> do psionics actually get employed as the “helmsmen” of ships or was that just a poetic title for mituna. i don’t think he actually got to choose where to steer that thing

as malo’s comment helped me realise, I think this is supposed to be an ironic joke: Mituna is the “helmsman” of a ship in name only, his own “helm” having been in reality cauterized (Cronus: our behelmeted buddy […] #helmchan) so that the Condesce can call the shots from atop his shoulders.

which presumably serves to illuminates more about our other beloved helmchan, Jake, whose head had to be fucked with to make way for the true Captain English?
