either you die a villain or you live long enough to see yourself calling warden meetings

[omniavincit]

HOWDY EVERYONE (wardens) (sorry inmates you can go back to trying to concoct poisonous toothpaste), I come bearing an update on everyone's favorite piece of longform nonfiction, VOLK'S LIST. William contacted the Navarch about it and received the following response.

He'll be calling (and sigh reluctantly attending) a warden meeting. THIS TIME WE WILL HAVE MORE THAN ONE PERSON WATCHING THE INMATES DURING IT!! As far as meeting content: William would make a point of mentioning: everything pertaining to points 1, 2, 5, 6, and 7, and would encourage wardens to talk to the Navarch themselves, as well as ask their inmates about their experiences/what could be improved.

William will openly discuss a lot of this, but he's paranoid about some things and I'm a slow tagger, so if your char would be stalking the Navarch's inbox feel free to run with whatever strikes your fancy! It's all visible to wardens and there are a ton of hooks here, if it's something your char would be interested in, LIVE YOUR DREAMS (though please add a note here so everyone knows what's up/can plot with each other!).

William

[omniavincit]

Steps William will be taking (if you're on this list and would prefer to handwave something or hash it out here rather than play it out, comment and we'll do it! I don't want to hold anything up):

- He'll contact Volk and relay everything in the Navarch's message
- He'll be posting soon (Monday???) soliciting questions inmates have for the Navarch
- He'll contact Alice and Aki (his fav disaster-causers) about the emergency access button for the infirmary, asking them to think of worst-case scenarios and probably asking Alice to be in charge of its implementation (or...lack of implementation) (he will avoid asking Claire until the very last minute because he doesn't trust her—oocly I'm totally fine with her finding out or other interested chars trying to influence people, doing research, dismissing the idea outright, etc! It's all good)
- He and Grace will attempt to break into one of the unoccupied cabins...it will go wrong...just how wrong TBD


AND SOME MISCELLANEOUS LOOSE ENDS WILLIAM KNOWS ABOUT thanks to the rng gods giving him access to both Rhys and Travis' comms while they were in solitary:

- He knows Silco gave a shiv to Travis and is 99% sure he was trying to provoke a Rhys-Travis rematch when he did it (William will be telling Grace about this)
- He knows Volk was supposed to be part of the port heist (and planned/coordinated it to some degree), he's talking to Volk about this and depending how that goes may speak to Waver

[grindset]

Viktor's suggestion for the Infirmary panic button, should he become aware of it at any time: rig it up to alert every warden's CommLink the instant someone requests emergency access, both to keep everyone aware and to (ideally) discourage inmates from screwing around with it. (OOC it is also a way to piss off every warden at once and/or draw attention away from coordinated hijinks.)

He may also bring up—or more likely encourage Alice to bring up—the idea of contriving some shared purposes/objectives for the inmates when there's nothing else really going on (and wardens too, why exclude anyone). Something in the spirit of Chores But That's Boring And Belittling So Not Only Chores. He would not suggest stupid team building exercises but I might be suggesting stupid team building exercises. (He was going to raise this with William directly at some point.)

V would also volunteer to ditch this meeting and instead observe inmates. Look how responsible, so selfless, wow

Loki

[shiftedshape]

Loki will look relieved at how thorough and thoughtful the Navarch's response is. :T But he may vaguely indicate he's planning to talk to the Navarch at some point anyway. Just. Gotta. Get up the nerve to have yet another purpose potentially turn out to be bullshit. Sigh.

He'll note that visiting inmates' worlds for observation purposes is something he can assist with. Invisibility, glamors, etc. He can get you in and out of there no problem (probably).

As noted under Viktor's thread, Loki will suggest remote opening of the infirmary doors over blanket access, not that that's necessarily any less chaotic.

(Also, this is a good time for anyone who's made the connection between Loki and Malekith to poke him about that.)

UNRELATED TO ANYTHING ELSE IN DISCUSSION because she has nothing else useful to add that hasn't already been covered by people more clever than she is:

Grace would like to quietly suggest that someone with the know-how should please fix the Destroyin' Stuff Machine so that it actually functions whenever it inevitably becomes necessary. Because you never know and the idea of being caught unawares and having to fix it last minute to destroy, idk, some kind of Incredibly Contagious Fungus or something before it escapes and infects the entire ship somehow is something out of a sci-fi movie and she's already having enough trouble sleeping at night.
