I think it might help both of you to find out what his deal is. Hell, I need to know what it is now. [Lark isn't the most morally flexible warden on board anymore? He's actually quite pleased about that.]

I won't tell you to have faith in the Admiral. I'd caution against it, to be honest. But I do believe Kirei is here to find another way to get something important, and that something isn't more war crimes.

Don't forget, Archer has an advantage here that he wouldn't at home: Kirei is here because he's unable to get whatever he's after on his own. He has chosen the Barge because it's either the fastest route, or it's the only route and he's desperate. And the only way he gets to move forward is by learning to help someone.

I don't trust the Admiral with anything. Not anymore.

I am worried about the learning to help someone. The ones here without a deal do not deserve to be fodder for a warden to learn how to be a good person.

But - [And here's a sigh.] I suppose then it becomes our job to offer our own help.

I'll stay involved with him. I planned to anyway, I think all new wardens could use a more experienced hand to help them get settled. I'll let you know if something comes up that we should jump on.

Good. I'll do what I can from my side, as well. I think it will be beneficial to have someone there, too.

Watch out for the more religious inmates. There have been an influx of religious figures on board.

I'm going to warn Nadja and Lazlo, only because of their unique weaknesses against religion and give them nothing more than that, but I don't sense a need for anything widespread.

I went my whole stay as an inmate without religious figures around and now they make up a percentage of the Barge. [It's nuts.]

I haven't heard from Archer in a while. Should I approach him about this or let him come to me?

No. Let me see if I can convince him to talk to you. I need to...confess that I've spoken with Kirei anyway.

[Whoops.]

How did the talk with Kirei go? In general terms if you don't want to give specifics.

[For example:] He seemed very restrained when I met him. He's aware of the...anger, I suppose? that's in his soul but he was willing to be ruthless with it to hold it back.

We spoke mostly about religion. His religion and the ones I knew in the past. He gave me the impression that I passed onto you and - that's what concerned me.

I expressed my concerns to him in general terms and he was slightly defensive, but I talked him out of it, I think.

I kept trying to remember that my interaction with him would be tainted by what I already knew of him, and, while it might give me an advantage over him, that would hardly be fair.

When someone might use undead children for their own gain, fair isn't something I'd worry about.

But from the moment he arrived here, he became a different version of the man Archer knew. The last thing Archer needs is to inadvertently make Kirei into the man he knew.

I know.

That's what I'm worried about but that is not a conversation I am willing to have right now.

All right.

Well I'll keep you up to date.
