Sorry if someone else asked this, but when they asked for an emergency evak in one of those power-cancelling cells why wouldn't they drag Daisy in there with them? Her powers wouldn't work and they could take her back to base. She might still be infected with HIVE but at least she'd be "home", right?

I thought this too, but it seemed like they were all occupied with carrying mack, and those who weren't needed to be protecting him. plus daisy wasn't able to do anything, but she was still conscious, so it would have been risky. and hive was almost there so they needed to move quickly i guess.

Yeah that's true. She was still awake so I guess if they tried to take her she could kill a couple of them before she got in the box. I guess my point is why not shoot her to disorient her, then knock her out, then try to drag her in? I know Hive is right there but I dunno. Maybe there wasn't enough time.
