...I'm afraid it's time.

I've made my arrangements, said many of my goodbyes. Tomorrow morning I will be departing this ship. Time, enough, therefore, that if anyone should want for me, they may find me in my cabin for much of the day.

I do want to say that I regret very little of the time I spent here. As an Inmate first and the person I've become since, I believe myself a testament to the good this place can do. I'm this way because of the help I received from friends and loved ones. I achieved this without strongly involving myself in the affairs of other Wardens. I treated my Inmates as I wished to be treated in return.

Thank you, all of you, and good luck to those of you that need it. Do your best. Try. Don't give up.

[Private to Iris]

I need a word with you, specifically. It's urgent.

I was never a Warden there. I cannot be certain communicators would not be tampered with to prevent such things.

I can remember hearing of at least one or two people from the other Barge making contact with someone here on those days, however.

Bianca signed on for a warden, same like me. Probably just never saw anyone she found interesting make contact, she always 'ad a very narrow view of what was worth 'er attention.

Mind you, I've got some ideas about that barge. I 'ope to leave my mark on it, next time we collide. If I can pull that off, it might 'ave some good results for everyone. Evil clowns and their molls excepted.
