 My first priority was to make sure that my ship and crew would be safe. I flat-out asked if my interlocutors were aware of any plans to hijack or otherwise take control of the ship. Both Ms. Huang and Mr. Segal replied in the affirmative: the former covertly, the latter out-loud. I intend to discuss what they know of these plans with them in greater detail during the upcoming days and take all necessary precautions.\\
- For now, I have ordered my Comms Officer to airwall all comms systems of the ship from her main systems; and to only accept incoming signals from the facility comms centre. We have set up an encryption hash with Ms. Rucker and Mr. Serpico, using the optical systems that Ms. McAlly also used: to my knowledge, they are the only ones who can initiate an uplink with the Six that we would not summarily reject. We know that a ship can be hacked (apparently that was the fate of the P-1-PBB) and I do not intend to allow the same to befall the Six.

+=====Plans=====
+//GM Note: This is not a turnsheet; the character was a DPC and their plans were taken into account only as such. And yes, I have checked with Yangos this is ok.//
+After that, we discussed how to get the necessary supplies down to the planet. The original drop-pod plan still seems to be our best option and I have decided to pursue it. However, it is clear that the safety of my people cannot be assured and that I must take all precautions against rogue, desperate prisoners attacking the shuttles. The plan that we agreed on was the following:\\
+An expedition will be organised to Station Blue, where the drop-pods will be loaded onto lifters and 'folded' for shuttle transportation. We (i.e. the //Six//) will then designate the coordinates for the drop-off point. The lifter will travel there, deposit its cargo and depart - only after confirming this will we send shuttles down. The shuttles will perform several flyovers to make sure the area is clear; and then they will land.
+Personnel on-board will be armed.\\
+If we have the option of manufacturing the vaccines on-board the Six, they will have been innoculated; otherwise, they will be wearing sealed environmental / space suits, to protect them from airborne contaminants. They will inspect the drop-pods for any foul play; and then they will load them up into the shuttles and return to the Six. If we have not innoculated the crew, they will flush their atmosphere before docking (obviously still wearing their space-suits) to decontaminate the shuttles.\\
+We will then load the supplies onto the drop-pods, prioritising based on the list that Mr. Segal has sent us; and we will begin de-orbiting procedures ASAP, aiming for whatever point on the planet we are told to.\\
+That much I am confident we can pull off; the rest of the task we are presented with, however, is quite daunting. Unless action is taken, more than fifteen hundred souls will die. The only option is to provide them with professional help and medical facilities. As established above, seeking such in the Elysian Empire would be foolish and, probably, result in the death of my crew and myself as well, as those who authorised this atrocity seek to silence witnesses. \\
+My //only// option, at this point, therefore, is to load up the infected prisoners (for there is no ship that could reliably offer them transportation in time) and seek political asylum with the Tel or the Consortium. Given that this was a weapon likely intended to be used against the Tel, it makes sense that they will be most eager to find a cure and help these people - and accept to grant refuge to the crew of the //Six// as well.\\
+Treason, then.
+=====Further Details=====
++++ ADDENDUM +++\\
+I was informed by Ms. Rucker that some EIS agent is trying to contact my ship and seeks to extract via shuttle. No shuttle has been detected on approach, but this is something that requires caution - an EIS agent might compromise our plans. If a planetside shuttle launch is detected, I will allow it to approach (provided it follows instructions); and then I'll receive the person in question with an armed welcoming committee and throw them in a cell after searching them top-to-bottom like a prisoner. For one thing, I can't confirm their identity, with FTL comms down. For another, it seems like EIS might have killed the P-1-PBB and I don't feel very charitable towards them right now.\\
+If any planetside shuttle tries to approach without permission and/or without following our instructions, I'm taking the ship to a higher orbit; and, if I have too...\\
+Well, I'll see if we can jury-rig any ship-to-ship weapon with the supplies we have. If not...I'll ask for volunteers and if nobody steps up, I'm taking one of our shuttles and I'm personally ramming the fucker out of orbit.\\
+ People //need// to know what happened here and we can't risk the //Six//.
