it's pure stasis dementia.

Which is totally fine.

We'll i already explained it a few times why she's used one.
You have far too many intact limbs to have used an Amp before.
I gave her high Fate referencing the fact that she should be dead bit is lucky enough to not be.
Nobody is buying the explanation because it doesn't work. at all. using an amp Requires-Brain-Surgery-She'd-Never-Get. amps themselves are Not-Publicly-Available-Anywhere-Ever.
it's pure stasis dementia.
She noticeably throughout this has been willing to be operated on as long as she is in tge presense of people she trusts aka her parents so it's entirely possible she could go through with it and The amps weren't public that'd be stupid only a select few people got to use them mainly not crazy people ex abigails parents abigail and 2 or 3 others they were kept extremely secret and used minimally only whem nesscary i never said Abigail has not used them like 30 or 40 times I'd put the number at 3 maybe 4 times maximum.

still stasis dementia but that doesn't matter. What does matter is Abigail has repeatedly come within a hair's breadth of attacking teammates while safely on-ship and everyone interacting with her was being kind and non-hostile. She has no self-control. On top of that she has little skill with the things and almost no mindpoints to work with. And she has a Lurker-infested amp. The question isn't if she's going to kill her teammates, the question is how many and if they're going to be permadead.

Xan is more trustworthy.

The artwork relates to the encasing of the HMRC in metal by Pancaek during the Mission of Many People.))

Her Self control has improved somewhat but i agree she should get a different weapon and....not stasis dementia becuase it has logical reasoning and well it's part of her backstory.

Not really, there is no reason I see why her parents would give her an amp, as those require brain surgery to install. A manip would make far more sense, and even then, it'd be beyond negligent to give a military-grade weapon capable of obliterating entire cities with a single error to a child. Plus, as a general rule of thumb, if a character requires that much justification OOC, you may as well just call it stasis dementia.

Stasis Dementia. Period.

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

And Larry kinda gets blueballed in all this; just left with a raging bone spear and no where to put it.

Why are we even arguing about this? Nothing about the character makes sense.
Arguing over it is just a waste of time and effort, the player isn't going to suddenly change.

In any case, you might want to consider selling your amp to another player if you truly no longer want it.  I think several characters might pay quite a bit for it.

What is the template you are drawing these people and places and procedures from becuase yes if she came from a Normal planet stasis dementia makes sense but where she comes from insanity insanity everywhere you can't really apply much logic or rational reason to decisions done there.

Yeah i won't change becuase i made backstory i compared it to this lore made it so it could reasonably make sense put her on a planet of insane people were this is possible becuase of the place and the people it's possible becuase my backstory i made for her made a location where it would be possible.

Kill her and take her brain. Then whenever anyway disagrees with you, just say "would you rather speak to Abagail?" while pointing at it.

This is pretty much my entire thoughts on the subject. hence why ive posted one thing on the subject.
Abstract's backstory is pure stasis dementia. Whether they accept it, or whether we accept that they don't is irrellevant.

Now we should do more important things like be depressed about how piecewise didnt give us a descriptive writeup of the whole kangaroo court getting thrown out the airlock.

My mental image of it is that they just continued the trial like nothing happened even as they were getting blown out and fished out.
