 How does Burleigh feel about Moran?
From the viewpoint of the Nadine's ship's company, it was simply necessary to get rid of Moran. Wherever the yacht landed, such a disparity between its documents and its crew would spark an investigation. Moran, at least, would be picked out as a fugitive from Coryus Three. "It's weak," observed Burleigh. "I think," said Carol, to Moran, "that if it's too tropical where this signal's coming from, we'll take you somewhere near enough to the ice-cap to have an endurable climate. Moran's own situation was perfectly clear. Moran had needed to get off-planet, and fast. Burleigh used rockets, issuing great bellowings of flame, to make actual contact.
 Burleigh is angry with Moran for putting the crew in this position. They don't want to kill Moran, but they can't arrive with 6 crew. A marooned man at least has a fighting chance.
 Burleigh thinks Moran is annoying. They would be at their intended destination now if Moran hadn't highjacked the Nadine.  Burleigh respects Moran. He doesn't want to kill him, but he can't keep Moran on the Nadine. A marooned man at least has a fighting chance.  Burleigh is angry with Moran for putting the crew in this position. They don't want to kill Moran, but they can't arrive with 6 crew. A marooned man at least has a fighting chance.  Moran intimidates Burleigh. Moran took control of the ship once, if the crew is not careful, he may do it again.
