The One With No Good-Byes [Video]

[The boys are standing in front of a Barge-normal door. You know what that means kids...]

Our warden flew the coop.

[Scrad announces flatly. Charlie sarcastically adds:]

Big surprise.

[Actually, it is. They liked Drake; thought he was an okay guy. Trusted him, kinda. Almost. This hurts.

Don't expect them to admit that, though.]

My first inmate was a Time Lord criminal who once destroyed a third of the universe. He was a waste of carbon whom, off the ship, I would have gladly seen vaporized. But on the ship, it didn't matter whether or not he was worth rehabilitation, I'd come here to do a job and I was going to do it. He disappeared, but I didn't.

In the grand scheme of the universe, none of us are worth very much. But one of Drake's notable qualities was that he was loyal. If he left without saying a word and settling his affairs, then he didn't leave by choice. [Narvin's a wee bit protective of the reputation of his former inmate.]

[twoheadsofcabbage]

Whatever, he's gone either way.

[Scrad sulks.]

[timesbureaucrat]

Yes, he has.

But remarkably enough, it is possible to miss someone without belittling their character.

[twoheadsofcabbage]

Tell it to somebody who misses someone.

[Charlie says.]
