It’s called “enforcing discipline in a crew of pirates, smugglers and newly-minted-servicemen-ex-terrorists”. They were on the clock, they had to stay on course to complete the weapon, and they did not have the luxuty of second-guessing.

In a story-universe that has many factions I usally can’t keep everyone straight, which is why I lost interest in Star-Trek: Deep Space Nine (its many passionate fans notwithstanding), and I don’t care for Bug Eyed monsters, but what has drawn me in to this series are the social-science aspects — Ursula LeGuin would…
