How do you get her off it feels like the game is just over once she asks you to do that
The current version was made in a rush for a game jam and is a little... anti-climactic XD
I'm working on an update and hope to address that (among other things), but at the moment once the pilot is so...distracted that she completely abandons the ship controls and the mission you are doomed. In the future it should be possible to go further with her and then resume flying while she recovers.
