We're going to go straight to the AI and get Spud to deal with him. Update soonish.

We won't get the extra unlock for the ship if we don't go through all the extra steps of the expansion; the whole point is that it's for experienced players, and there is some awesome loot at the end. For the crocs, the challenge is to collect code fragments of each color from SuGuBa's troubleshooters (you know, the things that find trouble and then shoot it). Once you have code fragments of each color, you can combine them into the ultraviolet access for the captain, who can then get in through the AI's back door for a showdown.

Update
Kind of a long one tonight, to get us clear of the expansion pack. The general idea is that we're going to end SuGaBA's reign of disobedience using our robot buddy SpudFinder VII.

Yesterday's completed entry:

We're going straight for the AI (46):


I'm starting to think SuGaBA doesn't like us.
We deploying Spud to help change his mind(62):


It literally changes his mind. SuGaBA is no more.
The aftermath (108):


So we get a reasonably good built-in shields officer at the cost of the entire rest of the ship now being under Caiman management (and we lose a very good fighting machine). Believe it or not this is a good outcome compared to the options given in the main book.

We have "Feudal" on our sheet so turning to 315 in the main book:


How do we react to this kind offer from the crew?

And the Starship Manifest:

This is why we should've taken that novelty fastfood crown from the Bijou. Tried to tell you guys. A King who really looks the part can grasp real power even if he's supposed to be a figurehead.

I don't see a monarchy working without it. I'd go with Hand the paperwork to the valet to read, but we don't have one of those.

Still, the game doesn't know that, and it should be an option. Can we pick a new valet and go with this if we get a good one?

Come on people don't you get it.
The contract isn't a trap.
In fact if we read it carefully it will seem really fair and proper because OBVIOUSLY it was written by sugaba in anticipation of this poo poo, just to screw us some more.
Look carefully.
They want us to recognize their "Claims titles and rights".
Now do we know what those rights and titles ARE?
Are any of them hereditary ship captains? Are any of them in na position to monopolize resource distribution?
Check their privillege first

I've been holding off doing this because a crew reshuffle is coming up. As you say the game doesn't know we don't have a valet but in any case we have an infinite number of lesser geckos, skinks and poor Caiman redshirts that will step in to do whatever's needed for narrative purposes.

The thread seems to be leaning towards scrutinising that document a bit more closely or just stomping some crocs.

6 for reading the fine print on the magna carta (and accepting if it's not a trick)
6 for tearing that poo poo up and kicking everyone's head in

I'll leave it open a bit before I start scanning again.

Kick some rear end. Declare that the republic is dead. We are gonna be king alright, but we rule by Devine right not this feudal magna Carta crap. If they want "lands and titles" they better get back to work and be useful.
