[despite their previous disagreement, Skulduggery feels a BIG MOOD over Pal's first text. in the end, they can both agree that MIND-WIPING IS NOT A SOLUTION TO YOUR PROBLEMS.]
Big yikes, indeed. I don't know what he was thinking. OBVIOUSLY, neither does he! 🙄
The necromancer angle still holds water, I agree. We know that he's from Earth, but that only limits the various cults he might belong to. Not mine, certainly. Darlington is from an Earth with magic, so he may be a good resource. There aren't many magically-oriented Earths present, however, so we may be limited in that respect.
Hmm... Best not to be hasty and give him something that may make the situation worse. Although of course, now I'm interested to know what sort of process it would entail. And would it work even if we don't know what the Captain is? Definitely something to keep in mind; let me know if you need my help, whatever it amounts to.
Ah. In this case, I mean more-or-less that, if we're faced with an impossible situation where death is the only safe outcome -- as opposed to, say, torture on the atomic level -- then we should plan to take as much of the suffering out of the equation as possible. I wouldn't suggest we simply turn each other over for wanton destruction. Although, as Natsuno has so helpfully pointed out, there are certainly people aboard who delight in the murder and mayhem. Mmm. It's a tricky position.
[he's thinking about Max, obviously. His favorite friend who loves murdering people with guns. AND SPEAKING OF MAX --]
AH! I just remembered something I need to tell you. Two things, actually.
1) Venti managed to retrieve a star map from Jinx, which was gained when earlier passengers got aboard Jenny's ship. I know your talents lie with reading objects -- would you like to take a look?
2) I learned recently that the Captain has referred to the ship as an "astral chamber." This means very little to me, except that it's like learning which of the fifteen castles in the vicinity is housing the evil lair. Maybe it means something to you?
