There are vague threats in the Beta region, but nothing out here,” was my lame attempt at an answer. “Dr. Rannor, what exactly was this colony there to do?” asked the captain. “Well, they were researching biological warfare,” began the doctor. “Are you telling me we may have experimental bugs to deal with on top of everything?” “If the attackers raided the bio-labs, then yes. If the labs were merely hit in an attack, the safety systems would automatically destroy the live cultures, eliminating any chance of contamination. However, since we do not know much about the attackers, we have to assume they could have taken control of the stockpile.”",

In any event, disaster. \"So without a captain, the ship cannot navigate.\" \"Yes,\" the captain said, \"What's your point?\" Zeitoun smiled. \"Look above you, at the stars and moon. How do the stars keep their place in the sky, how does the moon rotate around the earth, the earth around the sun? Who's navigating?\" The captain smiled at Zeitoun. He'd been led into a trap. \"Without someone guiding us,\" Zeitoun finished, \"wouldn't the stars and moon fall to earth, wouldn't the oceans overrun the land? Any vessel, any carrier of humans, needs a captain, yes?\" The captain was taken with the beauty of the metaphor, and let his silence imply surrender.”",
