I'm with Gunny here. Samantha, you need to reconsider and edit your post. Both from a technical standpoint and a courtesy one its not kosher. Why not just fly after the shuttle and go with the group to do it together? That was the point after all.
When a nuclear reactor goes critical one of two things happens. It either has a meltdown and incinerates the facility it is in or it just up and explodes... Neither are appealing. When a nuclear reactor is going critical every second is important because you have only minutes to lock down the fuel rods before a disaster occurs. I can't imagine that an Aether reactor could possibly be much more forgiving. When the reactor on Suites armor began to fail because the exhaust was blocked the computer inmediately engaged a shutdown sequence. Candon was overriding an emergency safety feature. He was taking a gamble from the beginning and he is taking a gamble again when he decided to fly back to the crashed fighter. For her to teleport to his location and carry Candon should not be viewed as an attempt to supersede an admiral's authority. Rather, she is working to avert the death of the only intelligence officer serving on the ship. It is also important to note that much of the data that has been collected is currently saved on his his computer. Additionally, he is also trying to keep control over a prisoner. With a critical failure that is not going to be an easy task. He is currently being cooked alive in his armor and obviously the pilot in his captivity is dangerous. Even though her carrying of Candon will allow him to shut down all of the power hungry systems it will not allow the suit to cool down, but it will prevent the reactor from heating up more.
Time is really of the essence in this rescue. I've been deciding his fate with a d20.
