[Barbara is twirling a pen round her fingers with careless dexterity as she leans back in her wheelchair, gaze distant.]
I was going to talk about being a Warden and the responsibilities it entails and the sort of things we need to commit to when we agree to come on board this ship.
[She shakes her head, as the pen spins faster.]
But the truth is I'm not sure if I even have a right to be here. I barely address my own issues, half the time. I know they're there, of course, but there's always something more important.
And when it comes to other people... [A low, bitter laugh.] I ended my engagement over the phone. Didn't even tell him why.
I've used the people I love most. I've manipulated them. I've made them face near certain death, horrific trauma, brutal violence. All because of the mission. The greater good.
[The pen snaps, and she lets the pieces fall.]
Sometimes I think I'm a better vigilante than I am a person, and that's not what the Barge needs.
