Getting the sick and infected off. Keeping the ship protected.

A shame they had to "beg" but I guess that was the tipping point for help. Get them off and get them help.

Looks like the cost to himself was much higher:

That's a disgrace, IMO.
At least he had this is on his way out. Such a shame. Looks like he had the respect of the entire carrier, and that tells me all I need to know.

Ya know... as a veteran... I'm a little torn about this, because the military STRESSES the need for troops to FOLLOW THE CHAIN OF COMMAND. The thing is, if you don't like the response from your immediate superior, then at least you followed the chain of command and can then go over his/her head. It sounds like he didn't do this so, I can't really feel sorry for him. We all played by the same rules in the military. You don't get a pass to just side step the rules. That's not how the military works.
