[Loki is sitting in his bed, lounging back with one arm draped across the headboard and one knee hiked up. In his free hand he's holding the communicator. He seems to be getting better with video feeds because at least you can see him this time.]
I wish today to speak of security. There has been much talk of late of ways to make life here more comfortable. I have seen mention of holidays, of designated meal times, and other ideas to give people a sense of structure.
[The hand draped across the headboard rises to scratch the back of his coif.]
What people are proposing may eventually lead to a rudimentary government. As we apply rules to life here we must, also, enforce these rules or our efforts would be for naught.
I am aware that there is already some manner of security force on the ship, but their actions are not currently dictated by any actual law.
Should law come about, what shall the security team then do? What would we consider a transgression here where life is ever at the mercy of machines beyond our control? And how would we punish such transgressions? Would we, as Miles proposed, bring our criminals to trial? Or would we have them promptly executed?

Of course they'd not be executed without trial. Why is that even a question?
[voice]
Some might find it preferable to simply kill the wrongdoers and remove them from the population for good.

Why would you execute someone promptly without proof?

[He lifts the hand on the headboard in a shrug]
It is not a view that I agree with but it is one possessed by some people in such desperate times so I must inquire about it.

So how do we define the word "we"? Who gets a say? Are rights limited according to species, perceived sentience, or just...whoever's got a tattoo on their arm? What if there's a disagreement about whether someone or something's alive or property?

Perhaps we should, rather, consider ourselves a crew in service to a kidnapping captain whom we know not running a ship that is beyond our comprehension as we sail to an unknown destination.

He's rigged this to ping back to some random person's communicator instead.]
Are you volunteering your services for this theoretical law making?
