Driftwood/Session 8

Our first order of business: how do we deal with the fallout from Job taking over Georg's position as captain? The responses vary greatly, starting with his second-in-command:
*New first mate Darius decides to canvas the rest of the officers' reactions. Fritz reveals to Darius that Job is a "ticking fucking time bomb" since we couldn't afford to operate on him and ended up doing nothing. Darius is confused, because he sounds somewhat normal now, and Fritz insists that Job is just as unstable now but has convinced himself he's fine.
*With newfound concern, Darius looks up the ship security protocols but doesn't find much. Given enough time and some help, he could probably find what he needs… but how much time do we have before Job leads us on a suicide mission? It's safe to say that open revolt isn't on the table right now, especially given his agreement with parts of Job's plan, but Darius continues to search for contingencies should he need one.
How does everyone else feel right now?
*Fritz is concerned (and a bit paranoid) that Job will turn on him next should trying to do his job get in the way of Job's fanaticism.
*Ossirc accepts Job's authority over him but laments losing the ability to tell him to fuck off.
*Fulton is trying not to make any noise.
*Drakr is happy in his role, and Job's leadership is a motivator.
*Elowel doesn't know anyone else that well, so she doesn't care.
Despite her indifference, Elowel formally introduces herself to the crew, then decides to share the audio tapes she's been secretly recording with Fritz. Fritz learns about Georg's fate: how Drakr dragged him away, Zeta pursued them without intervening, and Job ultimately doomed Georg to a life of slavery by leaving him behind.
Fritz, thoroughly shocked, shares this information with Darius and Fulton, believing the three of them to be next in Job's firing line. Darius is now convinced this is a pressing issue and they have a discussion to form a contingency plan. Fulton is noncommittal, wanting mainly to escape at his first convenience, but Darius pleads for his help with the security protocols. Fritz, for his part, decides to start making poison. The goal, potentially, is to cover up Job's death in the line of duty (i.e. on a boarding action) so it won't be investigated. Can Captain Job be stopped before dragging us all over the event horizon…?
