The technology in this place has given me much pause and so much to think about. I wouldn't consider myself a techie by any stretch of the imagination; I've got a more literary mind, I think. Still, perhaps things would have been different if I had come from a later generation. These journal devices alone are advanced far beyond anything I could find in the year I before the back home. The ship itself is a marvel. Since I've been up and about I've taken time to explore when I could, and I know there's rooms here that are a lot bigger than should be physically possible, given the space allotted. The way the ship moves: it looks like we're in space, but there's nothing really separating us from the open air. Does the barge produce its own atmosphere? There's things about the system here that I'd like to better understand, too. Nobody really explained the last time I asked. I think I'm an Inmate. No one's really told me. And I know that guy...the Admiral, assigned a bunch of people together. Inmates with Wardens. Is that what I'm waiting for? A Warden? How long does that usually take? I'd appreciate whatever answers can be given me. --Harold Emory Lauder

There are several possibilities as to why the ship can maintain an atmosphere without any visible barriers between the vessel and space. Most of the ones I'm familiar with involve magnetosphere generated forcefields, but the ship is equipped to maintain a variety of physical laws so any one universal theory might prove inaccurate.

Wardens are matched at the middle and end of each month, though may be postponed in the event of a shipwide incident. Criteria for matching are uncertain but all wardens are provided with a file of relevant information pertaining to their inmate. Many inmates ask permission to see their file.

So whoever gets assigned to me is going to get a folder with my entire life story in it?

Only relevant information. This may be no more than a little bit of information or it may be a book's worth. If the warden needs more they're expected to figure it out on there own.

It may take a couple of months to find a warden, but a free one might be able to assist you in the meantime.
