[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?

[No he doesn't]

[She has no idea if they do or not, nor does she care. This is all part of her programming: find common ground, worm your way in. It works better when you're not trying to manipulate Loki. Poor little cyborg.]
[Video]
[As he tries to weasel his way in right back]
[Video]
[Let the games begin.]
What were yours like?
[Video]
My memories of them are dark and fire-shot. They died in battle many aeons ago.
[Video]
[And with that totally heart-felt condolence delivered, on to a question she's been wanting to ask someone for years.]
How do you cope?
[Video]
There is mourning, then life goes on.
[The mourning would have been more genuine if Loki hadn't gone back in time to deliver his biological father to his worst enemy then hacked him to death with his own sword but, hey, nobody's perfect]
[Video]
But how? I think when my mother dies, my brother will never stop being sad.
[Video]
Are you concerned that something will happen to your mother?
[Video]
She's going to get cancer. It's going to kill her.
[Video]
[Video]
[She starts to say something else, decides it's too risky.]
Yes, it's going to happen.
[Video]
[Video]
[Video]
[Non-committal answers!]
[Video]
[They're so good at this!]
But it's how I know she'll die.
[Video]
[He frowns.]
Ah...but I suppose that is not the point. The knowledge of what is to come of your mother is still tragic. You have my condolences.
[But not really]
[Video]
What would you do?
[Video]
I do not know your family so I could not say.
[Video]
[Video]
The cause of grief and the means to soothe it vary from person to person.
What sort of person is your brother?
