[God this is a lot of information and it all sounds like... such a mess.
Hange feels easier hearing it though. At least this man, who's made it to wardenhood now, wasn't Bill Cipher's qualmless ally. It all still sounds so, so precarious, but it's better than Ford wanting to help him, or simply not caring about the fates of the vulnerable mortals in whatever universe they'd pop out in.
Scouts like Hange are team players by training and necessity though. You couldn't have looped some discrete wardens in, Ford...?
What's done is done, anyway.]
At least you admit to the errors in judgment you made. [Hange sounds... calmed.] I can see the situation must have been complex. [Also the level of Bill-related anxiety indicated by the idea of Bill waiting the barge out, over the course of thousands of years... that's a Big Fear. Yikes.]
Who are the authority? I'm curious about them but hardly anyone seems to have been around here when this tub ran into them. I heard the Admiral made off with the boat...
[Bill told her this actually, and Hange has been wondering pretty much since they talked about it if he just wound her up and sent her off to info-gather. It seemed very plausible, and more plausible now; it's all made worse by the fact that Hange is genuinely very interested in the Authority and who they are and what they can do and what the whole thing implies about the actual superstructure of the universe that most people never get to see or poke at.]
