“From what we know, from the train, the former crew is lost. Asking questions leads to the train screaming at us to find them.” Senku said with a bit of a frown. “But that’s not terribly helpful. Good to know, but not helpful in finding the origin point.”
“I’m no longer debating on the sentience, it’s clear she’s a sentient being.” Senku acknowledged. “If a flawed one, but the biggest single count against the train is the fact we’re being captured and held against our wills. I have no desire to push my will on anyone else. I only want people to be given the choice. I’m not suggesting everyone has to go home.” He said, by way of explanation.
“I, however, have to. You know these catastrophe missions? That’s my world. Catastrophe’s already happened and I have an important role there.” He said all too seriously. “I’m filling a lot of roles at home that don’t exist otherwise and keeping people alive.” That was his biggest defense. He had a village, a kingdom of people to look after.
“In regards to the craft itself, she said that normally there is a pilot. It can operate on autopilot, but that’s atypical, which is why there is usually access to the engine car. I get the sense Anan has more information that she gets when entering a new world than we do. Not that the train lies to us, but rather it’s curating information. You might not know this unless you count or have some other way to tell time, but we are operating on a twenty-seven hour clock on board the train. Nine hours of light, twelve hours of darkness and six hours of enforced rest. The enforced rest is normal. Anan’s craft operates on a different clock, and is based on her home world.” He smiled. “That’s why time is apparently important, and potentially tied to the tether itself, since she explained to me how a tether is normally done."
