' cell. His voice is downright mild and conversational when he addresses him, regarding him rather incuriously.]
You seem to be enjoying yourself.

Not to an obscene degree, I hope.

[When his face appears on the screen Scorpius will surely notice his skin is ashen and his eyes are ringed with dark circles. He looks angry, but more so, he simply looks tired. Even his voice is devoid of its usual fire.]
This the same deal you alway offer?
[Private]
Slowly but surely, he's wearing him down.]
In a sense.
What is your deal, John?

I doubt the Wardens know all the rules either, since it's all flexible. I gave my inmate rules that no one else is following. [And he gives Harvey a very long leash, longer than he should according to some.]

If you would exonerate an inmate for ignorance of the rules, then by the same logic, should you not excuse a warden for lack of ability? Or due to ignorance of the consequences of inadequacy?
[There's a brief pause though, as he keeps thinking about it.]
To my thinking Sir, it is a wrong for a warden to be negligent in his duties, but that it is a separate wrong to the crimes that an inmate may commit because of it.

Good question.
You won't touch him again.

As for rules, I think "not attacking an innocent bystander to make a point" can go unsaid most places. Or did you think you were being fair and reasonable?
no subject
Not at all. I was being cruel and vindictive and I think that was rather the point.

You ask these questions as an excuse.
What of the virtues you spoke of does this action of yours follow?
no subject
Simply because I list virtues does not ensure that I follow them to the letter, especially in the pursuit of what I want.

The wardens have less an effect on the inmates than their own pasts affect each.
