It was one time. Dylan had to know it wasn't going to last.

"There's a few of us up here. Most of us are okay. You know all the times you and Beka told me off for keeping food on the Maru, finally paid off. I mean I gave most of it to Captain Rogers, boss, but you know how it is."

Dylan might just have missed out on the most interesting part of the message. That the engineer had given most of the food away and not eaten it himself and that he'd actually just called someone Captain that wasn't Beka or being sarcastic.
