SERIOUSLY, MASSIVE SPOILERS AHEAD. CLICK HERE FOR FULL BREAKDOWN OF EVENT OPTIONS

Option A - "Grit your teeth and drop him off planetside.":

It was good while it lasted, but that ship has sailed.

You take your last look at the figure of Wulfbanes as the ramp closes. Good riddance.

Result:

• Wulfbanes gains pilot tags: Rebellious and Unstable
• Wulfbanes loses pilot tag: Dependable
• Wulfbanes leaves the company

Option B - (Requirement: Commander has skill Guts 5 or higher) "Lock him up, have him cool down.":

You rush in and overpower him. Moments later your crew helps to restrain him.

Wulfbanes has clearly gone insane, and as long as he is a danger to himself and others, he will remain in solitary confinement.

It will take a toll on your staff to keep monitoring his condition, but you're not going to lose a capable pilot over a blasted animal. Oh, and you'll dock his pay while he's in the brig.

Result:

• Wulfbanes gains pilot tags: Rebellious and Unstable
• Wulfbanes loses pilot tag: Dependable
• Wulfbanes unavailable for 20 days
• Company Mech Tech skill reduced by 4 for 20 days
• Company C-Bills increased by 20,000

Option C - "Make an example out of this rebel.":

You take your last look at the still figure of Wulfbanes. You stow your pistol and bark: "I won't have anyone desert over a blasted animal. This will be the last of it. You are proud members of <Company Name>. You are expected to uphold the dignity and honor beholden to your station."

You are the Commander, and they have been reminded of their place in the hierarchy:

Be-neath you.

You survey the cowered looks of your crew. You made your point. You might run a tighter ship, but you might have a harder time hiring when word of this spreads.

Result:

• Wulfbanes dies (Listed cause of death: "Suddenly when in apparent good health")
• Commander gains pilot tags: Assassin and Command Experience
• Reputation with Mercenary Review Board decreased by 30

Note: Choosing any of these options unlocks another possible event called "Backing Out"
