Chaplain: THE VILE ENERGY!

Tremendous willpower wells up within you, screaming for you to act. Plunge your sword through him! Reduce the unworthy to so much limp meat and false words! But who is "him" here? You are no psychic sensitive, no empath or supernatural esper. You'd need to commune with the Stars of Libra to get a good read on which of these two is conducting the Grey Tide, or to know it's conducted at all, like when you heard Neutron speaking to WhiteDwarf. But you know something here is wrong. It takes no connection with the divine or the supernatural to understand that everything has gone wrong.

Is Captain betraying his duty in a cowardly way? Has he abandoned his post and broken his oath? Is HeadOfSecurity succumbing to an unworthy compulsion? Is the man cracking under the pressure of nuclear threat?

It's unclear. You listen in on their verbal confrontation, and try to judge their arguments.

Captain: Reason with the unreasonable. Stall.
