As some of you may be aware, in the past year or so a few refugees have been killed. Some of them have not remained dead. What you may not be aware of is that this procedure is one that only us non-citizen refugees have access to, and that we may have unknowingly signed away permission for them to revive us as they wish.
With the usual bureaucratic difficulty, I managed to get a copy of my own Newcomer Refugee forms from the day I arrived here. I've confirmed that within the periwinkle forms, Section J-26 subsection R, Paragraphs 11 through 17:
"The undersigned herein grants permission for any crew member, current or future, to determine whether the undersigned is in need of resuscitation; and that in cases wherein the undersigned in unable to give consent, a crew member may order for the undersigned to be resuscitated, and a necessary cost charged to the undersigned following successful resuscitation."
That is to say: In signing this full document, we've granted them permission to return us from death at their own will, and that a toll will be taken from us upon revival as payment for the procedure- whatever that procedure is, and whatever the toll is.
I've managed to wrestle the information from them that it's possible to revoke these permissions, should one wish to be allowed to die peacefully. The forms are in the Vogon's offices, around the same area that the Newcomer forms are. There's a large area containing forms revoking various permissions given within the Newcomer forms. The name of the form is D-134, it is printed on fuchsia paper. They are to be performed in quadruplicate and require both your signature and that of a witness on each form. they take approximately one month to process.
I thought some of you might like to know.

Figured I might as well just tell everyone. Anything on your end?
