Text: A Query

[tis_disapproval]

'Tis a most curious observation...

Reading back through this assortment of thoughts, hushed messages and madness, it truly does seem as if, for the most part, only the most maniacal and sure to fail possess the ambition necessary to actively desire possessing this poisoned chalice we presently call 'home'.

Power, I understand.

Insanity, I do not.

The next time one of you contemplates this, might I suggest the very act of doing so does nothing but justify your being kept here?

A wise man once said, "Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Which is a problem, if one does not have power." To be stripped of it means they'll clutch it however they can, even if it is through the inferior means of this ship.

Though there certainly have been worse times the ship was overrun.

He seemed fairly sane to me. A troublesome inconvenience, but sane.

Perhaps the next person to seize the barge will do so out of severely misplaced goodwill. Would that still fall in the spectrum of insanity?

Lack of ambition is not why he failed.
