"If you're hearing this then I can't be fucked answering right now or some other shit-covered fuckwich is going down on this boat so I'll get back to you when the fuck I can!"

[The door to Blitzø's cabin looks like a typical shitty apartment door. Inside is pretty much exactly a shitty apartment. The door marked "Loona's room" does not open when tried and it appears that Blitzø himself sleeps on the couch. The walls are covered with images and drawings of horses, however every picture of Blitzø has his face scribbled over.]

I put it under a solid 'drink to forget'. Why, what did you get?

[She mumbles something unintelligible under her breath, then exhales.]

Serious question - do the details matter?

Depends how juicy they are. And how badly you wanna forget them. We talking getting wasted or just having a distraction?

I don't get wasted. Tipsy, sure, but nothing that'll keep me from doing my job.

You just kinda sounded like you didn't do great with the existential weirdness, and I know the feeling. The breach wasn't too bad, I guess. But it was still a breach.

Which job is that? [Cause he realises he doesn't know what most of the other inmates and wardens even do on this boat outside of cleaning and kitchens. One of them said about cybernetics? But other than that...]

It's fine, who doesn't like having to remember being a whole other species?

What j-- being a warden.

[This is very much said with a tone of duh.]

I was a dwarf once.

[Which, well. She has the height for it, at least.]

Wasn't as weird as I would have expected. Being humanoid helped, I guess.

Hah! Like that's a fucking job. Do you even know what it is you're supposed to do to "redeem" people? And who decides what counts as redemption anyway? This whole system's a scam if you ask me. Admiral shit for brains may as well flip a coin every time someone gets hijacked.

But sure, tell me allll about your stressful daily work as a warden.

Not stressful. Time-consuming.

Uh-huh. Didn't answer my question I see. Time-consuming cause you don't know what to do?

[Honestly, yes, sometimes, and the notable pause here probably confirms that.]

No, he doesn't tell us what to do, because he sucks as a boss. Coming back to life and getting deals - all that stuff's real. It's not a scam. But it's inefficient.

What's efficient then?

For starters? Clear-cut goals and graduation requirements. You can't tell me that wouldn't be useful.

What if you don't like the requirements?

Would knowing the requirements and hating them really be any worse than not knowing them and having to guess?

I mean. I guess not. But people might not be able to do them and then you just have a bunch of angry inmates to deal with.

Considering that people do graduate, that doesn't sound too likely to me.
