The Captain sounds rather flippant about the fact that she's estimating maybe three or four months left of life, but she's known about her impending death for a while now. It's just not something that her race is overly concerned about.
< If that should happen, the Ship will obviously die with us, so you and the rest of our guests would have to find another method of transport to get you back Home. It shouldn't be impossible to do... but getting there without that hassle would be preferable. >
She says that last sentence with a certain hesitance, because although her race does love to travel, they aren't exactly numerous. Depending on where they end up stopping, it might very well be difficult to find someone able to make the voyage to Home.
