Aubrey has limited area scanning through her implants, but that only applies to electronics. Khate and Scarlet are both ironweavers, which technically allows both to do little bit of feels, but both have backstory specialized implants. Khate's are typically used for fabrication of objects (and likely repairs), while Scarlet's are designed for medical use (and are at the moment a bit too overtaxed to be used for scanning).
Sorry for not posting an action in time... Can we assume Aubrey followed Boris along?
Of course. I hadn't actually originally intended for that to be a full turn, I was just going to update some dialogue, and then it turned out that most people had actions to parse, so things went from there.
so is there anything I can actually do at this point other than accept the proposed treatment and pray that Scarlet doesn't receive critical brain damage from it?
Always I thing I do when I'm critical cursed/sick/injured in a D&D campaign: try to imagine what I'd be doing if I WASN'T facing the specter of imminent doom. If, for the moment, there's no option you can take to ameliorate your illness, then act as if you were not ill.

Ok, Tir, really important point here that I'm not sure you're understanding. The freighter and Ka's ship are still directly attached to one another. The freighter is not really armed. At all. It's a civilian vessel. It poses about as much threat to the Reunion as a potato does to a 1959 Ford Galaxie Skyliner.
The positions of Ka's ship and shuttles are reversed, but other than that, your little linear map is accurate enough.
It is interesting to wonder why Ka isn't blowing up the shuttles though, isn't it?
Also, the shuttles, as before, do not have their own bore drives. Giving solutions to them does no good. Vark can use a solution, the shuttles can't.
