text; sorry this is so long

i don't know much about greek mythology but here's what i've got.

maybe i'm going about this the wrong way but a lot of the facts don't line up. resnik is hiding from someone/something, but two/actually three jumps ago ward killed all those pirates so the outside world couldn't find out about us. assuming this is actually the reason he killed them and not just for fun the question is WHY? what are they trying to hide from the outside world??

ok because:
1. obviously the outside world knows the ship exists. every jump our location changes by a lot, right? i don't know anything about the physics behind this but that's what i'm guessing. so it can't be the location.
2. the ship is driving itself. we can't even control the location and nobody has any idea where we're going. knowing the location isn't going to help anyone find us. also we are somehow magically avoiding anywhere we could possibly be found despite being "wanted" which is probably a lot of places.

so it's not the existence and it's probably not the location.

i guess maybe we have a preprogrammed flight path and if someone knows where we are now there's a risk they could figure out where we will be in the future? but if we had a preprogrammed flight path someone would have figured out where to find us already i mean it's been 40 years that's a lot of time in the technology world. also that would mean ward and resnik know where we're going and aren't telling us which is also a possibility.

anyway location is still doubtful. so what do they need to stop the outside world from finding out about us, and why would the outside world finding out be bad?

also do we know what the loud creepy noise actually is?
