Do you think ‘unsettling’ is a clue? Like a massive earthquake swarm? He could have used disturbing, unnerving, discouraging...

Personally I think Captain Chaos probably had tee many martooni’s and some other controlled substance and was rocking a hangover. Or more than one of the five voices in his head was talking at the same time.
Maybe he’s worried that Darkhorse is for real.
