It's not really your fault that other people reacted the way they did. Library on fire or not, Betelgeuse has his own emotional issues to get hold of. Getting him some better ways of dealing with being upset is on my to-do list.

What you did was good, Ford. People got upset because they thought we might be doing something awful, because they care about the people we leave behind and the worlds we go through. I also think that we should continue to inspect and study the path we leave, not just blindly trust the Admiral either.
