[After purchasing a communicator, Dirk has found his way to the computer room, a perfect place for him to start his life here in DW considering he was found guilty of cyber crimes. But he is hunched over the keyboard in a corner, trying to find out some sweet information and get a lay of the land (aka seeing if he can hack THIS system without getting caught). Kind of sucks that there's a time limit. 10 minutes isn't even enough to watch porn.]

I was going to organize a revolt had it not been for the provided manual's subtle cues of disapproval against it.
Darn.
That leaves only plan B, and you know plan B never lives up to the hype of plan A, the main honcho.
The thing is, plan B requires community participation.
Even more so than your standard, run-of-the-mill usurpation.
Maybe.
What I'm asking is, please sign my change.org petition to increase the maximum usage time in the computer room.

Define the word.

It's more or less determination or having the guts to face something.

And it is specific to only the male gender? Fascinating...

It's slang, so the application is flexible.
I would say no, though.
For example, plenty of women will say "suck my dick."

Ah, yes. I've noticed that slang is often incomprehensible when divorced from its original context. How curious.

Is it that curious?
Language morphs with usage. Subcultures will take words and claim it as their own.

I have not yet performed research on linguistics. Perhaps that should be my next area of study.

Why?
Not exactly what I'd call a skill that's going to help you out around here.

That is not the point.

Then what is the point?

Acquiring knowledge. Learning something new.

[You are such a Ravenclaw, Philip.]

All very interesting, but not really that useful.
We're in a prison not a university.
No thesis to write.

I don't care. I am going to learn everything there is to know about this world.

That's an admirable and maybe kind of daunting goal.

All that aside, who are you?

Dirk Strider. I'm in for cyber terrorism or something.
You?

Philip. I was convicted of murder.

Yeah?
Who was it?

I don't know their names.

That's something.
A one-up on me, at least.

I was not aware it was a competition.

Everything's a competition if you want it to be.

Is that so? Intriguing...

What better way is there to gauge your skill?

Your skill... at being a criminal?
