In the back of his mind, Rastun wondered about how long the crew of the Nadesico would stay knocked out.  He felt that it's been quite a while since Lance drugged them with the kool-aid, and them waking up right in the middle of this situation would be inopportune, even locked in their cabins as they are.  Hopefully, the drug lasts long enough to keep them unconscious until after they dealt with this problem.
