[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?

An' what be these crimes?
Video
To commit a crime one must break a law and to do such a thing a society needs laws to break. Do we currently have such security?
Someone could commit a vile act and go unpunished if the captain and his men do not step in.
[Not trying to put ideas into anyone's head except that he totally is.]
Video
It's happened before, mate. 'cept he was punished. Just not by the Cap'n.
Video
[An inviting gesture]
Explain.
Video
[He waves a hand.]
Not very well planned, didn't last more than a few hours. We got ahold of him an' threw him in the brig 'till the next jump.
Cap'n never showed once.
Video
[But Loki takes the information to heart...A mutiny's been attempted before.]
Video
Suppose if it had lasted longer. Or if there was more than one person was attemptin' it.
[Jack Sparrow is not planning on attempting mutiny again, what gave you that idea?
WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN?]Video
[Loki is planning one, too, Jack, don't join up with him! It'll be horrible!]
Video
Aye. That'd be the reason it didn't last more than a few hours, mate.
