3 questions.

1. What is the mortality rate?

2. Who enforces discipline?

[ You can learn a lot about the culture of a ship through its rules. He rules out HYDRA -- they're usually more cruel and efficient than this. Here, he and the others are animals in a trap, at the mercy of unknown entities powerful enough to draw and keep all of them in here. He doesn't give voice to these thoughts.

Eyes and ears in the walls, in these devices -- he doesn't trust them, his paranoia is his greatest asset. ]

3. Where and when were you from, at the moment you were taken?

1. Shockingly and disappointingly low.
2. It's all over the place, really.
3. 2874, Epitah.

[whatdidisay]

1. Too damn high, even if there's cryorevival here.
2. The captains if they have to, although I don't think anyone's pushed them past disciplinary action. Other than that it seems to be left to the crew to figure out.
3. Vorbarr Sultana, Barrayar; 31st century.

1. No fucking clue, but I guess we'll all be finding that out soon.

2. I guess I'm gonna be a part of that considering my job? At least with keeping people in their holding cells after the fact. IDK I didn't ask for the job so they can fuck off until I learn more.

So maybe ditto on that first one.

3. Hell's Kitchen in New York. Right after I saved my best friend from a monster. Made sure he'd never hurt anyone ever again.

[ Read into that what you will. ]

Your turn.

3. Why do you want to know?

[ No answers given for the first two because she doesn't have enough information to give them.]

[saveyourserpent]

1. More than I expected, apparently.

2. I'm also curious about this.

3. Earth, circa early 2010 or so.

[niffin]

1. complicated
2. we all vote
3. urbana, illinois, usa, earth, milky way galaxy. about 5 pm. it's 2009.

are you looking for a pattern?

[ersatzeverything]

3 answers.

1. Better than home.

2. The ship itself is alive. Get too far out of line and it'll dedicate itself to containing or eradicating you.

3. I was in Alaska fighting off the Commie bastards who invaded. It's winter 2066.

[Two out of three answers are outright lies. And his first answer is based in optimism more than fact because he doesn't actually know the real answer.]

ID reads Jim Barnes

[sidecars]

[ Steve said not to poke, so Bucky hasn't yet. But now he is. He can only be obedient for so long. ]

1. We seem to be doing pretty good
There was one fatality I think?

2. We have security personnel technically

3. Lehigh New Jersey 1945, Berlin

[ Whether or not Steve has told his other self about him (he's assuming not), Bucky's simply curious what he has to say about number three. If anything at all. ]

[rraidergirl]

1. 7 (afik) within a 6 month period, rough estimate. Two have failed to regenerate via the ship's system.

2. There are at present several security members and arbitration officers. Disputes in which a larger punishment is called for are settled via trial and crew vote. Ultra Magnus is the Bailiff and Probation Officer.

3. Yamatai, 2013

[vengeance_driven]

1. Do you mean mortality rate for people that stay dead or just people that die?

2. The ship enforces discipline. If you fuck up it gets voted on.

[Though as someone that went to the hold for a while for flipping a table and hasn't seen anyone punished for property destruction since, just violence against their fellows, he's not super keen on the whole punishment system.]

3. I was a part of a different crew on another ship. Before that ship, Liberty City. 2008.

[warandpeace]

1. Unknown.

2. From what I've been able to tell, the ship's security system identifies a problem and someone is sent to deal with it. Depending on the nature of the problem, a perpetrator is placed in the hold until a democratic vote is held, agreeing to specific grade of the punishment. Then certain individuals are tasked with enforcing that discipline, whether it's someone receiving treatment for their mental health or something more serious.

3. Location classified. 1984. Earth.

1. You were expecting a higher body count?
2. How so?
3. Earth?

[dislocked]

1. Do all endure cryorevival?
2. So it's up to the mob.
3. What do you call your world?

[dislocked]

1. You're new.
2. They appointed you as a warden?
3. How?

[ Monsters, he knows more than his fair share -- mostly himself. And if she knows how to stop monsters, he will need to know more; he imagines there will come a time where he needs to be stopped. A beast still sits under his skin, close to the surface. ]

2. I clean. [ what the other job entails, he doesn't actually know. he's not sure if he cares. ]
3. Romania, 2014.

[ Holed up in a dingy old apartment, alone and trying to find himself. ]

[devilofohara]

For what?

[dislocked]

[ he sees the name, and it's distantly unsettling, like he's looking at a report, a display in the smithsonian. Jim Barnes. But somewhere deep down, something twinges. ]

1. Were they revived?
2. And un-technically?

[ Bucky stirs at the name. Camp Lehigh -- the year is different, but Bucky thinks of Steve Rogers. He had disappeared by then, and so had Bucky; he remembers this from the Smithsonian. ]

3. You served?

[dislocked]

1. Why?
2. All of the crew?
3. Earth?

[dislocked]

1. Both.
2. Is this ship alive?
3. Another ship like this?

[dislocked]

1. Too many to count, or too many that are hidden?
2. Are there executions?

[sidecars]

1. Yep

2. Well it's sort of crew run and since the crew is all just a bunch of shanghaied people from all walks of life
I wouldn't call it too sophisticated
But it seems effective enough

3. Yeah
US Army PFC

[ On paper at any rate. ]

You?

[vengeance_driven]

1. Enough of a mortality rate that it's better to try and get along, no matter how bad you get pissed at someone. [And oh, does he ever get pissed at people.]

2. The security cameras and the collective people on it.

3. Not exactly like this. That one was a little different. But yes, this isn't the only ship that scoops people up.
