173 [Warden Filter]

[impure_tale]

I need a volunteer. Given recent events and the reason for which my Inmate is interred in level Zero, I am finding myself in need of time to recover and meditate. An interim Warden will be required. While Iago remains below levels for the next week, your services will not be needed. For two to three weeks following, however, they will be. If I find that I am unable to come to some...middle ground regarding what has occurred, then I will request that the Admiral find a permanent replacement.

If nothing else, I require a mediator, and perhaps some sound advice.

Good.

Don't presume to know me simply because we've worked together. I wanted revenge at the time, certainly, but I've calmed since then. I can be as rational as the next warden and I meant what I said about only wanting to see him punished. Did you miss the bit where I said I had no intention of doing anything stupid? You should understand what that means.

I'd not have succeeded as I have in our line of work if I was bent on revenge at every opportunity. Punishment is revenge enough, if the punishment suits him and isn't another one of those carbon copy jobs most inmates get because their wardens can't be bothered to think up anything.

I understand what you're saying, so hear me: I'll take a conflict of interest if I feel it's the way to get the job done any day while you sit back and drink away your frustrations with the incompetence of the others.

I don't know if you've noticed that the definition of "stupid" is wildly subjective, and if this is any indication? The way you were acting suspicious from the get-go, the way you've resorted to insulting my way of dealing with things because I had the goddamn nerve to call you out? Your definition of the word is different from mine.

So let me lay it out in plainly: you're too involved. Back away.

[And he's done here.]
