I have several requests. For one, the lunch shift is no longer covered by a warden supervisor and we will require a volunteer. For another, I used to run drills aboard my ship. I know there are a few soldiers or former military here and convenient obstacle courses on which to train. If there are willing participants, I would like to start running some weekly drills again. [He may have other intentions that he wants to use this for as well.] I would like to give the training simulator some real use.

[And another thought.] I- [And he's thinking of requesting company again for that night. The network erroring made him feel a little out of sorts in a very lonely Nietzschean way. He decides ultimately not to, however.] -I suppose that will be it.

I betrayed my friend once before, and Braxiatel made a request of me. I decided that I needed to show my loyalty and alleviate his concerns. I care about him more than I despise this place.

[That's a little screwed up that someone would get you to come back here when they know how awful it was for both of you, but Lua kind of can't say anything with her life choices.]

So it's because you love him.

[Braxiatel peeled the skin off a guys hands for him once. He can't forget that sort of dedication.]

Basically, yes.

Then it's worth it. [A statement, not a question, even though she's starting to doubt whether this place really is worth much once you're out.]

No. Staying to help T'Pol's child is worth it. I almost went home before I agreed to take her deal. [Narvin can take care of his own damn self, or he has so far, anyway.]

Should have known that would mean more.

To me? Absolutely. Parenthood is a gift and she is very much deserving.
