Archie leans back in his chair quietly, thinking this over for a very long time.
"Drawing from my personal experience . . . what are the ethics of mutiny? Say that your superior officer can be proven to be a threat to the lives and well-being of his crew -- say if he is credibly mad. However, you are bound by the law to adhere to the chain of command and the command of said superior officer. To obey his commands, on the other hand, would be a detriment to not only the ship and crew, but to the fleet as a whole. Can it be argued, one way or the other, that mutiny is the more honorable option?"
He smiles, a little bitterly. "I never did get to find out the answer for myself."
