Veeka didn't want to dilly-dally.
Her reasoning was simple. Ramir was many things—a traitor, a coward, an opportunist—and precisely because of that, there was a very real chance that someone had been left behind to wait for their return.
If so, that meant that those comrades loyal to Captain Zahkar were in danger.
And she wasn't going to sit around to risk that.
The decision to allow her to go wasn't made lightly. But it was something they knew they'd have to do unless they wanted to continue destabilizing the area with that open wormhole.
Still, she was patched up—just enough to look more pirate than patient. And while it was not enough to return her to peak condition, it was more than enough to allow her to survive.
Well, hopefully.
More importantly, she was given what seemed to be a pack of something called banana chips and a pill meant to prolong their Captain's life if the issue was really just contamination.
