" 'Inmate' doesn't mean the same thing here," she offers, just to get that
out of the way. "The connotation is slightly different from what we're used
to, working with or for law enforcement. It doesn't mean you're a
criminal." She pauses in her search through the racks; somehow everything
is either far too mundane or far too outlandish. Is this where the
Admiral's Russian court regalia all wound up? "But I think you're right in
saying that you're not on duty. You aren't required to do anything to
uphold the law -- especially since there aren't any laws here -- but not
being required to do something doesn't mean that you just refuse to do it,
right?"
