I'm curious. How many of you have kids back home? Or had someone to take care of, anything like that. I'm in a bit of a unique situation because when I first came here I wasn't even in a relationship, and now I'm married with kids, but I think it's done a lot towards helping my inmate. I'm not saying we should treat our inmates like they're our kids, but it's something to think about.

Still grounded, kiddo?

I was looking back over our old conversations, and I'd completely forgotten about that assignment I gave you. Made many friends yet?

It gives you experience being responsible for someone, I guess.

Probably. How many kids do you have?

Two, twins. They grow up so fast.

So I've heard. How old are they?

Three, supposedly. I'm not sure how old they'll end up if the Admiral keeps his word.

It's sort of complicated.

They're aging faster than they're supposed to. A lot faster.
