You're the smart one.

((SO LOOKS LIKE KAY MANAGED TO KIND OF SABOTAGE THAT RIOT. Since once someone told Ray that Ardent might be involved in this, he started to ~investigate, and really, evidence wasn't hard to find. He feels kind of dumb for being so oblivious now. Sorry for possibly sabotaging this! I can't really figure out how else to have Ray react, though. Also, sorry for the spam. I felt that this should probably go in its own post.))

[Warden Filter]

[Ray's in his room, sitting at his rather untidy desk. He's got a notepad in one hand and is reading bulletpoints off of it. He seems pretty tense. This is because he just found out that his inmate is planning a riot, ffff.]

Right. So. That riot thing. Looks like Ardent's the ringleader. I just requested access to his private messages, and aside from a whole bunch of rants and speeches about the wardens--lots of crap about how we're the ones oppressing the inmates and how we're not a united front and could be taken down easily--I also found the following.

Ardent's primarily working with Saffron, Arthas and the Master. They want to incite the riot by having one of them kill Ardent and frame a warden for it. [He can't quite keep up the professional tone when he says this. Because WHAT THE FUCK, ARDENT.] Haven't found out yet which warden, but knowing Ardent, I'd say it'd probably be House. [That's wild speculation on Ray's part.] They want to use the dissent among the wardens that's to be expected after an accusation like this to unite the inmates in a search for the "culprit". [Those are airquotes he's doing, yes.]

Arthas was put in charge of leading and organizing the riot. Whoever Arthas' warden is, if you're not reading his private messages already, I suggest you start doing it now.

Doctor, that phone you were working on. Ardent broke it in order to cause more dissent and dissatisfaction. If there's been anything else that happened to anyone that they couldn't quite make sense of, might very well have been Ardent and his gang trying to cause more trouble.

That's what I found out so far. Oh, and they've been using the library to meet up and plan things. Doctor--other Doctor, the one in the beige suit--Ardent's banned from the library until further notice. And if you see any of the others skulking around, I suggest you kick them out as well.

Sorry for not catching this earlier. And thanks to Agent K for cluing me in. I'm gonna take Ardent down to the interrogation room on level zero and see what else I can get out of him. I suggest the wardens of the affected inmates do something similar.

[Ray's not feeling well. At all. It's not quite as bad as the first few days of the death toll were, but it's bad enough. He's in an extremely sour mood, since on top of not feeling well, there has been another flood announcement--yet another one; the rate this ship is taking on water, you'd think the Admiral does it on purpose--and he found out that the Master is out of zero. It's the latter that has taken the biggest toll on his spirit. The man is insane and out of control; he needs to be locked up, but nobody on this ship seems to give a damn. In fact, Howie, who had promised to make sure that the Master was still in lock-up, never got back to him about it. Thanks, Howie. Good to know that the whole "I care about people dying" thing was just an act.]

( Private messages for Howie and the Admiral. )

[After texting the private messages, Ray decides he needs to get out of his room. The familiar space is making him nervous, twitchy--cabin fever of some sort, maybe. Whatever it is, he's going to deal with it by wandering down to--the mess hall, maybe. Or the gym. Something. He'll figure it out when he gets there.]

[The idea of going to the infirmary doesn't even cross his mind. Neither does the thought that this may be flood-related, and that maybe his urge of getting out of his room is caused by an irrational, subconscious need to find a short, Russian/British soldier. He'll find out once he's found him.]

((Due to internet fail and me being away for most of Saturday, this is horribly late. So it's either backdated, or Ray and Blonsky are having a delayed flood reaction. I'm good with either! Since they're not going to be doing much besides get into a fight, maybe having this be Sunday morning would work? Tagging's gonna be slow on my part since my internet keeps dropping out.))

[Private to Sam Tyler, Karrin Murphy, Neil Howie and Emily Prentiss.]

I said I was gonna put a call out to you guys--and ladies, of course--to come up to the pub tonight so we could talk about homicide protocols on this ship. I dunno, I'm still up for it, but, y'know, fair warning--I might start singing at you.
