Captain : Calibrate your hand teleporter

Configuring a teleporter to pull you out if things get dire is a good idea. Though, if your hands are full, you won't be able to use it quickly! The right solution in times like these is delegation. ResearchDirector's been on teleporter duty this whole time, might as well keep a good thing going.

Captain: ResearchDirector, get AI on the line. Keep everything calibrated to pull anyone out who needs it.
ResearchDirector: Ah, indeed. I've no interest and no skill in "getting my hands dirty", as far as this stand-off goes.
ResearchDirector: The portals will be available, if things get too dangerous.

Captain : You know your station like ChiefEngineer does. Try to find some kind of weakness or entry point.
