1.1.01.01.020: Vulgar mispronunciations of everyday words will not be tolerated.

[needshumility]

[Filtered away from Victor]

To make you all aware, for the next few days, my inmate will not be able to see who he is talking to. So please don't get angry if he doesn't recognise you - it's deliberate.

I, on the other hand, will be able to see who everyone is. If you abuse him, or treat him badly, just because you think he can't tell who you are - I will know, and I will step in. It won't be tolerated.

[sigh]

I'd also appreciate it if you didn't all automatically identify yourselves, as it kind of removes the point.

[Warden filter]

Alright, I know there's a flood on and if anyone's not themselves and knows it... wait to respond?

I need your cooperation, on quite a massive scale, to be perfectly honest, and I need to explain what's going on:

I'm going to be restricting my inmate's journal access, probably tomorrow, but in an unusual (apparently) way.

I want to restrict him to text and make all replies to him anonymous (am I using that right?). It has a purpose, I swear.

The problem is that I imagine some people will take advantage of this to insult him. I will be watching these conversations constantly, and I will be able to see who is who.

But I'd appreciate it if you could discourage your inmates from, um, [there is no word for 'trolling' in his vocabulary] antagonising him just because they're anonymous. It's not really an opportunity for everyone to come in and say what they really think of him - but for him to talk to people without his prejudices am I using that right getting in the way.

I hope this works.

[Private to Sarah]

I'm especially worried about your inmate.

[Private to Victor]

Victor, as of tomorrow, I'm placing a new restriction on your communications. Only for a few days, maybe even one day.

This might seem harsh, but it serves a purpose, and is not a punishment. It has never been a punishment.

I'm going to make it so you can't see who's responding to you, and you will receive everything as text. I will not allow for people to abuse you, don't worry about that, I'll be able to see who's who and keep track of it.

[Private to the Admiral]

As of tomorrow, can you please make it so my inmate can only receive text - all other posts should be transcripted for him. Can you also make it so he can't see who is replying to him, but I can? Also, he should always be able to see me and talk to me, in any medium.

Make this last for tomorrow and Thursday. I... might ask for less, or maybe more time, it depends.

By all means, stand up to her. But use your words. She doesn't need anyone proving to her that we're nothing but violent idiots.

Try to be calm if you do intervene. She loses her temper fast, and I find you can keep control of how the conversation goes if you don't let her get to you.

....when in the taupe did I imply I would do anything but speak? I'm not a violent man.

I can keep my temper quite well. I'm forbidden from raising my voice usually. I haven't raised it once, and won't, not even to her.

I do not need to be reminded to use my words, thank you.

Usually, "not tolerating" on this ship means someone's going to get shot. I don't know you from Adam, Eddie. I don't know what you intend to do to my inmate.

Then you're all damn children, because you just talked to me like a child.

[Or, like the Collective talks to him, and that might just be why he snapped at you. Now he's seen the Previous, at least he can tell.]

...Right.

Are we done here?

Re: Private

Don't let her harm him again, that's all I really want in the end.

And yes, we're done.
