Wolf 359/Awesome

• Eiffel goes up against Hilbert, who has betrayed the crew and has reprogrammed Hera into aiding him, armed with only an oxygen mask, a cigarette, and a vocoder. He wins.
• Lovelace's reunion with Hilbert. Which is to say, making the ordinarily stoic doctor panic and strangling him until Minkowski forces her to stop.
• Eiffel managing to single-handedly survive being trapped aboard Lovelace's out-of-control escape pod and avoiding being stuck hurtling into deep space with practically zero resources or equipment. The entire crew is rightfully impressed that he managed to live through what was effectively a death sentence.
• Hera's threat about what she'll do to Hilbert if he fails to save Eiffel from the decima virus.

Hera: Normally my decorum protocols constrain how I address station officers, but I need what I'm about to say to actually sink into Doctor Hilbert's pathetic twisted little murderer's head. Hilbert: What it is you want? Hera: What it is I want is to give you a friendly reminder of what's at stake for you personally. Officer Eiffel? He's your deadman's switch. If you let him die, or if you do anything that doesn't fall under the category of Do No Harm, I will go off. I will rain acid on your ass. I will crank the temperature in the room so high that your skin will crack, and bubble, and burn. I will vent you into space through a hole the size of a quarter. And if I am feeling very, very generous, I won't do all those things slowly. Have I made myself clear?
