"I will not pull rank on you in this Robert," Heinrich says, "But something needs to be done. I will not be responsible for bringing alien agents onto our planet, regardless of their rank,"
"Some things are more important than the chain of command, but you must be prepared to accept the consequences,"

Karin sits next to Rob at breakfast to talk to him but she just can't think how to begin. and she just shoves her space rations around on the plate.

Juliette is beeing moody. At times happy, at times quiet. She spends some time off the helm with Sofia. Trying to get her to teach her some fancy computerskills. She does not notice anything odd about her fellow travelers. But beeing bored and paranoid she searches the ship, top to bottom, even the Demeter, looking for the trap she is sensing is going to spring on her.

Robert sighed. "I understand, but think how it would look if we killed them - that's what you're talking about, right?" he said. "We'd all be traitors. Who would listen to us then? I'm not afraid for myself, but I don't want anything to happen to you, Alison. Or to you, Sarge. Look, I willna say anything about this to anyone, but I think this is a bad idea. We don't even have any proof."

Amongst the group of conspirators... Hu hates that word... Hu shares his concern based on what Robert voiced. "To get proof, we have to do an in depth analysis of their minds and bodies." He looks at Karin. "Apologies, but I don't know if we have adequate means up here to do so. Technologically speaking, of course." He lets out a sigh. "We would have to risk it until our medical check in Earth's orbit. But by then it might be too late. If we wait for concrete evidence, it might be too late."

'Amongst the group of conspirators' Karin shudders. She hates this feeling of paranoia and subterfuge. She thinks back to long ago when she used to surf the South African waves to the raw power, freedom and simple choices. She doubts whether she'll be there again. Still,
Amongst the group of conspirators Karin says,"Then we must force them to show their hands before we make contact. Then, if we kill them, they will be part of the losses on Pluto and we are acting in defence. I feel that after we pass the asteroid belt and we are in range, then we have returned to the home side and it would be classed murder." She pauses, "It will be exceedingly difficult to catch them out because they act so rationally. I haven't managed it so far. Anyone got any ideas?"

"I dinna ken how to trip them up," said Robert, "but it'd be murder if we killed them before we're through the belt or after. We canna get away with pretending they died on Pluto. Everything's logged on this ship, and they record their own personal logs too, which will be encrypted. There will be other evidence they were aboard, like oxygen consumption statistics. Once we return to Earth, they'll go over this ship with a fine-toothed comb. If they find something, or if they find out something that should be there is missing, we've had it. You canna kill Alexander Kaiser's personal friend and expect to walk away like nothing happened."

Re: IC-Ep 4-Take the Long Way Home(Everyone else)
"I hadn't even thought about that..." Alison says in despair. "I mean, I didn't expect to get away with it... But I don't really know how to get them to trip up - I just know in my gut that they aren't themselves." Alison stares hopelessly at the floor, "The only thing I can think of is to make sure they know that the Mi-Go are a real threat and to keep watch on the COs even when we get back to Earth... that or one of us kills them and claims that they were under Mi-Go control..." Alison says that last part knowing that no one would agree that it was a viable course of action, but as a last resort in the event of clear evidence of mind control it was the only option she could see.
Re: IC-Ep 4-Take the Long Way Home(Everyone else)
In a heavy voice, "You are right, murder would make us even less human than them. I only thought, if we could prove they were Mi-Go somehow, then we'd be justified." Karin ponders, "I could test them again and then say they are unfit for command, and, just to be safe, would they mind stepping down from command until we are back at the space station. At least then it would all be in the report, following correct procedure and Earth-Command may ay least be wary when we docked. They couldn't afford to risk the Kaiser, even for his best friend."

Re: IC-Ep 4-Take the Long Way Home(Everyone else)
Karin quietly talks through the options with the others. She admits she has already considered poison in her darkest hours but that would be no different to a gun- murder. She had already tried making Bruce unconscious but he was still weird when he woke up. She suggests the option: of secretly warning Earth that the ship is carrying some sort of alien contagion that will affect Earth as soon as they dock. Would that be possible? Any option that involved flying anywhere other than back to Earth Base (e.g. to confront Mi-Go on Pluto) was no option as the only pilots were the General himself and Capt. Desjardins who didn't seem concerned about the problem and was unlikely to alter course. She also suggests confronting the General with his psychological profile to see what he does. Any other ideas?

Re: IC-Ep 4-Take the Long Way Home(Everyone else)
Karin waits to find Capt. Desjardin for a quiet chat. "Captain, I know we haven't seen eye to eye and I can understand why you may distrust me; I'm sorry you haven't been in for counseling. It's not good to keep things bottled up inside. I should know." she says ruefully. "I'm afraid we will be putting Earth in grave danger if we dock. I fear we are allowing the Mi-Go a foothold on our planet. There is no proof for we are dealing with something alien. maybe I am just paranoid but it isn't just me who has seen signs that something is very wrong on this ship." She sighs. "If I do nothing to save our planet for fear of being wrong and the worse happens..." She looks at Juliette candidly. "What should we do?"
