[For those listening keenly a note of obvious exhaustion may be heard behind Elidibus's words. Nevertheless he keeps a calm, clear tone throughout his communication.]
In the wake of the Voidtrecker Express's announcement, I would like to speak in support of its request and efforts.
Despite our personal feelings about our plight, it has sought to try and send those of us who wished to return home back to our worlds. Given the uncertain nature of our tethers and the amount of aether such an endeavor must have cost it, it heeded our will.
It should not be the target of blame for not succeeding, nor that others may have been accidentally caught in its efforts despite their desire to remain.
The Voidtrecker Express did not choose to send a select few to see if it were possible but instead attempted to aid all of us fairly. And we accepted that offer despite the possible consequences. There could have been much more dire outcome for such a monumental effort, including our tethers being strained to the point of breaking, leaving us at the mercy of voidspace or the destruction of the train itself and with it, the loss of those who chose to stay.
Pray speak if you feel differently about whether the Voidtrecker Express is to blame. But I also ask you try not to dwell overlong on fault. Rest and recover and take what you can from this experience. This is not the end of our journey.

We need to keep drillin' it into her head she can't keep doin' this on her own. If not trustin' us with contribution, this shoulda been done with more aid from some professionals. I actually thought maybe she reached out at the time.
We need to save up ever'thin' that went wrong and give it to #3 if we ever get the chance to contact 'em.
TL;DR - Garbage In, Garbage Out
Allow me to explain a little of my earlier request. Many are complicit in treating the Voidtrecker Express as a sentient being with the same common sense of values we're accustomed to. Including taking the onus of duty solely upon itself with the mistaken belief we can't aid it.
I do not know enough of its creation to judge whether this is true. But what is equally likely is that it is a construct. A machine with a very intricate but ultimately artificial intelligence. Thus, if told by an overwhelming majority of those under its charge that they wish to return home and given no instructions to the contrary not to permit it, the Voidtrecker Express will seek to follow these orders to the best of its ability.
The amount and inherent problems with the current system seems to have overwhelmed the available resources. This would not be the fault of the construct, but an oversight by those who wished to make use of it not to better understand its limits. Likewise, it was an oversight on our part to not request having the Void Ministry professionals on standby.
It is good to make sure we learn from this and convey our wishes with more clarity to the Voidtrecker Express. But we must also accept personal responsibility and move forward accordingly. If fortune favors, there will be logs of the incident it is able to send to the Void Ministry, if that is the wish of its crew.

I'm sayin' if we wanna push for somethin', push for world #3 or someone from there to get involved with her. They'd probably know the best.

Though I wouldn't argue that this is something for a discussion in coming days. Perhaps after the next arrivals, provided this incident hasn't caused a delay in the usual schedule the Voidtrecker Express seems to follow.

I'll respect that she knew she fucked up, at least.

I only spoke in support of the Voidtrecker Express in this instance. If people choose to remain angered, it's ultimately their decision.
There are certainly many reasons to be.

Anyway, I ain't got a lotta places to be. You see me around just sit down and I'll probably be open for talkin', or you name the place.

...The Voidtrecker Express spoke for itself as you say. I'm not sure why my decision to offer support would lead someone to question whether it's based on romantic attraction.
After consideration, during and after the events of the last few days and in the wake of the train's announcement, I felt it best to speak. And for clarity's sake, I'm asking no one to not address the problems which led to events unfolding as they did. Only to not fall prey to assigning blame and thus becoming lost in the accusations before the problems can be resolved in our future.
I will seek you out on the 'morrow. Until then.

[Hell, who is he to say what other people are into? Yondu at least prefers his AI bipedal, though.]
I dunno if you was out there or if anyone told ya, but there was also evidence that the void started leakin' into our worlds. Which is a little bigger'n us bein' in trouble. But I'll save the rest of that conversation for private.
[Meaning that it was more than the lot of them that were in trouble out there. That mistake might have been a real big one.]

[ Let's just not go into the romantic life of Elidibus, it might hurt someone's brains thinking about the possibility. ]
I was one who had departed, yes. And I've been aware of the anomaly. But thank you for mentioning it. I'll be sure to discuss it further with you.
[ Subtly glossing over he found out only after he returned because of a small case of death before it started. But that's neither here nor there! ]

[ Elidibus doesn't sound like he's doing anything other than stating a fact. ]
Do you have a more definite idea of the nature behind the Voidtrecker Express? I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on the matter.
no subject
[And one of the fruits of that industry is present on this very train in the form of the companion drone that follows Devero around.]
No more definite than anyone else; I'm going by my experiences and my knowledge same as anyone else. The train's sapience is limited in very familiar ways, that's all.
