She trails off, not wanting to stutter through her excuses. Jim's right, it's not fair to compare her ship with his. And hasn't Captain Souza and her crew worked tirelessly to keep the Chiron running all through the war?
"I chose to work on the Chiron," she says finally, wanting to her explain herself. "I wanted to. I loved being in space. But-- but that was when I had a planet to return to. A home. It's not the same now." She takes a deep breath and dares to look at the Captain. "Your ship is designed for exploration, right? Mine isn't. Even though we're heading towards Earth... we're not prepared."
