A woman who rose to the rank of Navy Captain and Astronaut had to be a fairly remarkable person. I have to believe she just wigged out, because this behavior is so out of character. They ought to fine her for some misdemeanor and the Navy should let her retire.
I think it’s obvious she snapped. I’m not sure it will absolve her of guilt, though. I wonder if she’s gotten psychological help in the meantime.
Bust her to E3 and assign her to a garbage scow.
When you return to Earth they turn on.
In fact, T-cells that were never really working turn on.
There are a host of genetically driven conditions that can occur in association with T-cell overproduction of antibodies.
Among them are Scandinavian Porphyria, Celiac Disease, Lupus Erythematosis, and so on.
Those early photos after her arrest suggest she was suffering from Lupus, and I just bet her urine would turn purple in sunlight. The diaper is symptomatic of someone just now discovering the delights of intermittent Celiac.
None of this would have happened if she hadn't been returned from space.
