How can people be so idle when there is so much at stake at your inaction?

[It's quiet. The past jump has not been kind to Marius. In fact, he sounds positively unsettled, almost as if he needs to just go to sleep and not talk to the public at large, but he needs to do something and this is the only way he can make his heart less heavy.]

We are slaves here to the whim of individuals we cannot even see, to those we cannot even meet, and -- I cannot keep quiet about it any longer.

[He draws in a breath.]

I know there will be much discussion about why we are here and whether or not we can escape -- and I am interested in hearing all of that, but what I am more interested in is opinion. I want to hear what people feel about being here, be it anger or apathy, rather than the facts of our situation, for nothing has ever been changed with cruel numbers and statistics so much as heart.

[And he stills for a long moment before Marius shuts off the feed -- and, maybe twenty minutes later, he sends out a text.]

[Filtered Away from Enjolras]

What can be done about nightmares?

[ She hesitates, a little. ]

A few people have died. Some have been seriously injured, others have been thrown in the brig. [ A smile, brief and somewhat mirthless. ] The outcomes vary, but you get that little bit more wary when, for example, your boyfriend loses an eye because he disappeared for a month somewhere on the ship.

I don't actually know its exact location, though I assume it's not all that far from the passenger quarters? I could be wrong. [ She pauses, thoughtfully. ] Sorry, the layout of the ship is so huge that I still haven't quite wrapped my head around it.

As far as I know, it depends on what you've done. You're released once you've done an appropriate amount of time, though I wouldn't be able to tell you about the process itself. [ A moment, and then she goes on, ] Planning to get yourself into trouble?

While I'm sure people have varying opinions on what should constitute a punishable offence here, I hope at least most of us are willing to be be decent to each other. We get enough trouble from the ship, let alone from each other.
