I count two ("Which way...this mountain" in 64 and "ANDI!!!" in 65). Are you counting every single balloon?



This is clearly false. Helmsman had to ask for directions before she even bothered to look forward to see that her previous order was taking them towards a mountain.
Gave an order in 63. 'Nagged' in 64. Whatever way you slice it, an order came first.

False. It is central.
How?


Which she obviously is not. Without a captain, the helmsman would've continued on the known path towards the exist. Her interference made everything significantly worse.
Then why did they listen to her at all? If no captain is better than Andi-captain then why listen to her?
Punching someone in the nose is not a vicious assault. Hitting someone in the back of the head with a heavy wrench is vicious.
Not when you immediately turn your head after an unreasonable provocation of someone carrying a heavy wrench in their dominant hand.


The head engineer of a ship should not need to be told to fix things during battle. Nor is it the engineer's place to spend her time in said battle bothering the captain.

Fiddling while Rome is burning is not a good use of the engineer's time. It was perfectly reasonable to expect explicit instructions on what to prioritise. Just as the helmsman desired explicit instructions also.

She may not have a right to know what the plan is, but surely she has a right to know her part in it. I have a hard time thinking that if Andi had gone down and fixed the gas when they needed the fins, that Andi-haters would be at all forgiving.
