- Alternative Character Interpretation: Brutus is quick to give up after seeing the toxic storm around At Attin and after one of his men tries to fly through and dies, accusing Jod of lying and trying to have him Thrown Out the Airlock almost immediately. Was he really just that oblivious to the fact a legendary treasure planet would likely be hidden and have defenses? Or was he just trying to get rid of Jod as fast as possible before the latter could try to pull something and would have kept investigating how to get to the planet once he got rid of him? Given that Jod, the second he has a chance, murders Brutus and takes back command, it's possible that Brutus was just trying to get rid of him and was using the fact At Attin seemingly wasn't present as a quick excuse to accuse him of lying in order to kill him before Jod could do the same to him.
