All right, this is all good fun and games, kids, but I'm going to be the one who spoils it by asking the question.

What the hell is going on?

And, for that matter, if we're the ones apparently running the show now, is anyone steering the boat?

[Ricki does not want the barge to smash into a sun and everyone to burn up, even though he's currently in the inmate-reclaimed bar and part of him is rather enjoying the fiddling.]

There is some evidence to suggest this ship is sentient. I think it does not need anyone to steer it in whatever particular direction it may take.

But it does appear to need something living to connect with.

[At least, that's Morgause's theory based on her earlier discussions with other people.]

[rickitikitarr]

The Admiral is dead, long live the Admirals?

[It's an alarming thought, to be sure.]

[youmayregretthat]

Perhaps he is dead. I cannot say for certain.

[If she had her magic, she could possibly discern whether he still lived or not.]

At the very least, he is missing and far beyond our reach.
