We very well could have. Don't misunderstand me - despite my words to Shard, the thought upsets me too. But I believe that to be the fault of the Captain, more than the fault of anyone else involved.

Even so, your anger is well-justified, and well-earned by those who receive it.

[So, yeah, it's kind of an "everyone sucks here, but especially the Captain."]

Thank you, for your willingness to defend me from false accusation.
