The secret Upper Management doesn't want you to know.

Was performing the Weekly Core Hunt with my fellow Dwarf before the changeover for the week, Carrying Doretta back to the ship after a successful Ommoran pickup, happened to find a Core stone. The Retrieval pod was dropped... and obviously I put the most important thing in there.

Dotty.

Lo and behold, my game crashed the moment I tried to place her in the pod.

I rejoin. this requires further research, I attempt to put her in the pod. It crashes again. (Much to the chagrin of the host)

Okay, so we rejoin, cool. I put the Core stone in, as requested, and pick up dotty, look in that direction.

Crashed again.

I rejoin, carry Dotty VERY CAREFULLY back to the ship with no further issues, and can't help but wonder, Is Dotty not worthy of a retrieval pod? Does R&D not want her?

In all seriousness, is this a known bug?
