[Eddie has his stiff, formal tone on.]

It seems Tommy has left. I don't know if it's permanent or not, but all evidence points to permanent.

[pause pause]

We should make sure people aren't forgotten here. Somehow.

[pause, pause. He sounds like he going to say something else, then just... doesn't.]

He passed upon leaving the barge, I believe.

I believe that most are accepting of this. Sveta, I do not know. She is not well pleased, as is proper, but I believe that the others must know.

I would also like to hear your idea.

Oh. Why didn't he

Why do you believe that? I'm not going to stop you, Victor, I just want to know why.

Well, at home, we have a Wall of Merit, where everyone who has died, and contributed to the collective significantly, gets a little plaque.

I was thinking we could do a different version of that, where we could have a public board, and little cards, and people could write about others that have left. Only positive things - people can have their bitterness elsewhere.

They think him alive, but it is not so. It is a great dishonesty to deceive them with silence. I have done this too many times before.

Perhaps we shall make such a wall. Could you request it of the Admiral?

Why... out of curiosity, why do you think he didn't tell anyone? If you want to be honest, I won't stop you. Just please be very cautious how you word it. People could be really quite upset.

I don't need to request much, actually, except a noticeboard and maybe some magnets.

I should really run it past everyone else, though, as it'll be for everyone's use. And I'll have to... well, we can both keep an eye out for people writing offensive things.

They would have argued against it most fiercely, would they not? To let a man walk into the great unknown in such a fashion. It chills the heart.

Then in such a case, he will allow it?

Yes, this is true. The other wardens must agree and we must be watchful.

[long pause] Would you have argued against it?

I don't see why not.

Well, I'd like to make sure everyone knows about it. I'll probably get it approved by the wardens too.

I would not, had his mind been resolved. To avoid death in unnatural ways achieves nothing.

In such a case, I believe that we may have a plan.

Did you know he'd already died, then? I didn't know that.

I shall start on it promptly.

Sveta had informed me, although I shall not tell others of that fact.

Indeed. Thank you, for your assistance.

Oh. Is she alright?

...You didn't make her tell you or anything, did you?

I hope she is.

I did not! She gave me the information after I had discussed the Sergeant.

Oh. Well, that's alright. Thank you for being reasonable about it, Victor.

It is no problem. I am attempting to be more reasonable in all my encounters.

You're doing a good job, and it's very much appreciated.
