"It's true that I don't know how a Barge under an effective Admiral is run," says Ford. "I'd like to compare notes with someone who's been on board another one, but the last time we were around other Barges, I had other things on my mind.
"The ship we're on is stolen," Ford continues. "The last time the Admiral was brought in for a performance review, the Authority declared him incompetent and was going to decommission the ship. However, rather than accept his demotion with professionalism, the Admiral chose to run away, stealing another Barge and pulling us all on board against our will. He's either made us all accomplices to his plan, or the whole thing was for show, and we're in the same situation we've always been. The Authority doesn't seem like the kind of beings it's easy to steal from."
Ford sits back.
"I'd like to bring the ship back to them. Get some answers about why things happen like the haunted house and the mistletoe. Possibly get us all a competent Admiral, one who doesn't let five-sixths of us fall through the cracks. Or possibly end the game they've been playing with all of us."
He thinks there's a way to reach the Authority. He just doesn't know how.
