Kesara Freamon
Can you hear me? Can you hear me?

[The small voice that claimed to whisper truths on the network is back today, but now it sounds very different. It's taken Kesara four days to think through what happened, to mount up the courage, the trust to speak to her tablet again. And perhaps it takes more of both than she yet has. She'd cried herself hiccuping, snotty and hoarse, and her voice sounds as though she'd only just found it again, and clings to it with a desperate child's ferocity. She wants so badly to sound steady. But more than that she wants to be heard.]

Alexander - the tablet, he wouldn't - he wouldn't say that anything was wrong, but I know it was. I know he said things that I didn't say. Or that no one said. I don't know what's true and what were lies. [That is the hardest thing of all to admit. She has to stop then, anxious and angry.] Please, I need to know that you can hear me, that it's really me. I didn't mean for what happened with that man who -

[She stops with a gasp. She'd almost said too much. Whatever else happens, that, she mustn't say. Even if it was a lie, the story of having made a man die by talking to him stays with her.]

[He was originally going to post this in the morning, but he decided to give everyone a full day to cool off from the argument before saying anything. It also gave him more time to think about what needed to be said.

So that evening, not long after the doors close for the night, a video from Shiro goes up.

Did everyone have time to cool their heels a bit? I hope so, because we need clear minds to discuss something important.

That whole mess, with the drugs and the stealing and the dying? That's exactly the kind of thing we do NOT need to waste time on. I'm not even going to go into the details of just how much time and effort we lost because half-a-dozen of you decided that getting back at one-another was more important than finding a way out of here. Just know that I am using my 'disappointed voice' just for you, because of it.

[Which he is. He so is. He's a father in many ways, he has perfected that guilt trip.]

But we're going to put that in the past now, and move forward from here. And in moving forward, I think we need to all agree on a few baseline rules, to keep this kind of thing from happening again. We don't need a whole constitution and laws and shit, but just a few guidelines to keep things running smoothly.

I, personally, am a fan of 'no stealing', 'no killing', and 'don't be an asshole with the limited resources'. Any thoughts?
