Sixteenth Race

[ Voice - Warden Filter after the Doctor's comment ]

I know that time works differently on the barge, but it's hard to get comfortable knowing that trouble's waiting back home. I never really appreciated before how hard some of the wardens here work, knowing that lives are at stake. It's so weird not being able to call Linda and ask how the kids are doing. I know how they're doing, but it's not the same.

How do you guys do it? Sit around all day, reading or going about your business, knowing that while you're stuck here trying to do a long job, the people you care about are dead or dying all the time?

He still brandishes threats and a very hostile intent. It concerns me, and even if your inmate could be a positive influence on Arthas, I would hate for the reverse to occur.

You do miss those close to you considerably, don't you. I thought you had friends aboard?

I'm working on Drake making some new friends. He's a good kid, he's just had a tough life.

I have one good friend on board, but it's not the same. I should probably ask the Admiral to change my room around, because I can't tell you how strange it feels to go to bed every night without my wife next to me.

I imagine it is and I approve of a change of atmosphere. My ship changes all the time to keep me from growing complacent.

What is your wife like?

Linda? She's... amazing. Beautiful, strong, intelligent, clever, so much more level-headed than I am.... she's just... perfect.

She sounds it. It was a very long time ago that I was married. Will what you're doing here help her as well? When you've received your deal with the Admiral?

Well, lonely though it is, a reminder here or there shouldn't hurt I would imagine.

I could never forget. But yeah, I'd want to keep a few things around.
