Why didn't he just move seats tho?
Because that's a less interesting story
Too fucking tired. Bugger that. Just move the sun.
Why move when you can command thousands of tons of steel and hundreds of people to move for you?
Because the military attracts people who get off on asserting power over others.
It might just be two seats with a small table between them. Maybe some other seating without tables. I don't know how many officers are on one ship or what size lounge fits how many on staggered shifts.
Because there’s also a table.
Just moved to the next table. That’s what we did.
