002 ∞ ANONYMOUS TEXT POST
[Leoben has been letting most of his encryptions on the network, when he bothers to use them, hover at around an 70-80% effectiveness, and basing them off the work of others so as not to tip his hand too much. It's still early in the game, and he hasn't had any pressing reason to break out his real talents.
This post, though. It's sent to everyone, original crew included, but anyone trying to figure out what number it came from is going to be dealing with an absolute bastard of a coded encryption, full of traps and false backdoors, created by someone who's not only an AI himself but a specialist among AIs in coding, network jamming, and sabotage.
Of course, there are probably one or two people onboard who will guess immediately who it came from, but oh well. Leoben's annoyed.]
Being ejected out the airlock of a spaceship isn't all that fun a way to die. Take it from someone who knows.
If we're going to be talking about instituting a death penalty for crimes committed onboard, fine, although I'd rather restrict such a thing to crimes actually already committed, and committed here on this ship, rather than those that're just potentially maybe possible if we don't act now and preemptively murder them. But either way there are more humane - if you'll excuse the expression - ways to do it.
And if you've been making jokes about it because airlocking doesn't seem like a real threat to you, or you assumed it was some kind of clean and painless space death, please keep in mind that in some of our realities it was the customary method of execution without trial for political prisoners. If you're going to be funny, maybe you should mix in a few references to firing squads and mass graves just to keep it evenhanded.
You throw garbage out an airlock. That's what's being implied when you kill someone that way. And aside from everything else, it hurts.

So she sends one of her own, heavily trapped and encrypted as well.]
You're very good at this. Do people want to airlock you?
Anon text forever!
And thanks. You're not too bad yourself.

Anyway, I was getting tired of hearing it thrown around like a joke. When you and people you care about have actually had it done to you, it's not that funny.

[That, and he's still feeling the pangs after putting two and two together that Annie Cresta had gone and thrown herself out of an airlock. There's also that.]
Re: [text]
I'm not against there being some kind of plan in place in case someone does start killing or hurting fellow passengers. But I don't think we can make those judgments before the fact. People are coming from all kinds of different backgrounds, and what they had to do in their own world might have nothing to do with how they'll act here.

I'm sorry that happened to you.
Re: » text
It's great that we agree there. (Although I'd like to avoid "we all need to go" as a conclusion. I'm pretty sure you're just being rhetorical, but it's not that far from some of the things that happened in my own world.) I'd just like to have a better idea of what will happen in the case of a crime, and what constitutes a crime anyway, and how much input we all get into any of that.

If my life has shown me anything, it's that few people's hands are entirely clean of the blood of their neighbors. So we try to justify it by saying that someone didn't deserve life because they had sinned, because they were other, less than human, and that makes it all right to see them suffer.
