Forgive my recent silence, my fellow denizens. Somehow, in spite of everything, I have been somewhat "under the weather." It's taking quite the toll on my Renate, honestly, for I haven't really the energy to run with her at present. I'm feeling much better now, however. It seems, furthermore, that my relative absence has meant I have not provided sufficient occupation for all of my charges.

To my Inmate, you and I must talk and soon. Do not keep me waiting.

To the Inmate called Sylar -- I have this to say to you, without pretense or exaggeration: If I see or hear that you have been associating with mine again, there is not a single Warden on this ship, past or present, that will be fast enough to prevent my retort. Whatever advantage you hope to gain in soliciting him will not be worth the pain I bring upon you. Am I making myself perfectly clear?

[Annoyed, Iago takes up pacing again.] Yes, we spoke. He claims he wanted to help me. I don't want him to "help" me. He's not supposed to help me. He's supposed to be loyal and stay loyal.

He is your friend, not your servant.

He is my companion, not my warden.

And if you had agreed to murder this man, Iago? What if you had gone through with it, for whatever reason. Pretend, for just a moment, that this person had wronged you, or that for whatever reason you were indebted to Sylar and had agreed this would be what made the two of you even. Bearing in mind everything that would undo, between the two of us. Even just in yourself. Should Judas Iscariot still have kept his silence? Should he have allowed you to bring harm to yourself? Because until recently, that was all he knew.

He should have come to me first. And I would not have killed him for whatever reason. It is Sylar's blood I want.

No, Iago. He should not have come to you first because you should have gone to him first. [The Marquis stood.] You're angry with him for doing what he should have done in the Master's world. I certainly will not punish him for it. And as you have done no real wrong I will not punish you. [He pointed] But you will stay away from Sylar. You've lived on one side of this story already and you know how it ends for everyone, so do not pursue it.

[Iago nodded, not even trying to hide his defiance.] Fine. I'll stay away.

And mark my words, if something happens to Monsieur Iscariot over this, you will never forgive yourself, even if he does, and you won't deserve to.

I'm not going to harm Judas, Marquis. [He looked up to the ceiling, shaking his head.]

Now I've told you the story and you've issued your threats. Get out.

You already did.

[He shows himself out.]
