That was a great post, Lillian. Poor Penny I hated putting her on the spot too & Justric I'm sure that Jack's crew wouldn't appreciate being thought of as a place for punishment. In fact, that might be something we need is what to do with people that break ship rules.

E: ugh phone typos

Well I am so very glad you did put her on the spot. Such a fun post to reply too. As for punishment, wouldn't that fall under the quasi-military governing the ship is under? I have no idea how such things are run though.

Wouldn't someone be tossed into the brig?

I think Lillian is correct. The ship is essentially under martial law, though it doesn't appear to be an oppressive or strict one. From Wikipedia, I pulled this on military non-judicial punishment:

Punishment can range from reprimand to reduction in rank, correctional custody, confinement on bread and water/diminished rations (aboard ships only), loss of pay, extra duty, and/or restrictions. The receipt of non-judicial punishment does not constitute a criminal conviction (it is equivalent to a civil action), but is often placed in the service record of the individual.


More severe crimes (such as murder and rape) would probably tried through a military tribunal.

And we've already seen how that gets judged with execution the final result.

Makes sense, Justric. In Josey's mind he's thinking of the worst job someone could have on the ship. I mean, he's a great guy but he's also a chef...chefs can be snooty and temperamental sometimes.

Great post Lil

And for what it's worth, the legal system aboard the Copernicus has, by necessity, become a quasi-hybrid of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (as applied to the US Armed Forces) and the American judicial system. "By necessity," I mean that the Copernicus was never designed to hold a crew that contained so many civilians with so little knowledge or preparation for interstellar travel. Its original purpose was a colonizing ship, not an ark for whoever the hell just happened to be in the immediate area when the whole world suddenly went to shit.

I'll try to put up a post a little later today, that might outline things a bit better.

Being inspired by... well... everyone, and seeing as how Lillian put up such a great post, I couldn't wait to post for Jack. It's a bit shorter than my usual, but I figure by the time everyone (characters and writers alike) work their way through his accent, it'll seem lengthy indeed!

I'm going to have to get that app now...

For those of you wondering where I've been getting his accent, vocabulary, and idioms from:

http://books.google.com/books?id=XrVbk3EndTcC&pg=PA497&lpg=PA497&dq=old+slut+kettle&source=bl&ots=Hq1Ct9EVCK&sig=60r_cnZqFiAkCl4UKQI75T7k8n8&hl=en&sa=X&ei=YI4EVM-sMYfGgwSL3YCgDA&ved=0CDQQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q&f=false (I have the book itself, I just can't find it at the moment.)

And then I'm getting the cadences off of various youtube videos such as:
