Did Ketis or the author forget that they already established that breakdowns were going to get worse the closer to the ship they got? That was why Ketis wanted to go and tame the wild godlings earlier in the book.
I am truly starting to understand how the author is 5000 plus chapters into the story. The lengthy descriptions of mundane things are incredulous. Most of us understood that this whole sector is rife with rip-off people several chapters ago.
