[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.]

But of course.
If nothing is permanent then why worry about it?
If I shot one of you what would the punishment be? A couple of weeks in the brig?
Would any of the crew even see fit to punish that crime? After the large amount of nothing you captains have done?

[hohnkai]

Permanent death would be something that the captains would have to choose and stick to. It's worth considering, thank you.

As to the rest, I honestly can't say if anyone would wish to put a crew member who shot one of us on trial, but since we are subject to the same rules, we'd ask for it. If one of us shot someone, we'd be put through the system.

[diamondslap]

It's not been a choice until we were brought here.
The system is a joke and so are you captains.
I expect there's probably an incipient mutiny. Probably something that'll be sped up when you lot bestow those positions of power.

[hohnkai]

I cannot disagree with you entirely, but there won't be positions of power, rather positions of responsibility and everyone will have one.

[diamondslap]

Please explain to me how "responsibility" differs from "power" after taking into consideration the people in this crew.

[hohnkai]

Everyone will have to take the responsibility for what they do. No one will be excluded from the new system and nobody's role will place them higher than anyone else.

[diamondslap]

I ask you again:

In the context of this crew and past choices they have made, please explain to me how responsibility differs from positions of power.

[hohnkai]

Responsibility, in this context, might mean that everyone will have consequences for breaking the rules. We aren't acting like a crew, so we need to make adjustments to promote that.

[diamondslap]

You are all fools and I'll expect and incipient mutiny.

[she cuts the line, too bored to argue it any further.]
