Pairings 003

[navarch]

[At precisely 7 A.M. on the Peregrine's standard time, both CommLink screens and wardens' cabin control panels flicker to life with a live video stream.

Today the Navarch is at her desk. The tabletop is somewhat busier than usual, with stacked tablets and an empty coffee mug. She's crisp and to the point, perhaps a little more than usual, but with careful professionalism.

She speaks:]

Good morning, passengers. It is time for a rotation in the assignments. For the next thirty days, wardens will be the primary point of contact for their assigned inmate, and responsible for the inmate's moral development and well-being. Inmates are also permitted to live adjacent to their warden's quarters for the duration of the pairing, if the warden deems it appropriate.

During this particular period, we will also be testing the acquisition of limited files on inmates. Through their communicators, wardens will have access to basic statistics on their paired inmate, including simplified details of their crimes. Please use this information wisely.

Without further ado, here are the pairings for this month.

Warden Viktor, paired with Conner Jaskulski.
Warden James Barnes, paired with Jason Todd.
Warden Misty Day, paired with Malekith the Accursed and Amanda Young.
Warden Claire Fraser, paired with Silco.
Warden Grace Gibson, paired with Alex Mercer and Jeremy Pascal.
Warden Aki Hayakawa, paired with Ellie Williams.
Warden Lucifer Morningstar, paired with Rhys Strongfork and Travis Touchdown.
Warden Loki Odinson, paired with Theon Greyjoy.
Warden Alice Quinn, paired with Theodore H. Crawford.
Warden William Temple, paired with Jack.

As always, I will be available to wardens for questions and concerns by appointment.

Comments

voice, warden filter;

[grindset]

I suggest we share these temporary files among ourselves.

[System, what system. They can fashion their own system.

After a pause, he restarts his feed to add,]

Good luck, Warden Morningstar.

[dealwiththe]

If anyone wants to buy me a drink, it’s for a good cause.

j.barnes

[counterstep]

like there's anything strong enough here that could really help with that

[dealwiththe]

A devil can dream.

[counterstep]

you and me both pal

[helenite]

hav u guys tried ?

like here on the ship. or the planet. w the alien drinks

j.barnes

[counterstep]

likely would be useful to pool information we've learned outside of that too ( if they're doing tickets anyway. )
what we've tried for an inmate
what seems to work, what doesn't

we could all meet after new temporary assignments and share information in the warden command
easier if the exchanges are handled together and could maybe even help, if there are multiple existing perspectives the rest aren't aware of

[dealwiththe]

+1 👍👍

[grindset]

[Still voice, as his hands are busy:]

I was thinking the same... as well as storing this information centrally so any warden might access it at his or her own convenience.

[counterstep]

( bucky can't complain. viktor's got a nice voice. bucky just much prefers keeping his voice being recorded to a minimum. )

agreed

wonder if there's a way to set up a private warden only server for library materials
maybe something our metal feathered friend could facilitate?

[grindset]

Undoubtedly. —Provided he's allowed, of course.

[♡]

But I'm still learning my way around computers, so managing a, eh... a server... may be a task better suited to someone else. You likely know more about them than I do.

[Loki sounds casual, even if he rushed to respond to this as quickly as possible.]

Smart idea. I'll send mine along.

[Now to just hope Grace agrees and sends this "Jeremy" person's out as well...]

[grindset]

[Super casual, buddy, good job.]

Much appreciated. I'm looking forward to hearing more about your inmate... so far he seems to be adept at, eh... flying under the radar.

[He just learned that idiom. Fun.]

[shiftedshape]

Quite, and yet one of his crimes is stated to be the theft of an entire castle.

[He sends the file along.]

I haven't spoken to him, yet, but that'll be a fascinating place to start.

[grindset]

A castle.

[He's definitely looking at the file during this pause.]

These are still so brief. It would be nice to have some context.

[shiftedshape]

There's more in the full files, from what I understand. [It's not as if he ever saw his own. And his warden certainly didn't bother to read it.] But perhaps the idea is that we're meant to seek out the context by asking them directly.

Or maybe it's just meant as a warning for what they might be capable of. [Shrug.]

voice;

[helenite]

Is it weird if I want to ask first? Like, I know we'll probably all see them eventually —

Yeah, okay. Okay, it's weird; I don't think this even says anything important. Theo's middle name is Henry, and he didn't have a job when he died. The rest, I'm pretty sure he just tells everyone?

[grindset]

Unemployment. The worst of all crimes.

[This is so impeccably deadpan it's probably hard to tell he's kidding.]

It's a little weird to have access to these files in the first place, to be honest. I doubt anyone will look at you sideways for considering the privacy of those they concern.

[helenite]

Yeah, lock me up. It's - interesting, I guess? To see what they picked. Like icebreakers with more murder. Kind of makes me wonder what ours say.

[grindset]

You could always get yourself demoted and find out.

[helenite]

You just want to steal an ATV.

voice; hayakawa

[spanning]

It looks like the inmate who ambushed you has a history of that kind of thing. She used to be part of some kind of patrol?

[Things to ask about once they meet, which he's on his way to do now, anyway.]

[grindset]

[Well, now he stops what he's doing and looks at the CommLink. (Even though it makes no sense to do that for audio only. shh.)]

Some kind of patrol? No further details?

[spanning]

None. Well, it says she's retired.

[Which he sounds less perplexed about than he perhaps should; early retirement was standard in his field of work.]

I'll ask about it, though that doesn't guarantee I'll get a response.

[grindset]

Mm, you may not. Ms Williams has been stubborn so far... I gave her several opportunities to share the location of her contraband and she refused every one.

[Back to his pliers and wires,]

You can expect to be cursed at.
