Didn't get me. But nice try.

Yes, according to the trends my fantastic impulse control has gotten me selected for getting broken down into a second different type of evil person than I already am. We've established that incapacitating inmates is limited in scope, then. What could I want *more* than a reaction, that I could possibly get? Malcolm pointed out to me that my glib affect could get me a lot of time in prison even back in the United States, and that much I'll admit, but I do think two years for one murder is a bit odd in comparison to, say, six months for twenty. Thousand.

My father did four and half years here for over a million, which I will admit was a bit galling. But to be fair, he'd been tortured for 400 years back home before they finally finished executing him, so. Win some lose some, if you'll pardon a bit of glibness of my own.

To your earlier point, I do know that the barge isn't just. The barge isn't trying to create justice, just change. Anyone who says differently isn't paying attention.

[To say nothing of how many people that might be.]

But I need to teach Justine accountability. So I still need to think about what could be just. And I do think what you want matters to that.

If you wanted an apology, comma, any, comma, possibly aggravating and slightly humiliating, I could probably arrange that. If you wanted an apology, comma, sincere, I probably couldn't get you one from her any time soon, but I could give you one myself, in her presence, with enough earnest groveling that she'd probably dislike it immensely. If you wanted to never see her again, there's probably a way to phrase that to the admiral. I don't know. I'm creative.

But a reaction gives me leeway to use what I know. And I do have some ideas that I think will have an impact. May I ask, how long did it take you to heal, if you weren't healed magically?

About two weeks. I refused magical healing because it was small and the supplies on hand were pretty good. That's actually what I did with my bigger wound during the trial for sinners too. Before we unpack all that, I should have asked... who's Justine to you? Before all this. A couple days ago.

Someone I had hoped to befriend. I'd been her temporary warden prior to the Enposib, and I liked her. We are very different people, but we share a delight for novelty. Some things about her worried me, a little, but we weren't at a point where I felt like I had any right to go prying into it; now, obviously I have a duty to do exactly that.
