It's at least not the Tranquility. But Desmond had needed the company and Ric wasn't about to let Jenna go along ( well let is a strong word, but he didn't want her to go, so he did ).

Which brings us to now and Desmond being Desmond and Kirk, well, being Kirk. ]

[ Ric, let's tone down the sarcasm and focus on what's going on. ]
