097 - West? An opportunist? NAAAH.

It seems this change in leadership has led to a great deal of anger and... flailing on the part of the Wardens. There even appears to be talk of abandoning us because they will not be receiving their rewards anymore.

What a noble bunch.

Still, I notice the rest of us have been, for the most part, rather silent about the affair. I should hope it's because we are thinking, rather than complacent. After all, there must be a way to turn this to our advantage-- ideally, if we are all together on whatever we decide.

Given recent events, I'm not entirely certain what to make of this. Typically, a mutiny is something expected of, well, us.

I trust this will not trigger any negative memories for the others. If it does... I'm sorry.

[OOC: Yes, I'm trying to hasten him to his 100th entry :C And yes, he's probably going to pretend to be all BAWW TRAUMATIZED right now.]

Please don't judge all of us by the bloody foolish actions of those three.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

I don't, Rose.

So far, they haven't changed things for us Inmates, anyway. I'm curious to see the aftermath, however.

Trust me, I'm trying. I've got some pull with the wardens-I'm one of the better inmates. If you want, I can try to abuse that to get them to work,

That could prove to be very useful.

I've been trying to find information on these guys-check Tommy's post for more info. I know that someone posted information about Kirk and Han. However, most of the information seems to be 'just find the Master and ask how he got there'.

That's all we've come up with, as well. The problem is, he isn't particularly inclined to talk.

At least, not without force.

You know, now might be a good time to throw one of the other inmates off the barge-it'll definitely shake up things.

Private

[major-west.livejournal.com]

On the other hand, they may be extra vigilant regarding anything perceived as an Inmate uprising right now.

Whatever happens, we must plan carefully. We don't know how long we'll have.

Private

[lazarusrisen.livejournal.com]

I highly doubt that. Everybody's all up in arms about the wardens taking control-they won't notice two inmates pushing another off, especially if the one we push off is a quiet one nobody'll miss.

We won't have any time after this. Security will be beefed up insanely after the Captains get removed from control.

Private

[major-west.livejournal.com]

That's very true. But we throw an Inmate overboard, and then what?

The question is: what are our limitations? Are we united enough to make any substantial impact?

Inmate Filter

[quiteknavish.livejournal.com]

I personally am all ears, kind sir. Have any ideas thus far?

Inmate Filter

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Right now, merely opening myself up to suggestions from the rest of you. I'm interested in seeing what we, as a unit, are capable of right now.

I would rather stay somewhat on my fresh Warden's better side for now, however if you need a light foot I'm quite qualified.

Inmate Filter

[major-west.livejournal.com]

That's good to know; we may need you.

I remember last time you started talking like this. Didn't go so well.

Inmate Filter

[major-west.livejournal.com]

I'm not planning a bloody riot.

Inmate Filter

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

Good, 'cause you're not very good at them.

I got what I wanted out of the matter. Have you succeeded in staging something like that, just once, since arriving here?

Private:

There is a way, Major...

They are weak. Divided. Our release from captivity is only a matter of exhausting their patience.

Perhaps if we were to volunteer our services, we would gain the wardens' collective trust. Access to sections reserved only for the ship's personnel, by undermining their resolve.

Be efficient, Major...

Private:

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Not a bad idea, but they don't trust many of us right now-- at least, not those of us who were involved in the riot.

Re: Private:

[one-who-is-many.livejournal.com]

No strategy acceptable to you will succeed, without collective cohesion, Major.

This vessel provides only disappointment...

I'm not exactly happy about how this is going -- but I'm less angry than I was last night. I almost said a lot of things that probably would have been bad in the longrun.

And I saw what Lilah posted. I'm not abandoning my post, Henry. I just want you to know that. Even if what she says is true.

[Private]

[major-west.livejournal.com]

What she says is rubbish. All of you are overreacting.

[Private]

[gimmethemap]

And somehow I suspect that if we hadn't reacted you might have said we were letting Wardens get away with what we'd never keep quiet about if an Inmate had done it.

No, I just don't think mass screaming is terribly productive. And I trust Jack more than I trust the Admiral.
