[Barbara looks exasperated, more than anything, and there's a hint of amusement in the curve of her lips.]

So, this rash of robberies has been pretty harmless. Stupid, but harmless.

[The amusement fades, as she leans forward.]

That won't always be true, though.

So - anyone who wants a more advanced security system, hit me up. I've got a lot of tricks up my sleeve.

I can't do much on the magic end, though. Any volunteers?

[Private to Stephanie]

[Her smile shifts, becomes something wryly sympathetic.]

How are things going with your new Inmate?

Does that mean you'll let me have a look at it?

As long as you don't feel mortally offended when I change my passcode again immediately after you've finished.

[Oh, like I couldn't hack it if I wanted.] I'd be shocked if you didn't.

[He as good as hears that unsaid sentiment, thank you.] I have no doubts you and at least three other people I can think of would have my door open in minutes if not seconds, if you wanted. And that's not even factoring in interference being run from the Admiral.

That doesn't mean I'm granting everyone open access. It's the principle of the thing.

I get it.

And I wouldn't, unless I really needed to.

I figured as much. Seeing as I have no intention of kidnapping anyone, stealing anything, or passing out anytime soon, then it should never be necessary, should it.

[bodilesswarrior]

Intentions don't always matter in a place like this.

Anticipate the best and prepare for the worst, you mean.

[bodilesswarrior]

Basically.

You ever trust someone enough, you should give them access.

I'll consider making a very short list.
