I mean, he’s dead now so there wouldn’t really be a point to that. And even if he wasn’t dead, I wouldn’t waste a deal on him since dealing with him is something I could do myself.
[ Is Zack implying he’d do a murder if Hojo was still kicking? Yes, yes, he is. ]
I’d rather use a deal for something constructive. And the Admiral has been really good about keeping his promises - in case that’s something you’re interested in down the road.
I remember one Warden a while back who was trying to protect her people too. I can’t remember all the details or how she worded the deals, exactly, but she asked for a whole planet to move them to, if they wanted to go.
Not sure if that’s the kind of thing you’re thinking of, but he can do stuff like that.
…mm. I’m not sure about that one. About changing history.
I could ask the Admiral if you want. I’ve just…kinda shied away from it myself because changing one thing could change a bunch of other things.
Like- just to use an example. I recently asked the Admiral for my life back and someone else’s. But there’s a difference between asking for that and…asking that our deaths never happened at all.
There's the possibility it could change a lot of things, yeah.
[ Which is why he prefers not to risk it. ]
That one I'm sure he can do, though - bringing people back without changing things. I'd died about....two or three years before the Admiral approached me in, uh...my world's version of what comes after. I went back home a little while ago, after I got my life back, and...well, there were some really awkward and emotional conversations. Because I was dead, you know? Everybody who remembered me knew that.
So that part of the timeline didn't change. I just didn't stay dead.
“It’s more flexible than that,” Zack replies. “My last deal was for my life and someone else’s. And she’s…actually the last of a nonhuman race of people that use to be the stewards of our Planet. I’m gonna ask her what she thinks of bringing them back the next time I go home for a visit since…well, it’s not a decision I think I should make without her input.”
“I mean, I think it is. Though you might appreciate the perspective of the Wardens who used to be Inmates a bit more than mine since I didn’t start where you are. I can think of a couple off the top of my head, if you’d like to speak to them.”

Date: 14 Jan 2023 19:00 (UTC)...both, I think. I understand why he's done the shit he has even though I don't agree with it. As long as I can do that...I can work through it.
There's only one person I know I couldn't do that with, and I hope he never comes here.
