The ship's captain, the mahata, tells the prophet that he's been waiting for him for a long time. He's sure that the prophet has mixed up with some other person. The mahata asks the prophet to come back and help him get home. The world is returning to chaos, he says, and the only way to get rid of it is to return to the way it was before the world came into existence. The prophet agrees, but says that everything else is pure madness. The only thing that can save the world is to leave the ship and be a guide to the chaos. The captain says that he doesn't know what to do, but he'll be a good guide. He says that the man who tried to kill him wasn't a prophet, and he'd rather forget about it.
