Ah hah, Zoey knows things.  In fact, if you ranked everyone according to how much they know, Zoey is around the top…and Captain T is at the bottom, for being stupid enough to let the ship’s wheel get away from him.

Zoey: Unbelievable. And by that I mean I don't believe any of it. Except, you taped him opening the package.
Roger: The crate full of skulls? You send it!?
Zoey: Haha, no. There are go-betweens between go-betweens between me and the sender. But I knew about it, and you couldn't have. I'll call in some favors to hack that air force base. Expensive favors. Are you sure this is still necessary?
Roger: Um. Wait a minute. I'll check. Yes. Necessary. Help, please.
Zoey: Crybaby. Okay, I'm launching the attack. Now let's talk about you.

  1. Wheel directly linked to the rudder? Or, in this case, power pod? Hmmm, there’s always a built in feedback, but that storm has to be violent, which, granted, is always the case up there…

    Well, Ming, for this one I’m just going to have to plead that it’s a joke, don’t analyze it too seriously. 🙂

  5. It really more of a metaphor for how manipulative an editor can be…Think of wives or Pomeranians…
