Jack Mercer? We spoke briefly once before. My name is T'Pol; I'll be your warden. I would like to met, and discuss what you'll be doing here.

[Private to Sam Winchester]

[There's just an indrawn breath before she changes her mind. Or realizes talking to someone who's probably still asleep is just stupid.]

[Private to Dastan]

I would like to apologize for my actions upon your arrival. We were under the affects of a flood at the time, and I was-- [she is so embarrassed and just sounding stiffer and stiffer] intoxicated.

Intoxication is no reason for pushing a prince to that point.

Good, Prince, put her in her place.

Unfortunately, your title will not carry aboard this ship, sir. You have my apology.

Then your apology will not carry.

That is unfortunate.

You're the Vulcan lady, right?

[He means no harm by it. A lot of people talked to him that day. He breathes out and there's a shuffle, like he's shifting.] Yeah, okay.

...Discuss away.

I am. [It's not like there's another Vulcan lady around.] You'll need a job while you're here. There's the kitchen, the infirmary, the library, the garden, the gym - do you have a preference?

Wait-

Hold on-

Why do I need a job?

Things need to be done aboard the ship, and it is a much preferable way to spend your days. I work in the laboratory; if you have any interest, you could work there as an assistant, as well.

I'm a better cook than anything else, so, I might as well sign up for the kitchen shift if I have to.

I believe humans are fond of a phrase about idle hands.

I believe Mister Maguire is in charge of the kitchen now; I'll discuss it with him, and find a shift for you.

If that doesn't work... I'm alright for the library too.

I'll keep that in mind, thank you.

If you find yourself needing anything, please inform me. I will do what I can.

What?

First you give me work and now you're a valet service?

I'm not impressed...

It was not my intention to impress you. I am your warden, Mister Mercer. It's my duty to help redeem you; and trouble frequently occurs aboard this boat. It's in our best interests to keep you out of trouble.

Jack. [He corrected with a placid tone.]

I know, I got it.

Redemption, floods, ports. What the boat's about?

I guess you could say I'm not excited about being a damn inmate or having to pay my dues for things that were justified.

Very well. [Damn first names asdfasfae. :|]

Perhaps you could explain that justification to me.

I'd need to know why I'm an inmate first.

Besides the whole... in the system, bad rep, worse neighborhood stint.

You assisted your brothers in murder.

Murder?

I know we dropped one guy from a four story window, but the others were gunning at us.

And you find that excusable?

Given the circumstance... yeah, I do.

Perhaps that is part of why you're here.

You stood by while your brothers killed others.

They spilled the first blood, lady.

As I said - perhaps you could explain that justification to me.

They killed our mom. We were just trying to piece everything together. It's a little harder when guns are being waved in your face or dogs are being set on you.

And the police could not discover the truth?

Cops are incompetent.

They must be in their position for a reason.

Yeah, if dick sucking counts.

Excuse me? [Jesus Christ, you humans and your slang.]

Those guys are all in it with each other. [SORRY T'POL. :CCC]

[She's just. Going to guess at meanings here. :c] You believe they're corrupt.

It's less of a belief and more of a fact.

None of the entire police force was trustworthy?

Not in my book.

I see. [That's translating as authority issues, Jackie. :|] So you saw your actions as the only possibility.

I see it as doing what I had to with what I had.

And that included allowing your brothers to murder others.

When someone has a gun in your face it's kill or be killed.

No middle ground?

Not in that scenario.

I see. [At least he's not a psycho murderer. :c]

Yeah. [At least there's that. :c]

[And after a short pause, cause pft she'll have to consider how to approach this,] My people believe in pacifism, but we are occasionally forced to take up arms.

I think no matter what you do. There's always going to be somebody picking a fight.

That much we can agree on.

Well, at least there's something.

Indeed.
