keep thinking of beaming them over here, but what about the opposite, and beam
ourselves into the escape pod. Master Chief Brown and I go over, with
Transporter beacons attached to our person, get over, stun the person, then hit
them with an isolinear tag. You then beam them back to the Exeter. Assuming
there are no booby traps that is. But I've been thinking about that."</span></p>

booby traps, but then again we didn't really hang around long enough for a good
internal scan. If I was me with a device so important I wouldn't booby trap it,
I would guard it. It's the Holy Grail, a modern day Knights Templar might be
over there, ready to attack but more importantly protect; there is only one
life sign, he can take it"</span></p>

"The other option to consider is, well, blowing up the pod from a safe
distance. Sure the reaction might create an unstable planet, incorporating the
debris around it. But think about it, it's in a pretty open area of space,
without too much collateral damage. The planet would then form, age rapidly,
and then, well die. I mean... I dunno. Wouldn't that be the safe play, like say
we can't get whoever is in there, and its not necessarily safe to tow the
sucker back to the Exeter. Can we risk waiting for the Exeter to finish at the
planet, then come back to it. Say for example while the Exeter is
finishing things on the planet, some unfriendly species finds it. I mean could
you imagine if the Founders found it, and it reignited a new Dominion war, and
oh yeah, now we have shapeshifters with a doomsday weapon." Billy stopped.
"Sorry that is too extreme. I don't know what came over me. Please ignore
it."</span></p>
