Captain Mark's Dilemma

Jada Marks: This is Captain Jada Marks. I'm setting down, for posterity, my deliberation over the fate of the shuttle Advent. I'm unable to determine with confidence if the Advent departed before being contaminated by the life forms presently overwhelming Talos I. Best guess based on telemetry data - Advent departed approximately thirty minutes prior to the first incident report logged by security. Thirty minutes. It is within that narrow gap of uncertainty I must decide whether or not to remote detonate the shuttle and its five passengers. They may very well be flying a cargo hold full of... mimics to an unsuspecting Earth. They may not.

Omar Bolivar: Captain! We could sure as hell use that golden gun right about now- (Gun Shots)

Jada Marks: I don't- (Mimic Sounds)
