[...it's good enough. Ford doesn't trust that he's going to be able to work through this one right now. But he'll try to remember that him dying upsets Stan, even though it doesn't upset Ford. ...mostly.]
That's right. The Admiral took the ship in for overdue maintenance. You already know part of it -- that's where he failed that performance review and forced us all to run off with him. It's also where I met an alternate version of you and the kids -- and Bill.
You were an inmate on one ship, and the kids were wardens. The other Bill was a warden on a third ship, which means he had all of his powers. All he wanted was to trigger your memories and bring his alternate self back to life.
I tried so hard to prevent it. Tried every trick I knew! In the end, we lost -- and that Bill told me something disturbing. He said that the alternate Ford on his ship came from a world where the plan you came up with wasn't possible. That Ford had had to make a deal with him to save the kids, and that Bill had kept him alive. They were partners. In, ah, every sense of the word.
