[ Robin stares at her screen for a minute, clearly discontent with the answers she's being given.
So the Captains' story is that they arrived here the same way as everyone else, that they don't know anything about anything, and that they're too scared to try to fix the biggest problem on the ship. That raises one important question in Robin's mind: Why are they the Captains?
It isn't because of their leadership skills, clearly. It isn't because they share a bond with the crew, either, if they really require a liason with their own crew. And if their first mate is to be believed, they don't seem to have any useful knowledge about the ship itself. Robin can't b help but think back to the few pirates she's met in her lifetime - who are often led by the greediest and cruelest of the group. Maybe this is like that?
She doesn't voice these concerns to Elizabeth, of course. Such a conversation topic would be skirting pretty close to mutiny - which is not something that one discusses in front of the first mate.]
I see. I think I understand how things are now, thank you.
[It's the truth. Whether the captains are a bunch of completely unhelpful fools, or a malicious lot that's been lying about everything, it seems pretty clear that they're going to be need to be taken care of. ]
