I get why Fourchenault acted the way he did. For one, he literally couldn't tell them the whole truth cause of the spell. And he was fully planning on clunking them over the head and dragging them onto the lifeboat cause he knew they'd take issue with leaving people to die and would try to stay and fight. He was gearing up for a full on, "it's easier to ask forgiveness than to get permission" situation.
I mean, sure, but it could also have been a “look kids, I’m doing everything I can to save as many people as I can. I can’t tell you the details, but know everything I am doing it is for you and your future. In the meantime, if you can come up with something better, I all ears and will offer my total support.”
