[Have a Morgan with her hair cut ridiculously short. Looking very unhappy.]

The goddess' Warden? Whichever Doctor you are -- I don't know how you tell each other part. I want you to know that there are Wardens who are raising their Inmates right now. Because some crazed gods ripped their hearts out of their chests. Or beheaded them.

Some had their bodies stolen and violated. Some of us as well.

You enabled it. You're responsible, and you are dead to me.

Are you all right?

Yes. He gave her the ability to bring them here. BRAVO.

I wasn't talking to you. Piss off.

[doctor-scarf.livejournal.com]

Technically, you are talking to me, so I have a right to defend myself. Every warden has made mistakes before. You cannot rehabilitate someone just with empty promises. You have to actually take a leap of faith every now and then and hope it pays off. And we have yet to see whether this leap of faith has paid off or not.

Besides, wasn't your inmate the one who started up the riot a while ago? With that in mind, I don't think you can talk about being responsible.

[gimmethemap]

Oh FUCK YOU.

I didn't hand my Inmate weapons and tell him to use them, and I NEVER failed to stand up and admit when I made a mistake by him. That incident ended in not even a FRACTION of the death and injury your older self caused! So don't you DARE tell me how much room I've got to talk.

[doctor-scarf.livejournal.com]

This incident just ended. My future self is recovering from being possessed and Coyolxauhqai is recovering from the death toll. I think he has some priorities over apologizing to the Barge for what happened, just to make everyone feel better. What happened, happened and there's nothing you can do about it. Let him do his job, and stop questioning it. And as for the former? He didn't tell her to go call her family, that was a conscious decision that Coyolxauhqai made on her own.

Though, I have to wonder: do you want an apology from him, or are you just out for blood? Because I guarantee hurting my older self or Coyolxauhqai won't do you any good in the long run.

[gimmethemap]

Who said anything about blood? I've said my piece. Whether he sees it now or later, I don't care. It should be said.

I'm not going to hold anyone's hand and tell them nothing is wrong when there is wrong and they have no one to blame but themselves.

[doctor-scarf.livejournal.com]

Right, because yelling is going to make this run so much smoother. Because telling someone that they're dead to you is going to help you out so much. Yes, that incident was wrong and could have been avoided. But he had reasons for giving Coyolxauhqai her power and I'd like you to at least acknowledge those reasons, whatever they may be. Some times there are little hurdles on the way to graduation. The last thing Swing ever did before graduating was kill a man, and yet that provided what he needed to graduate. For all we know, this may just be a hurdle for Coyolxauhqai.

Besides, can you honestly say that this is the worst thing that you've been through since you came on the Barge? You're just in a state of shock-it's a normal annoying human reaction.

[gimmethemap]

You're the last person I expected to hear making excuses for murder. I guess it really is different when you're the one in the crosshairs.

Just -- don't talk to me anymore. It disgusts me.

[doctor-scarf.livejournal.com]

I was the warden of the Borg Queen during her takeover of the Barge. I'm not making excuses, I just know what it's like to be scrutinized for something you could not prevent.

I can say the same thing about you, Miss Adams.

[gimmethemap]

I remember you were her Warden, and I remember you telling me that it was wrong no matter what. Forget what good that might have done me.

So again -- it's okay when it's related to a version of you, but not for anyone else.

[doctor-scarf.livejournal.com]

It obviously didn't do you any good as you killed my inmate while she was in Zero.

[gimmethemap]

It gave me exactly what I needed.

[doctor-scarf.livejournal.com]

And what was that, filling your sense of revenge? A sort of accomplishment? It filled your bloodlust? Whatever it is, it hardly did you any good.

[gimmethemap]

You wouldn't understand. You can't understand.

[doctor-scarf.livejournal.com]

Why, because I wasn't assimilated? Because I'm her warden? Because I'm not human? I'd love to hear your reason, Miss Adams.

[gimmethemap]

Another time, Doctor, but not here. I've got other matters to handle.

[doctor-scarf.livejournal.com]

Like what, finding someone who won't question your judgment?

But all right. I'll respect your decision. Another time.

[gimmethemap]

Would you like for me to check on my Inmate and calm down or do you want to keep fighting? I can do either.

[doctor-scarf.livejournal.com]

Check on your inmate and calm down...

[gimmethemap]

Thank you.

[doctor-scarf.livejournal.com]

We'll finish talking later.
