Bugs

 * If you talk to Kells while he is standing in front of the machinery, one of the nearby lancer-knights may walk into him. When this happens, there is a chance that Kells will levitate toward the ceiling.
 * If you talk to Kells he will only repeat his a few lines about how he maintains the ship, along with other generic responses making it impossible to complete lost patrol as well as impossible to start his own missions. The only known solution is to reload an earlier save file.
