[This whole post is backdated to after Slade's arrival post and this fight.]
Just a note for anyone who's missed this memo: people have contacted the Admiral about what happens to people who disappear before. He's said he doesn't control when they vanish any more than we do. I know we don't really have reason to trust his word on stuff like this, but I figured it's something worth hearing.
There have been plenty of tough cases who have graduated and a lot of crappy wardens who have overstayed their welcome, and the Admiral didn't get rid of them. It'd save a lot of time and energy if people could keep that in mind next time anyone starts making accusations that someone got kicked off because the Admiral gave up on them, or thinks they've been doing a lousy job.
[Filtered to the DC Wardens]
Slade's here. He was here before until about a year ago, and he was actually making progress by the time he got booted off the ship. [Sort of. He thinks. Maybe.
It's complicated.]
Try not to piss him off if you don't have to.
[Spam for Dean, after the fight]
[Dick wasn't overly pleased with how this had gone down. Bruce acting like a jackass wasn't anything new or unexpected, in so many ways, and he was an inmate. This sort of behavior was to be expected.
But Dean and Faith were wardens, and it always, always bothered Dick when confrontations between wardens turned into what was basically a playground brawl. They were supposed to be the role models here, and he got that both of them were upset, but calling names and intentionally looking to piss the other off was ridiculous. He might side more with Dean because he was his friend, and he didn't particularly like Faith, but they were both definitely in the wrong here.
He turned to Dean after the other two had left, expression and voice still level and serious rather than angry, and gestured for the other man to show him his injured arm.]
Let me see.

He should at least know what happens to them. He could tell us that much.
The most simple explanation is they go back to - to what they were doing, and - for Inmates, that means... [That means dying.]

...I know that's not his fault. But if he can do all of this - if he can restores their lives when they graduate, if he can fulfil all of our deals, if he can run this ship...
It just doesn't seem fair. [Of course, very little about the Barge does. She thought she was used to it.]

Thanks. So am I.
...Have you - had Inmates leave?

Dwelling on it...won't help Xen. [A wry little smile.] She'd probably find it ridiculous.
[She takes a breath, squares her shoulders.] And that's what I'm here to do. Help people. [There are more Inmates here who need someone to guide them, someone to advocate for them. Even if she doesn't get assigned for a while - she can still lend a hand.]

I - worry about that a lot, for some people. [Erik seems to be doing better, but at the end of the day he's still in a prison and she doesn't know how well that's ever going to work. Her time on the Barge has done Wanda more damage than anything. Morgana seems so bitter and hopeless.]

I don't know, like I said, for the most part, I think it's a good thing most of these people are here. If they're going to be running around causing harm to others, I'd rather they be here where people can come back when they're killed than back home where they stay dead. [Usually.]
But my first inmate was just an undercover Massachusetts State Police detective. The only crimes he'd ever committed were to keep his cover, and he definitely had problems? But they weren't issues that were going to be solved in an incredibly high stress environment. I'm almost surprised he didn't have a complete psychological breakdown.
