I'm gonna answer all of these in order.

[With the aid of the notes she took beforehand. She's listened to everything that's showed up on this post so far - multiple times, in some cases.]

One - I think this place is meant to be good, but I don't think the Admiral's intentions are always something that matter in practice.

Two - I spent a while trying to use deals and requests to make big changes in how the Barge is run. None of 'em worked. I would try again if I thought of something new to ask - but I'd only use the deals with the permission of my inmate, because I give those to them now. Mostly right now I focus on smaller things I can accomplish myself.

Three - Same answer as one.

Four - Sometimes, on like-- an individual level. I've always talked with my inmates about what they're gonna do after they go, and what plans they have, and what they want their lives to be like - I've had talks like that with other people that I wasn't paired with, too. I haven't ever tried to make anybody stay, though, even if I worried about them. And some people I've been more worried about than others.

Five - I don't actively want anybody to feel bad.

Six - I don't know Hux much at all so I can't speak for him, but I believe it's possible to feel bad about something for the rest of your life and still keep moving forward. You're probably right, though; there's probably people who've gone home and been too fucked up by guilt or shame or trauma to live good and happy lives. But I don't think-- the Barge isn't the only place, or even always the best place, to work that shit out. And I don't think leaving here fucked up means they're doomed to be fucked up forever. I think everybody should be able to leave here if they want - inmates, too - and so yeah, if somebody who's able to leave decides they're gonna go, I'm not gonna try to stop them, even if they're not doing too good. Mostly I'll trust that they're doing the best thing they can do for themselves, but even if I don't--

[She pauses here for just a hitch.]

If I only respect somebody's choices when they're choices that I agree with, I ain't actually respecting their choices at all.

Seven - Who says it's good enough for me?

[Another pause, longer this time.]

I like your kind of pot-stirring.
