Well, that leaves us with a few options...<br/><br/>We can continue and semi-NPC a character until we are sure of her status.  Whether we return her to the ship as sort of the "safe" spot.  Or just sort of semi-play her out with the group for minor interactions such as combat.<br/><br/>Or we can remove her from the plot.  Whether we kill the character or have her captured, etc.<br/><br/>Or well I suppose this can put the entire RP on hold.<br/><br/>Personally I say we find a way to continue, and get the others involved as originally intended.  And figure out what her RL status may be, before we make any "drastic" decision as to what we do with her character.
