[Fortunately Crichton isn't really offended by the advice coming from a younger man. This is Aeryn's warden he's talking to. He's already impressed that Alex is taking the whole death a revival thing in stride, and perhaps more maturely than he might have.]

[And besides, he did ask. Alex has been here longer, so Crichton naturally figures Alex should know better.]

I see what you mean, but...hell, that leaves an awful lot of room for things to go wrong doesn't it? Wardening by trial and error?

[He does not want someone getting hurt by an inmate who's supposed to be under his charge.]
