I thought maybe he was Absent with leave from the Captain.
AWOL is another matter. maybe we better keep the plank handy for when he returns. Or better still paint the generator room something he won't like.

*consulting the ships manual for plumbing systems, alec deftly changes the settings on the backlog tank pumpout system. Opening certain valves and closing others on the huge manifold, turning on scavenger pumps and transfer pumps, alec carefully pumps all of the offending liquid straight into Darkbags boots.*

Indeed Capting, if you hold Snackbeards head up to the light and look carefully in his earhole, you can actually see his 'brain' working.
