ten; video + poll

[ Roslyn is behind the camera again, face stern, Vennett & Lowell seated just behind her. She’s looking as calm and professional as she can, though traces of exhaustion are seeping through regardless of her best efforts. ]

I’m going to make this as brief as possible. We do not have laws governing the actions undertaken recently by people currently in custody. While hopefully there will shortly be a fuller code of conduct, we cannot apply it retroactively. I do not have the resources to keep anyone locked up indefinitely, nor can I provide a fair trial, and it would be morally suspect to do either in the current environment.

I believe there is a solution to this, one that several others agree with, including Lowell Orwin and Vennett here with me, both of whom were held hostage by these people and have a fair amount of insight into their mindset. However, given that you will all have to live with it as well, I’m going to bring this solution to general consensus.

Under this arrangement, as a first part all current prisoners will be released into the custody of someone who will agree to monitor their actions and ensure that they are not able to plan anything further. These parole officers will either be volunteers from the general population or police officers if necessary, and all will be very carefully vetted. If it is necessary we will ask them to submit to a brief telepathic scan.

The second part of this arrangement would be undertaking a set amount of missions under the supervision of Orwin and Vennett with the goal of putting forth effort into our return to Earth. I am assured that they will be doing real work that will benefit us all.

This is the solution that I and others hope will work best for everyone involved, as well as free up resources to continue working towards getting off of this base and setting up an actual system of leadership.

While Jesse Pinkman was not a member of this, as he has given back all powers taken he would be released under the same conditions.

This is being presented to you all as, essentially, a poll. That is the first option. The second option is ‘other’, and if that is your answer I must insist you provide a fully thought through and careful plan that does not simply consist of ‘strand them somewhere’ or ‘airlock them’. Should enough support be shown for a provided 'other' plan over parole, it will be considered as an option. 

Thank you all for your time. I hope this will be resolved very shortly.

[ And cut. ]

What does that mean? Until the U.E is defeated or another set of criteria is met?

As much as I'd like t'think that aint a long off goal... I aint neither that idealistic or as cruel.

Nah, I was talkin' on what we got shipped all t' way up here. Avertin' the strike. [And that's probably as directly as he's going to talk about the death of Exsilium, current situation as it is or not.]

I see...

[Still that's a vague time point, who knows how long it will take to accomplish.

And... given what has already seemed to have been changed is it even possible to return Exsilum to the way it was?]


I was thinking more like we set a minimum term and add to it depending on evaluation from observed actions and behaviour, particular from the parole officer assigned to them.

You got an idea on that?

[His voice has a weary tone to it. If it was as simple as it just being about the mutineers acting out, but keeping others from killing them was a hell of a complication.]

Not much more than what I just said. Whatever helps resolve this in a way that's agreeable to everyone.

[Agreeable to most is what is meant though, there'll never be a decisions to satisfy everyone.]
