Spoiler warning! This article contains major spoilers for Passage on the Jade Moon Pt. 3. Tread carefully! |
Please do not ask about the Captain of the Jade Moon.
The lights of their cabin are off, the windows blacked out. Teak, the first mate, handles all communication with passengers.
The Captain is composed of an enormous number of roiling bugs, completely filling up the pilothouse of the Jade Moon. This is not a horrifying transformation, as while it is not clear whether they were once human (or another type of normal person), they are in favor of this manner of existence; they note that other people would not be so easily reconstituted from basic parts as them or Duvall. They also love their job, and regret that this is the boat's last voyage before scuttling.
