buywithme | 169 - CONCERNED ABOUT THAT WHOLE ZERO BUSINESS.

Comrades, I'm concerned about the deterioration of the conditions in zero. Having seen some of the outcoming transmissions from inmates [Thank you Sandoval...], I don't feel that we can accept it as a safe or correct way of restraining anyone at the moment, and I'd like to suggest that the current occupants are relocated under guard.

[There's a short pause, then he frowns,]

Ah, am I correct in assuming that they're all basically different varieties of homicidal teenagers at the moment? Would any wardens be willing to contribute their time or their resources to temporarily guarding them elsewhere? Until either their time is served, or the Barge... escalates to a point where we need to occupy ourselves in some other way?

[Because let's be real, Comrades, it's going to get worse before it gets better...]

...Or we could just give 'em lots of blankets an' chilled drinks?

From:

buywithme

I was originally going to suggest blankets, but the problem is more that it's unpredictable at the moment, Sister. Right now it's fluctuations of heat and cold, next it could easily be something worse. I don't think it's a gamble we should be taking.

From:

Temporary relief from the weird weather is better than none at all, isn't it? If the situations change, we can get the blankets back. It's not like they can use those to escape.

It sounds like leaving them there edges on cruel and unusual punishment if we know this is going on and don't get them out.

Could we lock them up in some of the empty cabins instead?

From:

buywithme

I was thinking of that, but I'm not certain that the empty cabins actually lock? I think it might be more a case of needing someone to guard them...

From:

hunt4commonwealth

I'm happy to volunteer for guard duty. And maintenance might be able to fix up a few emergency bolts, or even a simple bar over the door, and then take it all down when the situation in Zero is fixed so that no one can take advantage of them later.

I would be capable of magically locking them within empty cabins or another secured area, provided there are no objections.

[ The benefits of having a magical Key. ]

Is there a record of any part of the Barge ever behaving in such a manner?

From:

buywithme

That...

[HMMMM. MAGICAL LOCKING, YOU SAY?]

...Could I ask how the magical locking would work? In the event of a fire or some other kind of hazard, would there be an easy method of release available?

And not like this exactly, but it has changed before. There've been times when individual floors have taken on specific traits and changes in design to make them more dangerous, and times when the heat, light, and power have all drained.

It usually doesn't end well.

From:

magisterus

[ YES, INDEED. Magical locking~ ]

The primary method of release would be 'unlocking' the magical lock in place -- I would have to be present for that, or a key would have to be made to release the locks on the doors.

I expect there should be a Warden on duty regardless so the Warden in question would have to be intrusted with that key.

[ As for the rest...hrm. ]

...I see. I do believe you're correct, in that case; it does not seem feasible to leave them in a potentially dangerous situation.

Yes, people are working on it.

No, we don't have a plan otherwise for the pack of crazies.

Yes, I'm aware I don't have the authority to say boo about the back of crazies.

No, I don't think they should be kept down there until we figure out why the ship is moving systems like a Rubic's Cube does colors. I'm sure there's got to be a way to house arrest these crazy kids, right?

From:

routemistress

You're always worth listening to, chuck, never mind authority. I'm glad someone's workin' on it.

From:

megamind

Well, uh, thanks.

From:

buywithme

How is working on it progressing? I didn't know that science could explain the Barge...

[Spoiler alert: Prefect does not know jack shit about any kind of science ever ever ever.]

I'm talking to a few people about maybe moving them into some empty cabins. Hopefully we'll have an actual plan in action soon.

From:

megamind

It can't a lot of the time. But right now we know that there's no access panels in the Zero itself, so were working through other ways to find out why it is being weird.

If the magic route doesn't work [and Rex is a bit skeptical about it on principle.] we could always try installing locks on the doors, ourselves. Something that can only be opened with the right pass code, for example.

[Technology fixes everything.]

That's an excellent idea!

[Pauuuuuuse.]

Actually, I just had a thought... What do you think would happen, if someone arrived on the barge while there was an inmate already magically locked in their Cabin?

From:

requiresssacrifice

I--

I guess they'll find themselves with an extra guest in their room? The Admiral would do that, too...

If the magical locking wouldn't work I can work up some carded ones. Wouldn't be too hard to keep an eye on 'em with guard duty.

From:

buywithme

We're going to wind up with better locks on our doors than the real zero.

It's more deciding where we could hold them that I'm struggling with now. People sometimes arrive into empty rooms...

From:

most_feared

The warden meeting area doesn't get used too much and has restricted access. And if you got forcefields instead of walls, it'd do in a pinch. Especially with a limit of seven days.

From:

tolaywaste

I'm willing. I've been willing. Any other volunteers?

From:

buywithme

Agent Kay and Dylan Hunt have both volunteered. I'd be willing to as well, so we can get a shift pattern in place, if we can find somewhere to hold them...
