Question.

Or, um. Query, if you will.


Why do we have the death toll?

Does it teach us anything? Don't go doing what you do or you'll get punished for it? And why a week's worth of suffering? Doesn't death make you suffer enough? I hear it can be painful.


Why just...not have a death toll? Can any, um.

Is there anyone else on board who can stop a death toll from happening?

Just.

Just curious.

Then you just answered your own question. It wouldn't be a lesson if it wasn't at least frakking unpleasant.

[deadly_ned]

But why a week? Why not three days, or a month? Who decides when death tolls start and end?

[itstopped]

The Admiral, I assume. Maybe a week seems like a good, round number.

[deadly_ned]

A week has seven days.

[itstopped]

Maybe yours do. [No, that's just trolling.] It's the next single unit that's longer than a day.

[deadly_ned]

I suppose that's true. Reluctantly admitted as such.
