Status Updates From USS Hamilton: Miasma Burn

"but I want him back in the brig tomorrow,"

"Back" in the brig? You never put him there in the first place, like I suggested. On top of that, he's a stowaway on a warship in the middle of a state of war. You'd be entirely within your rights and duties to blow him out an airlock

"The radiation in there would be lethal to any biological being."

Did the author forget that Hardy is partially organic?

"“Orders, Captain Quintos?”"

That's 'Fleet Commander Quintos'

"“Well, per my contract with US Space-Navy, I am to have unilateral administration rights over all onboard sanctuaries. It is in my contract.”"

Per his contract, that is valid for any space navy warships. Unfortunately for him, the Hamilton does not fit that criteria. It is now a private warship. A privateer, if you'd like, that works with the US Navy and thus, immune to your contract

"He’ll need to stay in his quarters for the duration.”"

You mean the brig, right?

"“There is no unmistakable evidence to prove that.""

Yes there is. Did the author forget his own book? There's a video recording of Milo's murder. That should have a time burned into it. Cross reference that with the time of the Grish attack and there you go.

finished..good read will read more of this series
