but he would like to face that captain. ] I do have at least a rough plan of what I'd like to ask and chat with him. Whether this includes 'collection' or not... but if it does or not, it wouldn't really matter to you, does it?

And I would indeed like to plan this with you, if we are to attempt that bridge door again. If it comes down to it I don't mind losing a hand, I'd prefer that than for other people to suffer more.
