[@DeepestApology] Good question! Also, points for making a Mass Effect reference.

The Pilot is the helmsman, as well as the commander of the expedition while they are on the ship. So they're in charge, until the group steps foot on solid ground at the Willman Lab. They are the direct superior to all of the ship's crew, and indirectly in charge of those tagging along on the expedition because they're riding in his/her ship.

Oh god. All right then, that's not the right role for me! Never been a big fan of dictating the right orders and taking all possible responsabilities in front of a martial court. Assumed we survive, of course.
