[It's Christmas, Barge residents. And as it happens, one of your new arrivals is a Christmas angel.

Well, okay, she's just dressed up as one. Interestingly enough, it was Christmas on her world too, and she just got done performing in a Christmas pageant: she's wearing a white costume robe, and has a tinsel crown on her head. The front of her robe is bloody and dirty, and torn in a few places-- and given how beat-up and damaged her face looks, it's probably safe to assume that at least some of that blood is hers.

Currently she's wandering into to common area on level 6, a bit unsteady on her feet. She's also filming herself, because she found a fancy phone so why the hell not. Soon enough she stops walking and poses dramatically, arms held wide.]

Be not afraid-- for behold, I bring good tidings of... of, uh...

[And then she collapses. So yeah, that's a thing that's happening.]

Not with any certainty, no. However your presence as an inmate on this ship would certainly lead me to believe your salvation is not yet a done deal.

You're wrong. Really, really wrong.

That's always possible. [But she's pretty damn sure she's right this time.

She leans a bit closer to the bed.] But can you explain why you're in prison if you've already earned God's saving grace?

I didn't find Him until after. And God's feelings don't much matter in Earthly courts.

His feelings probably don't matter much here either, unless the Admiral is God and I have my doubts about that.

He'd do good to listen to God. If this place is supposed to be better than Earth, he should.

[She just laughs and shakes her head.] I don't think anyone believes this place is supposed to be better than Earth. It is better than being dead however.

Better than dead if you're hellbound, you mean.

I don't believe all the inmates here were destined to hell--if such a place exists--so no, I'd have to say better than dead period.

"If such a place exists".

It do exist. You read your Bible and you'd know that.

I have read it, but it presents only one opinion on the afterlife. The good book has some important lessons but it is just a book, one written by mortal men.

Written by men who were being told what to write by God. It ain't just a book, and I don't think you read it at all.

[...and there may be just a bit of eyerolling.]

Listen, honey--I'm not saying your beliefs aren't valid. I can't say that because I don't know who's got the right answers. What I am saying is you might want to try keeping more of an open mind. Especially around here.

You want me to just pretend I don't know what I know? You want me to be all confused?

I'm saying you may not know as much as you think you know. And on this ship, confusion is inevitable at some point.

You think I got lied to. Is that it?

[Wow. It's like totally either black or white in your head, isn't it?]

Possibly, though not necessarily intentionally.

Now, that's where you're wrong-- because he was my lawyer, and he can't lie to me.

Lawyers are professional liars. They'll say anything to win a case.

Yeah, but not to me. He can't lie to me. I'm his client.

[She's like... 56% sure that's how it works.]

[Venus isn't exactly an expert on the legal system but she does know how people work.]

How much did you pay this man? I mean, was he a Dream Team-level lawyer or just some fellow from the public defender's office?

He weren't a public defender, but I didn't pay him at all. My fans took care of it.

Your...fans? Just what is it you did that got you arrested?

Saved the lives of the unborn.

And how exactly did you do that?
