The question (that will remain unanswered) is where is *his* first officer?
Second officer. Everyone gets a demotion of course
The flight officer has yellow shoulder pads, maybe she’s the first officer. She might be a better helmsperson than the usual.
This is where genre savvy Bob talks to the AI.
If he is smart, this was a prefect time to take a few weeks of leave time…
This all sounds way too nice and happy.. but I expect Bob is aware of this and going to figure out how to get off the mind controlled ship.
You know, in a *real* navy, command of the ship would remain with the ship’s usual captain. 😛
The admiral (commodore?) doesn’t know the ship and the crew as well as the captain, and has the bigger picture to worry about regardless.
