[ 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.

What you're shy all of a sudden

Let's hear em

[freezerburned]

hah. id rather not be put in prison for the rest of my life for breaking an imaginary law but thanks

[hostage]

Pussy bitch

[freezerburned]

yeah because nothing says big strong man like taking power away from a helpless woman and then hiding behind the police force for protection when people get pissed at you

[hostage]

You think either of them ladies is helpless then you're completely retarded

[freezerburned]

right. im sure she was orchestrating a massive prison break and youre the only one that saved us all from the wrath of one girl

[hostage]

Fuck knows if she was or wasn't but Tempest could wipe the floor with me in a second, powers or none, you say any less and you're totally disrespecting her

[freezerburned]

if youre going by that logic you should just take the power of everyone else in this base

[hostage]

Literally the opposite of my point

Let me spell it out for you since you're a dumbass:

If Tempest was mad about me doing what I did, she could get back at me without your pussy bitch ass playing Prince Charming

[freezerburned]

im not doing this for her idiot

maybe the problem here is that youre a crazy asshole who needs to be dealt with, tempest or no

[hostage]

Yo you know I been here like more than a year right

If I was crazy or looking to chase down pussy bitches just cuz I feel like it I would of been put down a long time ago

Tempest and Max know why I did what I did and even if you don't like the reason there was still a REASON

[freezerburned]

obviously. i was here a year ago

and i know the reason, dipshit. do you want me to bold it for you? this is not about tempest. its about you

[hostage]

Oh my god seriously you still don't get it

THE POINT IS I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOU OR ANYBODY ELSE

DON'T FUCK WITH ME OR MY PEOPLE AND I WON'T TAKE AWAY THE SHIT YOU USED TO FUCK WITH ME OR MY PEOPLE

It is actually that basic

[freezerburned]

youre so aloof that youre butting into conversations im having with someone else

and thats why you should be locked up in chains for the rest of your miserable shitstain of a life here. you dont get to make that call. do you think anyone was happy with what you did? do you think anyone said 'yeah jesse thanks for avenging me that was a totally rational reaction'

cause i really freaking doubt it

[hostage]

Really I deserve to be locked up forever cuz I interrupted you on the internet

That's how crazy I am I interrupt people on the internet

Hate to blow your freaking mind here but yeah I actually kind of sort of figured out by now that people are fucking pissed off at me, Steph included

The other thing I figured out after doing this LITERALLY ONCE IN THE WHOLE YEAR I BEEN HERE is: DON'T DO IT AGAIN

[freezerburned]

you deserve to be locked up because youre a liar and youre too much of a liability

really you deserve worse but hey, in the spirit of finding justice here im okay with the alternative

[hostage]

Bring it or quit your pussy bitching

You think I like this babysitting bullshit?

I'm from the Wild West we settle our justice on the streets

Come at me if you think you can take me

[freezerburned]

bitching is supposedly what everyone is trying to do to get some justice around here

but seeing as how thats not gonna happen

time and place

[boughtabookstore]

stop this immediately

[freezerburned]

you seriously expect me to back down

[hostage]

Like I got any freaking control over time and place anymore

[freezerburned]

then ill see you when you get out of prison

[boughtabookstore]

Jesse, you are aware that if you're actively setting up fights on the network letting you go becomes much more complicated, yes.

[hostage]

He won't do anything

He's just gotta let off steam

[boughtabookstore]

Don't be quite so certain. And regardless, this in in public. You need to not be threatening to fight people quite yet, please. This is all very much a work in progress.
