"That's exactly what he was doing. But we didn't realize it at the time, of course. We ended up putting him in a cage. I thought we were going to have to turn back to resupply, but the crew just said that we could eat verdant vines for a while, so no reason not to continue. So we did continue and in fact got to the border of the Midnight before dropping anchor. Didn't want to continue at night, obviously. But the whole situation was worrisome, because the plans we had involved Huck sneaking into the tower and letting us in, which we obviously couldn't do. I couldn't help but think I was leading the crew that trusted me into certain death. So I decided to have them set down the launch and I was going to row into the Midnight alone."
