[This is a tentative post, and Loki's voice has the faltering quality of a man who suspects he may be talking to himself:]

Admiral? There are questions I have which I do not believe anyone else here is qualified to answer.

First among which may be the most futile of them:

Are you listening?

[EDITED IN LATER: Public]

[Hey Barge, Loki is just going to make this conversation with the Admiral, fully public.]

I must indeed be becoming tiresome with my questioning today, because I have one more. This one for the wardens, for those of you serving this man willingly:

Why?

Yes, I have asked before, and yes I've heard answers. For your deal, for your inmate, for the sake of doing some good in the universe, but I wonder how you justify it to yourselves. To serve an entity who not only is little known, but actively refuses to surrender his intentions, the masters which he serves, or even the reward which he will reap for his work in controlling all of us.

I have been told by many among you that he is not a God, but what other beings deal in secrecy and souls?

Why are you content with this?

Prey tell me, that I might lay to rest my fears about what more this place is, than just a prison.

'What other beings deal in secrecy and souls?'

Well, there are Eternals, Chronovores, the Great Old Ones, the Guardians, Timewyrm, Fenric, and the occasional Time Lord president. And those are just the ones I know off-hand. Dealing in secrecy as they do, I imagine there are more in the universe who have managed to keep a low profile. But being a powerful entity doesn't make one a god.

Honestly, if I could go back and do it again, I think I'd rather take my chances with being dead that ending up here as some sort of cheap-ass, self-help psychology experiment.

That said, the Wardens are idiotic assholes. Nothing in the whole Goddamn world is worth having your identity played with.

[After reading the convo with the Admiral. Her voice is amused:] Dude, if you'd been nicer you might have at least gotten a cookie. Probably not answers. But apparently a cookie is just as good. [/Sarcasm.]

He could be a God, for all I know. Who else would find so much amusement in jerking people around, anyway? And I'm too used to people not giving their intentions. Not that I like it. But I'm used to it. My job back home is pretty much the same thing, to be honest. Serving an organization about which little is really known, et cetera, et cetera.

Which, uh, probably doesn't lay to rest any of your fears, actually, so... Feel free to ignore all of this? Heh.

It's not that unusual for greater beings than humans to deal with souls. Demons do almost by their very nature, and I've known angels and other supernatural creatures to do the same.

I came here because I was invited and I'm staying because this ship serves a purpose I believe in. I do wish that people who really don't want to be here could choose to have their deaths, instead - there's a lot I wish was different about the Barge. But nothing is perfect.
