No mention is made of him making restitution to the inhabitants of Destiny
for this 'wanton act of destruction' [blowing up the Ortega] despite their being fairly cash strapped at the time. No doubt he would have felt morally obliged to do so - so would he have paid the equivalent sum, or provided them with 'another spaceship of equal or better quality'? (The rest of the crew would - probably - concur with replacing what had been destroyed, even 'I am a man of my word' (g).)
