We're wardens. It's on our heads regardless. He's going into time out because you need a break from him, not because either of us believes it's going to stop him.

[And there's no shame in that, better to take a break than to snap. But Lark isn't going to pretend that this is for Trevor's sake.]

So when you let him out of Zero, I'll sit on him for you.

Don’t insult me, Lark. It’s not because I need a damn break. I sat on John Seed for weeks and was fine.

It’s because he’s dangerous, and we need more people than just you or me to sit in him.

And putting him in time out until we have more people on board is the best solution there is right now.

[He's zero percent convinced, Zack. Trevor is not going to be less dangerous once he's out of Zero. You're very noticeably angry; you need a break.

But again: arguing is nowhere on his list of things that need to be done.]

I don't have an inmate, and I don't particularly care if dinner is fed every night [lazy motherfuckers can go hungry ever now and then] so again: I'll be his constant companion once we figure out some post-port issues. One of his companions. We'll get a rotation going.

Who did he attack?

[colorofthesky]

[ He might not be less dangerous after being in Zero, but he can't hurt anyone WHILE he's in Zero, and that's the point of all this.

Zack scoffs. ]

Wow, yes, that sounds loads better. Sitting on one idiot is definitely more important that making sure the rest of the ship gets their meals, especially after a food shortage.

[ No skimping on dinner, Lark. ]

He attacked Godric and Laszlo. Godric said it was right after he arrived so probably in the same timeframe as the incident with Jon. Laszlo got staked in a wing during the port. I'm trying to get more details on both things, but since he's probably going to take a swing at me when I go to get him, if you want to get his side of things later, I'm going to leave that to you.

Sitting on one idiot who is such a big problem he has to be locked up.

[It's been over a year since he had a client, had to dig for details, had to push for someone's rights. He is so tired and so invigorated at the same time.

Maybe because none of his clients was ever as wild as Trevor.]

I'll interview him. I'll go down to see him in Zero after I finish prep here. Then I'll submit both incident reports at the same time. [Wait. Not both.] All the reports.

[colorofthesky]

Yeah, well, once I have the logistics figured out, I'll be making a request to the Admiral too.

[ Grumble grumble. ]

Better you than me with the reports. I hate paperwork.

[ukan]

That's why God invented lawyers.

[He doesn't love paperwork but he is well-versed in it.]

What request?

[colorofthesky]

Something to keep him from starting trouble.

Not sure if the Admiral actually does these kinds of requests, but maybe have him turn incorporeal every time he tries to fight someone.

I just need to figure out specifics outside of that…general idea.

[ukan]

He does. [Aw shit has he really never talked about this...]

He grants creative disciplinary requests. I've seen manipulative people spit up bugs instead of misdirections, so they could learn to be honest. I've seen someone turned into an animal to keep them from violence.

Becoming incorporeal is an excellent idea. It protects both parties.

[colorofthesky]

Good to know. I’ll get back to you after I bring him in.

I’m pretty sure he’s going to attack me, but now’s as good a time as any to assess how dangerous he really is.

[ukan]

Godspeed. I'll interview him once he's secure.

[colorofthesky]

[ A few hours later. ]

He’s all yours now.
