Yes, thank you. The calls have been rolling in. Was anyone hurt?

Sam was injured in an altercation with her, but it’s wasn’t life-threatening.

I take it you’re getting to the bottom of whatever caused this outburst.

That’s my job. In two capacities.

Quite.

I’ve no interested in meddling in your business as far as that is concerned, but considering this is not the first time the dining hall has suffered damages in the last several weeks, I wanted to discuss restrictions with you.

Specifically pertaining to her access to the dining hall. Because of all places, the dining hall needs to be a safe for people to work and eat in.

[More flatly this time.]

Was anyone hurt?

[He doesn’t wait for the reply,]

She’s never done anything like this. If there’s an imminent danger she’ll start doing it again, I’ll restrict her from common areas. But she was clearly trying to work through something and if it was a one off reaction to pain that she didn’t know how to process, I don’t think it would be fair to restrict her access to the room where food is. But we’re not there yet either way. We’re still figuring things out.

Yes. Sam was hurt.

[ His response is equally flat. ]

And while I understand your position, you must also understand mine. Food service is thankless work as it is, and it is quite unfair to expect us to deal with feeding the entire ship and to deal with outbursts like these at the same time.

It is also quite unfair to expect the rest of the ship to feel less safe in one of the most used open spaces on this ship because she wanted to “work something off” through destruction of property.

The restriction I would propose to you is that someone accompany her - you or someone else you trust with her - when she comes for her meals. I am not banning her from the space, but until she is more stable, I do not want her causing further harm or damage.

You said Sam is okay. Maybe I should talk to him myself.

In the meantime? I’m not agreeing to any restrictions until I know more about it. Of course there will have to be consequences, but whether those consequences involve restricted movements will involve factors I haven’t fully investigated yet. So I’ll let you know. Though I expect having her make restitution for the damage she caused would be more productive than punishing her for it.

I said it wasn’t life-threatening. And you can speak to him as you like.

Though perhaps you aren’t hearing me correctly, Doctor Bright.

I understand you are invested in the welfare of your Inmate, but the safety of everyone who enters the dining hall and works there is my particular concern.

And I frankly find it absurd that you aren’t willing to concede to even chaperoning her.

I didn’t say I would or wouldn’t. I said I won’t agree to anything until I finish investigating. I won’t let her swan around the dining room or anywhere else if she poses a danger to the people there. But I won’t impose restrictions on her if there’s no need for it, like she’s more dangerous than any other inmate on board if that isn’t, in fact, the case. So we’ll see and I’ll let you know.

I frankly find it absurd that you want me to come to conclusions without all the facts.

There is no “if”, Doctor Bright. You are speaking as though she has not already engaged in destruction of properly and harmed someone in the process.

That moment has passed. If you are not willing to agree to chaperone her for a period of time on the basis of that alone, then I will see to it myself.

I’m not willing to agree at this time, but she’s also currently under supervision, so try not to lose any sleep tonight. It’s not like she’s going to set a guy on fire.

Wait, someone did do that, right? But I’m sure that inmate is under a Warden’s supervision at all times, though. They sound dangerous. To all the other people here.

Anyway, I’ll let you know the outcome of my investigation and until it’s completed, she’ll be under supervision.

I didn’t suggest putting her under constant surveillance, Dr. Bright. I asked you to take a simple measure and supervise her while she takes her meals.

And for the record - not that I suspect you actually care - Florian’s magic is restricted, and he was penalized for his actions. But apparently, a simple request to supervise her in the dining hall for other people’s sake is too much for you to handle.

So again- I’ll be looking into other measures on my own time.

Good evening, Dr. Bright.

[ And with that, he hangs up. ]

I never said ‘no’. I said I want to understand first so I can determine the most effective consequences. I find it appalling that YOU don’t want all the facts before you mete out restrictions. You can tell me you don’t respect how I handle this AFTER I decide how to handle it. Good night.
