He glares at Walter for a moment longer, frustrated by the lack of answers. He'll say one more thing about the matter: "Arthur Lester is her coworker."
He'll let that sink in. "Do you understand that? It's the same as with Trevor. He was beaten by wardens as an inmate. He told me so himself. But that doesn't matter now, he'll still close ranks with them, including the ones who beat him—I'm almost certain—though I don't know their names. But he defends Lark, who was his warden. Oh, speaking of that, do you know how Trevor graduated? Trevor and Lark were put on one of the other ships together, but on the other ship, Trevor was the warden and Lark an inmate. Lark asked him to demote himself, and Trevor agreed. That's how he 'graduated.' By showing complete obedience and submission to his warden, even when he didn't have to, even at great personal cost."
So much for 'minimally brainwashed.' Is any of this getting through to Walter? If Trevor saved him during the hell flood, he probably won't want to hear the truth and could even turn on Pyotr himself over it. As is, he may have said too much, especially by trying to cast doubt upon Misty. On the other hand, Trevor is a striking example of exactly what graduation entails.
"I do think it would be enlightening if you could find out what they're saying behind your back," he says cautiously. "Because I guarantee you that Trevor was not pleased with you making things difficult for his esteemed colleague. You should be careful around him."
