Okay, so. Everybody heard the Admiral's announcement, I'm guessing. I don't know how many of you think this is going to be awful and how many of you will think I'm being paranoid, and I don't really care.

Here's what I'm offering.

There are some wardens here - not a huge number, but some - who might not be able to help you prepare for the worst. Physically, I mean. I can, or at least I can help. If anybody wants that, I can make it happen. I'll talk to wardens first, though, I'm not going over anybody's head. If you don't have a warden - talk to me anyway, we'll figure something out.

Hey, Ben. You ever play baseball?

[Alex wouldn't have allowed that argument anyway. Ben is the best person to train him. He doesn't know Tinga and doesn't trust her. It's not about who's most skilled - it's about the fact that he trusts Ben, who is his friend.]

[He grins mischievously, raising his eyebrows.]

You think?

[But he starts heading across the deck towards the stairs despite the joke.]

[Someday, Ben will tell Alex about Tinga, because she is dead and Rhade told him that the dead should be remembered. That their sacrifice, if that is why they died - and it was, in Tinga's case, in Eva's, in Jack's - should be shared so it would never be in vain. But not right now.

Right now, his expression doesn't exactly change when Alex grins at him like that, nor does he make the soft sniffing sound that would be appropriate here, but he follows Alex in a very arch manner.]

I know.

You know.

[He smirks, glancing over his shoulder.]

Well, in that case. Let's go get lunch, Ben.
