[Warden Filter]
Given the current tension, I'm going to have to ask everyone to refrain from giving any alcohol to my inmate, Perry Dawsey, if he comes asking for some. No trips to the bar, no favors, don't give it to somebody else to give to him, nothing until I give the go-ahead. It's just a temporary measure.

And speaking of tension: is anyone up for sparring this week? [ARTHUR NEEDS TO PUNCH THINGS, BUT EVERYONE'S INJURED :CCC]

[Filtered to Eames & Tyr]
I think now's as good a time as any to begin. [Wryly:] Might as well do it while we're between crises.

[Private to Angelica]
I know things are rough right now, so I'll keep this brief. Would you object to me taking Mal to the CES? I know she's barred from the deck, and I don't want to step on any toes.

[Privates to: Eames, Dick, Mal]
I'm sure you know by now that Ariadne's back. [DISCUSS. With Arthur. Because these are separate private messages.]

[And to Mal:] I've spoken with Angelica. She's given permission for you to come to the deck with me. Whenever you're free.

[Private to Capa]
I'm half-tempted to move that drink up to tonight.

[Private to Hayley]
If Perry comes to you for alcohol, I'd appreciate it if you didn't give him any. Just for a little while.

[OOC: Arthur needs to talk to more inmates one day :c So many warden-filtered posts...]

Basically. [Have some flat, dark humor in Arthur's voice, too.]

Questions that mattered. Like her mind's always brainstorming. [Which was why Arthur liked her.]

Private

[batmanschmatman]

So, what do you think happened? Nanomites, parallel universe, a flood that affected no one else but her? [He's not going to bother voicing the elaborate scheme theory. :|]

Private

[paradoxlol]

Given the timing of her departure and her return, my first guess would be an early round of nanomites testing. From what I understand, there was one or two incidents in the past that mirrored what happened on a much smaller scale.

...

But then that would imply that Rex could actually remove wardens from the Barge entirely, which is... completely unlikely.

Got any theories that make more sense?

Private

[batmanschmatman]

Not really. Unless this is some elaborate ruse where she found out a bunch of us are angry with her for our various reasons and is now faking Barge amnesia like a pro so we won't confront her about what happened, the nanomites would be my first guess too.

She could have always disappeared for the same reasons any person vanishes. Rex didn't necessarily have to boot her off the Barge.

Private

[paradoxlol]

That thought's crossed my mind, too, believe me.

But about the departure... True. It could all be one big coincidence. And the nanomites would explain why she seemed like herself at first. [Before the Aztecs.] Then again, the entire shift in personality could also be explained by the stresses of this environment. [Why... why can't this be simple...]

I wouldn't necessarily be shocked. Showing up right before an Aztec takeover is pretty intense, especially if it basically meant you died and came back within the first couple weeks of being on the Barge.
