Iago.

(ooc: The Marquis brought Iago back to the Barge -- and as soon as they were off the main deck he promptly started wailing on him and had to be bodily removed by Spock. This is hours later, after he's had time to calm down.)

Keep it private or I will not speak.

When we arrived, it was nothing but...a colony planet. I think that is what it was called. There were people, but, well, they were not the same people we knew.

I cannot be sure, but I think that Harry didn't think that we would be there with him. He didn't care too much, though, and started to take over. Judas and I...we simply followed along at first.

In the next three days, I expect written detail about what you can remember of the first three months, we'll say. I don't expect you to remember everything, but deeds that were done, things that -- linger. Write them down.

In the meantime, I spoke to Judas when he was out hanging fliers. Late the night before, or early in the morning -- whichever you prefer. You were making trouble -- trouble enough that my Item reacted.

What were you doing?

Deeds that were done? Marquis, if you are searching for crimes committed, you will find none then. In those first months, Judas and I were too much...out of our own range of knowledge and experience to understand much. Even now, I do not know what Harry was doing.

As for that night- I was out scouting the Barge with one of my officers.

And then you did what?

We were ambushed. They killed him, but I was able to escape until they moved on.

If you're going to lie to me, Iago, this punishment is going to last a good deal longer than a week.

What do you think happened, Marquis?

I think you'd like to be alone this week more than you're letting on.

Don't play games with me.

Don't use him as a threat.

You know what happened. Why even ask me?

Because if you cannot say it to me then we truly have lost more ground than I first feared.

Do you want me as your Warden, Iago?

I want no Warden. I do not want to be back here.

The sooner you graduate, the sooner you can leave.

Now answer my question. Do you want someone else?

Do you want another inmate? Is that why you are asking?

You would like to be rid of me, hm? Then you would not have to...make up all of that lost time. Those three years that were stolen? Is it too hard?

I don't want another Inmate. But I cannot help you if you do not let me help you. You know this.

What do you want from me?

Tell me the truth.

I shot him for being a traitor. Military discipline, you understand.

Shot who?

My officer.

Does he have a name?

After the Barge crashed, I believe he went by Sexby.

Spare me the apple polishing, Iago. You use things like that, perhaps because you wish to show you don't really care, but I know better.

I told you the truth, didn't I?

Yes, but you did it in a mendacious way. You're tiptoeing around something.

Why would I do that? I am not hiding anything. Not from you, at least.
