[So, the captain has yet to be told of these suspicions, and him becoming aware of the finer details might be more hazardous than helpful. ...No, but that does track, unfortunately. Jade still remembers October quite well--and the fact that, at least in part, the loosening of the ship's trapped spirits at that time was tied to the captain's highly adverse reaction to the memory-infused item they'd retrieved for him on the salamander island.
The reminder of Friday's highly unfortunate habit of handling sundries items far too carelessly, on the other hand, earns a grimace perhaps somewhat tangible through text.]
Miss Friday truly could do to learn a few things about vetting foreign items before deciding to distribute them willy-nilly. But you're right, she probably gave that delivery to Fio about as much thought as she did to stowing away those cursed gauntlets of yours that time back...
[Anyway, though. Setting that bygone misfortune aside...and focusing upon what they can at least somewhat control, here and now...]
In any case. If we're both parsing these developments correctly, I think the answer to your original concern becomes plain. It's not ideal that it's happening, but since it seems to be something that's going to unfold regardless of our wishes, you may as well draw the full utility that you can from it.
There is nothing sentimental in the least, after all, about a warning that we're about to deal with something that has potential to be far more active and murderous than the captain has been in quite awhile. Furthermore, since this problem springs from the captain's original ruleset, and may also be a part of himself, the captain's input could very well be an essential key to dispelling it this time.
If the captain truly does wish to change the rules into something more in line with your wishes, that's all good and well on its own. But as I see it, we now have an even more compelling reason to collectively figure out how to circumvent those restrictions too, entirely beside your own feelings on the matter: Something worse is coming, and modifying the rules may be the only way to stop it.
I would frame it in this way, to whoever else you might opt to tell.
