[Fletcher makes a voice post at around the time breakfast ends, and his voice is quiet and subdued. The speech he's about to give isn't long, but it sounds as though he's rehearsed it several times. Which he has! He's also reading it off a sheet of paper that he's holding, because this is still scary. But he has to do it. He won't feel right until he does.]

Good morning, everyone. Um... For those of you who I haven't met, my name is Fletcher Tringham. I've been here for about three weeks. I, I've wanted to say this for a while, but I've been too nervous to really say it. But it has to be said, so... here goes.

Sentience is trying his hardest to make this a nice place for all of us. I know people aren't going to like being taken away from their homes, but this is a prison. It's what this place is for. We're criminals. He's arrested us for a reason. And aside from the last couple of days, this place hasn't been anything like a prison. We can go wherever we like inside the dome, and do whatever we want. He's even made it so that we won't be missed back home. But so many people don't want to listen to him, or accept that they've done anything wrong. Can't... can't we all at least try to enjoy ourselves here? Please?

... [He pauses for a moment; this is the part he was dreading the most.] I know it's not fair to say that everyone here is a criminal without admitting that I am, too. But... I am. I was arrested for the crimes of impersonation, illegal chemical research and experimentation, conspiracy to commit counterfeit, negligent homicide, resisting arrest, breaking out of jail, and treason. I committed those crimes of my own free will, knowing that they were wrong.

I won't ask what anybody else has done, since it's not any of my business. I just... I want all of this to stop. Please just... stop fighting with Sentience. He's not our enemy.

Good morning, criminals. I would like to thank those of you who find yourselves free this morning for your cooperation while I evaluated priorities. Perhaps you would enjoy the newly-finished beach in Sector 4?

Those of you who do not find yourselves free this morning should evaluate your own priorities, or speak to me if you feel this is in error.

As some of you may have already noticed, inmates Seifer Almasy, Zero Kiryuu, and Saix have done a great favor to this facility in the form of capturing criminal Agatha. She will be returning to you tomorrow, in much better shape. I think we will all find it a substantial improvement.

Those inmates may speak to me regarding their achievement. Other inmates are now also welcome to speak to me about their concerns, interests, and requests. I am once again at your disposal.


[[ooc: see this post for who is free and who isn't]]

[Static comes first because though he managed to fix his communicator a little, it's still glitchy]

Sooo, I know some of you have experienced this, but...anyone else here ever been in love before? What's it like?

[Sounds a bit too chipper for a guy who's still in chains today.]
