I would say that it's doing the right thing; it's alerting you to the
fact that they've woken up and are no longer auto-exploring, and you
might want to do something about it.

I guess that if you were an AI the explorer would ask for a ferryboat
to go somewhere else (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong).
