The process offers her some insight into Jacks contact with her, along with how this whole outfit operates.
Some ships live, some die, and its all a matter of luck and chance.
She notices a ship coming toward them, and referencing Jacks logs, she discovers its the Abigail.

So she wants to go find her family, and Jack agrees to come with Alicia.
And why is that exactly?
is the reason Travis was brought on the ship.
Alex offered them the Abigail, and in return, she asked for Travis.
She harbors great anger for what happened to her and her friend while Travis did nothing to save them.
Well, not much because Travis certainly expresses that guilt.
Salazar, ever the calm, cool, and collected badass, has no fear of him, though.
(He also learns from the whole talk that hes Connors brother and a bit about their operation.)
Madison never wants Nick to go out on his own again like that.
Nick may not be the one to worry about at this time, though.
Chris feels guilty for not having shot Reeds party the second they got on the Abigail.
Hes quite susceptible to any influence at the moment, so luckily Nick steps in to stop the conversation.
But eventually Chris gives in to his desire to make things right, to not choke again.
The Abigail finds its way close enough to Connors hideout, and the pirate leader radios into their boat.
Connor agrees almost immediately, so long as only one person accompanies Reed to the trade.
Oh, but this is inThe Walking Deaduniverse, so naturally it wont be smooth sailing.
He shot Reed, repeating over and over again that Reed was sick and going to turn.
Chris says he had to kill him and asks Madison whether she knew that was the truth.
She never agrees, only trying to comfort the boy while the others clean up his mess.
Chris missed the brain entirely, and so they face killing Reeds body a second time.
So Connor comes to the dock as Madison approaches with just one captive.
Reed bites another of Connors men while another charges after Travis to take revenge.
The two fight while Alicia manages to find her way back to the top of the boat.
Hes upset she planned to leave without him because he was planning to go with her.
He tries to make her stay, claiming her family will just abandon her at some point.
