I've talked to a few of you about this, but all right. Question. People come here because they have to fix themselves, right? That's rhetorical. My real question is, do they actually deserve it or is it just because they can be changed?

We don't actually have that answer, do we?

[Inmate Filter]

Then, for you guys, is that change even helpful or would you call it harmful to your way of life? Whatever it was before. People make enemies, I know how it is.

[Kylar's around every early morning that the Barge isn't on fire or trying to rhyme and sing with itself. With the ka'kari back at his disposal he has a ton of practicing to do. Today's stunt, he tries to coat a training dummy with the ka'kari. Giving it a thick black metalic armor. He knows better than to attack it with Retribution, actually, the ka'kari warned him of that. There will be questions of Why later.

So he tears at it with a dagger attempting every move he can think of. But the dagger is taking far more damage than the ka'kari, in fact, the metal hasn't even dented. When he's done, he wills the ka'kari back into his skin. There's just one problem.]

You ate the dummy!

~Devourer.~

Stop it! I'm supposed to be keeping an eye on this stuff from people destroying it. Not destroying it myself.

~You never learn, do you? First, you complain when I don't obey, now you complain when I do. Which will it be next time?~

You weren't supposed to eat-

[Wait. Is someone else in here?]

It ain't about what's harmful or not. It's about the idea that we're supposed to change everythin' that makes us who we are to fit in with this ideal of what's 'reformed', of what makes a 'good person'. That's too wide a subject to subject folks lives to, I reckon. One person's idea of reform is probably different to someone else's. 'Specially considerin' the wide array of worlds and times we got represented here. What gives the Admiral the right to decide that?

[Kylar doesn't agree, but he can play along like he does.]

Besides whatever power he's used to drag us here in the first place? Nothing I know of.

Don't reckon it's anything anyone's heard of. Otherwise, we'd be outta here by now.

Suppose so.

Then what do you reckon makes a good person?

As far as I'm concerned people are people. They're not good or bad, they got qualities of both, and all that changes that are circumstance and choice on their part.
