[On the one hand, this probably isn't good to tell someone so new to the boat. But on the other hand, if Ricki can't handle all the chaos, he'll fail soon enough anyway.]

I mean the Admiral is unpredictable. The Barge has nearly fallen apart twice since I've been here, and the most recent time, he tried to blame us for it. Some people have faith that he knows what he's doing, but I think it's foolish to assume that he's given a lot of caring insight to his decisions. He doesn't like us, and trying to predict what he'll do or when is a waste of time. No one knows what he is or who he is.
