The Admiral lied to him. [He frowns, wanting to tell her more, but.] He can tell you how better than I can.
He rushed ahead and a lot of people were hurt. Around here, a warden can beat their inmate unconscious, can torture them, but the Admiral won't let you get away with killing one of us. That's the line. So now he has to figure out how to graduate and I'm sure he has no idea how.
[Which brings them back to the files.] The only files we have access to are the ones the permanent pairings have, but that's not a bad start. If we had a view of all of them, we could see any patterns that might be there.
That seems ... particularly cruel and unnecessarily targeted. It makes more
sense to let go of a warden who can no longer do their job, not punish them
indefinitely. [She'll need to mull this over; it's hard to say
whether this means the system is inherently more corrupt than she imagined,
or if there's a greater purpose to this particular situation besides just
punishment.] How does one even graduate from a punishment?
Maybe his is the file we should start with. Unless there are others that
might be easier to access?
I'm sure the Admiral has good reason for holding on so tightly to anyone he thinks needs redemption. I know it's possible to graduate from a demotion, though; I've seen it done a few times. But they were never people I was close with, and they were gone before I could ask them. Or even figure out what to ask.
I think you're right about his file, though. I can ask him--unless he's mad at me, in which case maybe you should.
