I'm not really sure about this, but I'm starting to wonder about the reasons some of these kids were on star org ships?
Some mention rehab, others don't seem quite there, some seem likely to be traumatized and a few just seem like every day teenagers. It makes it more puzzling, having them all on star org ship that he captures and them keep on sending the ships after him full of the kids.
It's so puzzling, should be interesting to find out the reasons though.
