[ Here, Barge, have Racetrack who has just woken up from being a Navy sailor and fighting pirates and seriously what the frak. ]

I am so confused.

[ Help. :c ]

Comments

[Private]

[landfall]

Warden.

Racetrack, by the way. Margaret Edmondson, but call me Racetrack. Why'd the Admiral pick a delivery boy? What makes you so special?

[Private]

[unknownsoldier]

Nice to meet you, Racetrack.

[Beat.]

I don't know, but I guess he thought I really needed a deal.

[Private]

[landfall]

Yeah, it's okay, I don't really know either. There wasn't much special about me.

[Private]

[unknownsoldier]

[Something else that she's said publically has attracted his attention.]

You've been in prison before?

[Private]

[landfall]

Yeah, actually. Tried to do what I thought was right in a frakked-up world and, surprise, it turned out pretty frakked-up. Who could've anticipated that?

[Private]

[unknownsoldier]

[Sympathetic noise, and then-]

Me too.

[Private]

[landfall]

What, the whole thing or just the prison thing?

[Private]

[unknownsoldier]

The prison thing, but I guess the whole thing applies too.

[Private]

[landfall]

Ah.

Well, that would explain it. I guess. Why we're here.

[Private]

[unknownsoldier]

I guess. I don't really know how I'd help someone, though.

[Private]

[landfall]

Really? You have no idea?

[Private]

[unknownsoldier]

Well, I've never boarded an interdimensional prison ship and been asked to rehabilitate somebody, so. No.

[Private]

[landfall]

But you must have some idea where you could help someone. Right? What kind of things you have an, I don't know, personal perspective on.

[Private]

[unknownsoldier]

Being in prison for doing the right thing, I guess.

[Shrug.]

[Private]

[landfall]

Or being in prison at all, while trying to figure out whether what you did was right and what to do about it.

[Private]

[unknownsoldier]

[For an instant, Zack's expression becomes intense, cold.]

He deserved it. I'd kill him again.

[Private]

[landfall]

What did he do?

[Private]

[unknownsoldier]

Hurt my sister.

[Private]

[landfall]

[ Without hesitation: ]

Then frak him.

[ She can't really say she would destroy anyone who hurt her family. Cylons did hurt her family. They killed her family. She's never going to get over that. ]

[Private]

[unknownsoldier]

[Grimly:] I did.

[Private]

[landfall]

I don't know if I'm suddenly supposed to be really good at telling right from wrong, now that I'm here, but if I found out someone in particular was responsible for my family dying, I would grind him into dust and set the dust on fire.

[Private]

[unknownsoldier]

We're on the same page, then. [He blew them up :|] I think protecting your family is right.

[Private]

[landfall]

Me too.

[Private]

[unknownsoldier]

Wonder how that makes us suited to being on the other side of the prison wall.

[This is a genuine question on his part. He's never been the guard.]

[Private]

[landfall]

Not a frakking clue.

I have this feeling I'd be more comfortable on their side.
