It is good, that at least we have his word that none of us have caused the end of the world. That's important, if it can be trusted.
But you don't understand. It wasn't just my interpretation of the data that was wrong. Two inmates have vanished. Inmates with watches. And I didn't get any readings at all from either of them.
There's no data, for inmates.
This whole project was useless from the start. All I've done is send people into a panic over information that was always being controlled -- information I got wrong!
[Is this a set-up? he wonders. Is the Admiral only answering questions to harm his credibility? Or...is it that he, Ford, is just a damned fool whose research causes panic and disaster and is never, ever right?
....he's a fool.]
I have to tell them. Put a stop to this. It's already gone far enough.

At least no one's been killed this time.
