[@Thundercrash] Couldn't she wear a disguise, like a hood or a helmet? Unless you're really dead set on her slumming on the USS Hepatitus for what could be quite a while real time, there's ways to get her involved without compromising her identity.

Being seen and shot is only half her concern, the other half is that she had agreed not to come back. And when Tia agrees to something, she will never go back on her word. 

I'm alright with that, I'll still be keeping an eye on things. It just so happens that current events are conflicting with her character traits.
