There's been a change of plans concerning former crewman Ploiatos.

I'm sure most people have heard about him by now, but with Mana disconnected from the ship and him asserting control, we can't allow him to take over. Especially as the effects are so dangerous to the current crew.

So we can't wait for him to stand trial. We need to quarantine and dispose of him. [And for this, he has some sympathy for their current captains. They spoke highly of the man Ploiatos was before he changed, and even knowing that he's not what he was making the decision to murder once loyal crew isn't an easy one.]

If this wasn't absolutely necessary I wouldn't advocate it. It sets a bad precedent. But this isn't just a case of killing a crewman that's become a danger to us without exploring other options. Ploiatos has been on board for over a year and during the entire time remained a consistent, pervasive threat.

So to stop what is happening to the ship we have to do what we have to do.

We'll need affected areas of the ship quarantined until he's removed and we'll need non-combatants placed out of range of the ship. Since there's nowhere to dock currently, we're looking at using transporters. And once Ploiatos himself fully contained we need to dispose of him. There should be several options open to us and given that there has been significant changeover in crew, a lot more we don't know about. [Considering how many people have their own special abilities.] Remember that Crewman Ploiatos is confused by large numbers of people and we can use that to our advantage. That's how he was contained the first time.

After that... well we can focus on repairing his damage.

[The video feed flicks on to show Hawke's face, cheerful, as ever but the video feed is slightly bumpy, like she's currently in motion. Indeed, upon closer inspection, she's clearly moving backwards somewhere in the engineering room.]

Hello everyone. We're all a lovely community of people from all sorts of places and powers, so I've come to reach out for your advice and expertise in a place that I am completely unfamiliar with. It's like stumbling about in the dark with your eyes shut and then blindfolded on top of that.

Please tell a mage how exactly to speak robot? And don't say "make beeping noises", that sounds a bit rude and I've already tried it. Because I think this one-

[She flicks the feed to show a funny looking robot shaped a bit like an L with a camera/claw hand face following her around, beeping cheerfully, with a bundle of wires in its grip.]

I think it fancies me. And I've tried to explain, you're machine, I'm a mage our love can never be. It would end in nothing but sadness and sparks but I don't think-[There's a jump as the robot gets close and she quickly takes a large step back. For all her grins, she does seem a bit... uneasy] I don't think it's coming across. So pointers are much appreciated.

And I wouldn't have to bother any of you with this if someone, Tony Stark, would control his other employees. This is clearly... some sort of... [Her face scrunches as she looks for the right words from his dictionary to use] Hach Are violation.
