[Barge, here is Shane. Sitting in zero wearing his shirt, left open, rubbing his head looking contrite. When he speaks, it's in a southern drawl with an edge to it, he hasn't had to soften his words in a long time.]

Hello to space ship rehab, home of zombies [Yes the word is mis-pronounced], bad ass blonde ladies who want to be cops apparently and...safety.

[This is so weird, Shane folds his hands in front of him.] My name is Shane Walsh, broadcastin' from...the hole. Or at least your equivalent of the hole because I made a little bit of a mistake an' attacked a guy when I arrived. In my defense, I thought he was a walker - no excuse me a zoombie simply because...

[zoombies are everywhere].

I'm given to understand however that this place has no walkers that are ready to attack, no rovin' bands of people lookin' to harm what's yours, and there's no demented CDC doctor waitin' til this place counts the fuck down before filling the air with some kind of anti-disease measure that will literally burn us all alive. Is this correct?

If I'm wrong about any of these things, I would appreciate a head's up or some kind of warning. Either way, I wish to issue an apology to the guy who I beat. [He sounds sincere.] You don't know me and I don't know you, and it ain't fair for a man to take advantage of another in a moment of weakness so...I apologize for harmin' you. Think of it like spookin' a horse, 'cept this horse shoulda known better.

[Yep. He nods. He can be a big man about this.]

So I'm honestly curious. Is there actually no-strings attached alcohol and food here along with hot water?

What, you think they're not aware of what's happened to them?

[And suddenly very, very harsh.] That's a goddamn lie. A lie.

[Because that meant Rick and he have both shot children, women, adults...]

I've been inside their heads.

Undeath traps the soul in a physical parody of life without control. The kindest thing to do is to stop them from hurting anyone else. Kill the monster and let the person they were be at peace.

[inside heads? Inside Sofia's head, inside the walkers that he killed...Amy? all the people that he's lost.]

Then that's what I'been doin'. So that's all there is to it.

Yes. It's not a good solution, but it's the only practical one.

Well then do we have more to say to each other? How the hell d'you look inside someone's head like that anyway?

I used to create them.

..You used to create walkers.

[Shane's tone is dead...with good reason. You made walkers. What. why. how.]

Out of the living and the dead. We usually called them ghouls.

[The level of angry that Shane has right now can't be measured. Can't be quantified. His lip curls.]

..Don't suppose...telling you what you did is awful would do any good if you're already here would it?

[He just sounds really defeated]

I know. I know.

[Arthas sounds exhausted and paranoid.]

I'm trying to make it right.

...S'long as you're doing that.

[Shane's voice is heavy] ...S'long as you're doing that.

[Do you know what you did -OR WHAT PEOPLE IN YOUR LINE OF WORK DID ARTHAS]

The last guy who was tryin' to do somethin' about it tried to blow up me and my... [He almost says friends] my group.

You plannin' on doin' that?

[Jenner meant well though]

Doing something about what?

..Plannin' on blowin' anybody up because your dead wife's sacrifice [Pause] may she rest in peace can't save humanity so you'll just die in a big buncha fire because you've given up on life?

You've lost me.

I don't plan on taking anyone with me though, no.

[This is a lie. He will take the entire Barge if he can manage it as one last 'fuck you.']

[Shane is beyond suspicious] Uh huh. Right.

The Barge is keeping me alive. I'll do what I have to.
