070 - A good day to be Sam (for once)

[Filtered to MALE Wardens]
Right then, I'm back from my, er... 'sabbatical'. Thanks for holding down the fort; looks like we've had a rare week of calm on the Barge. As much of a relief as this is, I think my heart's gonna give out from shock if it continues much longer.

Oh, and Kirk. You can keep your gun.

[Private to the Fourth Doctor]
I don't know if this is the best time, given your Inmate's recent, er... death, but I was wondering if we could talk about her for a bit?

[Private to Prefect]
Alright? I thought you might... enjoy taking inventory of the Admiral's new stock, if you'd like.

[Private to Annie]
I just wanted to say--

It was--

Thanks. For, uh... it was... I'm really glad you're here.

Calm is good. Especially after the alien ordeal.

Yeah, I'm really not complaining.

Sorry, don't think we've met yet. Sam Tyler.

I needed the down time. David... Levinson. Still not used to saying my first and last name as an introduction, but I suppose there are a lot of people with the same name, so it makes sense.

I think we all did.

Nice to meet you. Y'know, you just might be our only David at the moment.

Well, ah, I guess I should feel special?

It gives those who were affected by the Borg time to get back to themselves. So I'd say it's something that was needed.

Yeah. I can't even imagine what it's like, for them...

Agreed.

You do realise that you've MENTIONED it now, don't you?

We're doomed.

Have a good time, though?

Yeah, another exciting crisis on the Barge is just around the corner now.

Oh yeah. It was-- uh. I needed that.

We should really learn to count our blessings more quietly.

Understandable, of course. Most of us do.

Yeah, it was..fun. It was great. More than great. It was the perfect evening really, aside from getting rained on...We should do it again sometime.

[Aaand she's mentally kicking herself for saying that last bit.]

What, get rained on?

You know what I mean.

[She's teasing him now.]

And just so you know, sir, I prefer to sleep on the right side of the bed. So maybe next time you'll remember.

I'll keep that in mind. You know, my bed only has one side to it. Hope you don't mind.

I guess we'll just have to share it then, won't we?

This is calm? I suppose, relatively, it is. I miss Scotland.

...what was Kirk going to do with the gun? Should I even ask?

Yeah, I've got to admit, between the robots and aliens and vampires here, I'd take the crime in Manchester just about any day.

We, ah... had an arrangement. That's all.

Which is actually saying something. It seems mundane by comparison. Most of it.

Which means I shouldn't ask. Okay.

Of course we can talk. What specifically do you want to talk about?

Prefect feels a sort of connection to her-- I mean, independent of the Borg thing, I think. She sort...

He comes from a world where people don't really have any identities outside of what they can do for the 'Factory.' So I think he can relate to her.

I told him that, after a time, I'd try to arrange for him to have a supervised sit-down with her. Didn't know if it would help either of them much, so I was wondering what your thoughts on the idea were.

I'm fine with that idea. However, I want to be there. And you'll be there also. We might not be in the room, but we definitely need to be able to watch the inmates at all time. I don't trust Queeny.

Agreed. I wouldn't leave those two alone together, even if there was a big sheet of glass separating them.

My only concern is... I don't want this to make Prefect backslide any. I just think it's important for him to finally talk to somebody who he can relate to-- nobody else really can.

Well...I know that I haven't exactly been the world's best warden with Queeny. Perhaps we could use this as a 'what not to do' sort of situation?

Did you have a good time?

I did, yeah. It was nice to have some normalcy, while it lasted.

Yes!

I would like to do that.

You seem very... enthusiastic. I guess that's... good?

I'm not enthuseastic. I just like taking stock.

I'm always this excited about taking stock.

Prefect thinks he's earned this anyway.
