[An exasperated chuckle ripples off Ted.]

Oh good Lord, this again. Forgive Namur; he's a history of piracy, you see, where mutiny and other kinds of casual treachery was common.

[Yes, he knows his wasn't as bleak as the kind depicted in Treasure Island, but they get that rap for a reason. Ted turned to him.]

Namur, with your keen senses, I've to question why you recruited any you suspected of wishing to kill you. Not the sort of stock one would want for a rescue mission, eh? If that's what you'd like to avoid, then it'd behoove you to deprive us of good reason. If ever we bay for your blood, this self-serving secrecy will be why.

But more than that, you are, for all intents and purposes, our captain. Meaning the welfare of the crew ought to be near and dear to your heart. Meaning if your goldfish brain cooked up some brilliant strategy, then for God's and their sake, please, share with the rest of the class, should they find themselves in better position to carry it out than you.

Again, if you're going to be captain, the least you could do is act the part. Let's not have the present rhyme with the past.

[That's his way of saying, "Remember when you were secretive about Teach?"]
