[Warden Filter | Audio]
My inmate has made notable progress recently, but still has difficulty understanding certain basics of interacting with his culture. This I'm not sure that I can help him with because while I've gained some knowledge from ports and breaches, it's not a lifetime of familiarity and certainly not enough to help him with the basics of interaction. I grew up in an entirely different environment [a surprisingly healthy one] with different standards of interaction, more confrontational. There's a cultural divide that I can't help him with.
So I need help from someone from the early 21st century to assist him. His has minor differences to the ones that we've encountered, like a class divide with technological capabilities, stronger military authority, and different popular figures, but otherwise on basic interaction it would be the same.

I would like Ben's room changed to a hotel room appropriate to his universe, era, and geographical location if he should return.
Also, a sleeping bag should he decide he would like to entertain company again. [He knows Ben would probably sleep on the floor before sharing a bed with someone, otherwise he would have asked for a queen sized bed.]

[A flicker of silence, then he just turns it off because that is the most awkward conversation either of them could possibly have.]

How is Dr. Kozak?

[Don't ask if Dylan is alright.
Don't ask if Dylan is alright.
Don't ask if Dylan is alright.]
Are you- [Don't do it.] -feeling well enough for it.
[That is basically asking the same thing, but he will ignore this.]

[Private]
[A pause and a ruffle, because he's rubbing the back of his head.]
What time?
[The difficulties in dodging around talking about how awkward something was, and the very real idea of how horrific Magog are. If only he could laugh it off as the second most bizarre alternate he's encountered.]
[Private]
[He never noticed Harper getting all nesting syndrome over Magog larvae, and he's a little disturbed that he did. Maybe he needs to seriously think about becoming a father. A real father, not a Magog host.]

That will give me a couple of hours before the dinner shift.
