Can I count myself among the probable many who are not shocked this last disaster was mostly averted by the efforts of Inmates?

Honestly, in a legit prison where death is permanent? The Inmate in question would be sleeping with one eye open and waiting for the knife in the dark after a stunt like this. Prisoners take care of their own, and disruptions to the system that they use as much as the wardens do? Guy'd be lucky if he wasn't in PC the rest of his days-- if he made it to PC.

It's only here where the fact a warden needs his deal does the little vermin come back and get the opportunity to do it again. In the name of "redemption". Or a deal. Whichever way you want to look at it.

I mean, I see his point. Not the inmate who killed everybody, the OP. There's you who ran around delivering cures to people and there's the texting monster who outed the inmate responsible, and while I'm sure nobody was sitting on their ass where this was concerned, generally people don't like people who rock the boat like this.

Crazy Stabby Inmate's going to get his ass handed to him and I'm not too concerned. I know if I saw him I'd deal him back, I don't give a fuck about Zero.

Also, would you fucking relax with Iris, half the shit she says she doesn't mean.

[megamind]

Crazy stabby inmate is going to regret a lot of things. [ he shrugs once ] But that's not my problem.

As for Iris-- if she can't say what she means, she should shut up.

[mistconduct]

What IS your problem?

Aaand this is where all the people with common sense bow out of the argument before I say something to piss off either one of you.

[megamind]

You, have common sense? Pull the other one, kid.

[mistconduct]

Oh my god you're hilarious.

[megamind]

Anyway; an inmate caught a fellow inmate, and other inmates saved everyone from becoming a frothing mess.

Though not without help. Credit where credit is due; Kozak's warden got us into the labs with his keys, Toshiko Sato got us access to what we needed-- otherwise we would have simply sat in the bar while everybody else lost their minds or died.

And that's why I'm angry. Because not only did we save the day and all that crap, we almost couldn't because we can't be trusted...

...because of people like crazy stabby inmate.

Vicious cycle, man.

[worsetodie]

And I would say there's an inherent problem in a system that seeks to "better" Inmates who still must have a Warden's permission to actually do good things of their own volition.

But then I'm just "farting rhetoric."

[megamind]

She's hurting and angry and she failed in her job. She's going to hiss and spit. Man, you should have heard me in some post-scheme rants...

Doesn't make her right, though.

[ he shrugs, and then says ] You know I woke up today feeling-- [ Good? Great? Happy? ] satisfied with what I'd done.

Now--

I think I'm gonna go walk my dog. I owe him so many walks after two days trapped in the cabin.

[worsetodie]

I'm pleased to know there are Inmates here who are quick to think on their feet. There are many here, I think, who owe you a debt right now.

[megamind]

And Rex and Kozak.

[ Normally he'd let his ego soak it all up, but-- ]

And Rex is a warden now. His actions-- got him his ticket off.

[worsetodie]

Sometimes, deeds are rewarded as they should be.

[megamind]

Yeah, well, right now I'd like a caramel latte [ THANKS KOZAK god he misses Starbucks ] and a sandwich. But my dog needs a walk, so that'll have to wait.

[mistconduct]

Well, that's sort of why inmates went after this asshole, right? Aside from the whole stabby-stab thing. It's to cull the few outstanding assholes back into their place.

[megamind]

Could be. I didn't go after the bad guy, though. Or the crazy lady with the scissors.

[ ...he cured things instead. Rex and he and Kozak went to make things better. ]

Rex had the skills, I could pick them up quick enough and use my own to provide further solutions and... Kozak, well, he got to be our test run.

[mistconduct]

You protected us. That's hardcore.

[megamind]

[ There's a look given, brief and angry and confused and... ]

Yeah, well, my dog needs a hardcore walk.

[ And he needs to think. ]

[mistconduct]

Say hi to Angus for me.

[megamind]

Sure thing, kid. Get well, read those books, and I'll see about Kay helping me out some in the electronics department.

[mistconduct]

Deal.
