Problem.

Very, very big problem.

You know that situation that happens when you bite into a chocolate chip cookie and you realize that what you thought was chocolate chips and looked like chocolate chips was actually raisins in disguise?

I think that might have just happened.

Only with...brains instead of raisins.

Four. Four brains. There are four people on this Barge that aren't themselves. My.....someone's switched people's chocolate chip brains for raisins and we need to find them.

Two wardens, two inmates. And I need help finding the raisins and putting them back to chocolate chips before something worse than mild disappointment happens.

Not to cause a panic or anything. No one's panicking.

[Later, Private to Charles Xavier]

Mr...Xavier? Charles Xavier?

It's Ned. The, um. Piemaker.

...Raisins.

I'm... a sailor, a layman when it comes to medicine. D'you think you could explain a bit more simply.

How would they seem not themselves? Their voices-? Their actions?

A-ah.

I'll keep my eye out, then. But I'm no doctor. Don't think I'd know if someone had been beraisined.

No.

Are you?

I don't know many folk aboard this barge very well, but them I know I'll call in on today and see if they seem themselves. Is it doing them an injury, this thing-- how desperate's the situation?

[Bush considers this.]

On the bottom end of the scale, say, that a man has lost a finger in an accident and is making himself a nuisance in the infirmary. At the top say that a plague is in the ship and even with such roomy quarters it'll kill us all.

So when you told the crew not to panic it was because there wasn't anything to panic about yet, but there will be soon if it's not seen to.

I'm sure you would. Nevertheless--

Can't you give any other symptoms? Is it like drunkenness, like madness, like battle rage?

Ah. I see.
