Until very, very recently, I was also fairly on board with the idea of overthrowing the
Captain, killing him, or at the very least imprisoning him in some awful little room.
But the more I learn about our situation and our captor, the less angry I am and the more
curious I become. Why is he so desperate to become a God? What would deification help him
achieve that he can't already do now? He has so much power and he says he's focused on
one goal, but his efforts seem scattered. He's been at this for so long, and yet all he
knows is that he was on Earth in the late 1980s, he's a shapeshifter, and the only things
he's kept with him from before all of this are books on magic and one book on religious
teachings. He's said that fighting him is part of the process, but WHY? What does that
help him achieve?

I find that the more questions I have about a person, the less inclined I am to shoot
them. It was easier to dislike him when I thought he was yet another two-dimensional
maniac with too much magical power and a penchant for sadism.

...Cordial is probably the only appropriate word for it.
