He starts off with no choice in the matter, stuck on a spaceship and on the run from the Federation... but he somehow keeps finding reasons to ''not'' leave the ship and Blake, whom he professes to [[Cannot Stand Them Cannot Live Without Them|despise]]. After {{spoiler|losing Blake}} he should have been free to go, but instead spends the remaining two years in command of the crew and ''{{spoiler|looking for Blake.}}''
