After yesterday’s stunning request for asylum, Ambassador Sygan has been placed in a secure wing of the Presidium while the Citadel Council deliberates its course of action. Questions have arisen about the legal, ethical, and physical implications of allowing the emissary to remain in Dr. Jordan Detweiler’s body while the exobiologist’s mind remains in the virtual alien world. When asked what the Council should do if the aliens were to hold Detweiler hostage, Detweiler’s daughter, Kyra, said, “Pull the plug. Remind them who’s really in control.” The Council has already ruled out this option, citing the moral implications of of wiping out the last remnants of an entire civilization.
