I doubt that. Actually killing people on the ship doesn't seem to get people locked up, unless the killer is stupid enough to hit a warden's pet. And Dreykov wouldn't be anyone's pet, even if he was here for more than a couple of days.
[It's part of why she doesn't believe in graduation. She's a killer. She's been a killer since she was a child. Even if she threw all of her knives over the side of the boat and took up weaving, she would still be a killer deep down, at the core of herself.]
You might need that part, if we're ever going to get out of here.

I said I was going to get us out of here. Seeing him again? Made me tap into a side of myself that I worked long and hard to change.
