Well... it appears we've had a couple of suicides.

I want to urge everyone to remain calm, and to not follow that example. We're all working on a solution. Please don't do anything drastic, and definitely don't hurt yourselves. Don't try to leave, either, because we don't know what's out there. But we can figure this out if we all try.

At this point it seems pretty likely that we're going to have a rash of new post-traumatic stress disorder cases. Would either of you be willing to help me set up a support group when this has run its course? If it runs its course.

Of course.

Thanks, Charles! [Because it's hard to teach people to get over PTSD if you're still working through it yourself.]

Things will work out, Mark. One way or another, we'll find a way to solve this problem.

I really hope so. I've never been in a situation quite this insane, and I've –– well, never mind.

Unfortunately, this is far from the worst thing the Admiral's ever put us through, regardless of who's in charge at the moment and how much of a hand he actually plays in sending us places.

But there's no reason for any of this to happen. This isn't like having to land somewhere in an emergency, this is an emotional outburst that's being treated as a policy change. This doesn't make any sense at all.

[wedonot]

I don't think so. If it's someone who's had to work under the system and just pretending to be the Admiral, maybe they just finally had enough.

That narrows it down but not much. Do you think this is someone who's got history as an inmate? This seems to be an act of desperation out of some kind of helplessness, that could explain it.

[Private]

[wedonot]

Possibly. Or an extremely disgruntled warden, or someone else entirely.

[Private]

[moreincommon]

Someone else entirely? What do you mean?

[Private]

[wedonot]

I don't know. It wouldn't be the first time someone stowed away and caused problems.
