202. Trying to calm fires.

[thegooddrjones]

If we could calm the pitchforks for a minute, Rex Lewis is in the infirmary in a coma. There's no point in demanding that he be punished when he's not here. And before anyone gets any ideas, you should know that he's under guard, and no one's going to get near him who's not a doctor.

I know why people are angry. I'm angry about what he did myself

No wonder he hasn't been around. It's probably for the best.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who assumed what he did was a stupid mistake - he obviously wasn't trying to actually kill us, since he waited until the Barge was basically empty.

[thegooddrjones]

I agree. But people are going to unfortunately think the worst of him and forget that.

[buildindreemz]

I think that Wanda person was just projecting her own issues.

Private, much later, and written because she doesn't trust her voice.

[thegooddrjones]

I think so too. I think what happened with Franklin is colouring her perception of this. What happened to her was awful but Rex wasn't the one who did it.

Vengeance changes you. It makes you into a person who you aren't-into a person who you can't be. A person who other eople want you to be

so when you do that whatever his intentions you give him power and he doesnt deserve that power is another way to look at it.

Doesnt deserve to be kill either.

[thegooddrjones]

Thank you, Mark.

[Why are you drunk again? How do you keep getting into the pub?]

[expectremorse]

dont thank-

yeah.

[He has friends. Powerful friends. He's going to regret this.]

[inhistorybooks]

Thanks for bein' rational, Martha. I definitely get why people are pissed off, but I'm kinda goddamn tired of this whole torches and pitchforks attitude people've got goin' on.

[thegooddrjones]

Me too. If he'd blown us up in space I'd be a lot more angry than I am now. But he didn't. He just wanted off, I think.

[sharpememory]

Who says that you can't punish someone in a coma? You could put a psychic in their brain or something and he could be in a mental prison.

[thegooddrjones]

No. No one is getting anywhere near him.

[sharpememory]

Right. Not even all those inmates who work in the infirmary?

[thegooddrjones]

No.

So, are we gonna have to start coming in armed to stop Barron from wandering in here looking to mess up Rex's brain?

[Private]

[thegooddrjones]

He's in the locked room in the infirmary; it's on the same locks as the meds. The only people who can get into it are you, me, Owen, the Doctor and Doctor Cesares. I don't think any of us are going to do anything to him.

[Private]

[doesnttrusttech]

I'd like to think not.

[Private]-Some time later.

[thegooddrjones]

Just you, me, Caeares and Black Jack now.
