[On the 17th, Captain Thán sends out a text message addressing all Moirans.]

The environment on the ship has been extremely hostile, more than what's typical for us, and that has to stop. The punishment system was put into play to discourage these kinds of actions, but there have been more after its installation.

This means that things are going to change, beginning with the treatment of other crew members.

As your captains, we don't wish to force anyone to do anything, and we'd prefer that everyone learn to live and work together to achieve our common goal, but that idle behavior we've adopted is now over. All of us are extremely displeased.

We're going to start with reworking the punishment system. This will mean the creation of new positions (arresting officers, mediation officers, etc.), and the implementation of new rules.

Please state your suggestions, thoughts, and offer yourself as candidates for the new roles.

[Messages will come from all the captains.]

so your punishment system failed
and now you're asking those living in the "extremely hostile" environment to suggest a new one
yes very typical

[hohnkai]

Would you rather we made all the decisions for ourselves, without allowing you an opinion or thought into what happens?

[ventifact]

no that would be even worse
i'd suggest just letting things work themselves out
but that won't happen
there just has to be some other way besides publicly asking like this
because nobody will suggest anything that might actually work

[hohnkai]

That won't happen because it won't help the situation. Everyone is still acting out. Murders have still occurred. We blame not having a better system in play.

I don't believe that. We've already had numerous suggestions that can be combined to make something better for us all. It won't be perfect, but it will be better.

[ventifact]

the thing about people who murder is that they usually don't care how you punish them
you can do whatever they like but if they're alive they'll try it again

better until it stops working too
then you'll have to come up with something else
something more extreme
it's a cycle trust me

[hohnkai]

That is a very accurate statement, but everyone has something that they don't want to happen to them. A consequence or punishment that will keep them from acting out. It's just difficult to create rules that are fair to everyone.

We can't do nothing. It's as simple as that. We have to do something, even if it only works temporarily.

[ventifact]

maybe you shouldn't then
maybe it should be a case-by-case basis
not everyone fears the same thing
and letting them know in advance what the punishment is will just make it easier for them to prepare


listen if you've got faulty atmosphereic thrusters you can't just patch the rupolsorlift and expect everything to be ok
you have to repair the whole thing not just a part of it

[hohnkai]

So no set out rules or punishments? I'm afraid that neither stance allows for a negative side effect. They can be prepared or not worried about what will happen if they do something. Both ways may result in bad situations.

The whole thing? What else do you think needs fixed?

[ventifact]

they might
but we can't know until we try one

i don't know
but clearly something isn't working
people aren't really my area of expertise

[hohnkai]

Then what do you think isn't working for you, specifically?

[ventifact]

being here honestly
