"Um...what?"

GWG, would connecting Selina's soul to Angel's be alright? They'd be Soul Sisters! 

Scratch that, double corruption.

Angel would be fine with it if Selina was.

It might just be cached in your computer but unavailable for others.

I'm not entirely certain how or if that would work.

"Lets have... Have Angel decide what... What she wants..." Selina puts a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"Yeah, I think that I'm really the important one...wait...c-can we try to get this done soon?"

"That is technically a correct term. A corruption, contagion, taint, et cetera."

Yeah, would this be me or what?

"Did I say exorcist? Oh yeah, I did. I should rephrase. It isn't taking the demon out per say, more like doing a ritual that is tuned to telling a demon to get out. There are many different rituals that a person can do starting with a simple one that lets the user not be tainted for say, forty eight hours. If we had a better exorcist we could have him set the time to permanent. But I am middling at best, however I am the better one for this simply because the ritual is risk free. I mean they use it to teach new recruits the basics it's so easy."

"...Yuri, do you think a couple days is long enough to get my soul stronger?"

"From the materials, a sort of cleansing ritual to remove the taint. I would assume it would be done in intervals depending on how quickly the corruption spreads."

Whoa, hold on, what "taint"?

"Not exactly. You see exorcisms like the ones you see on T.V actually have founding in controlling daemons. I know, I studied through a school started by the great exorcist himself."

Not a big fan of exorcisms, here...
"No one cares. This isn't about you. Um...let's try--"

"Exorcism would be a dangerous route, Kyle. And it would remove Nuriel entirely. That is its function. With how badly their spirits are entwined, it may kill her."

"Oh. Let's not try that."

Also GWG half the time your avatar just entirely disappears, might wanna do something about that.

I haven't ever seen it disappear. Weird.

Holy crap, how big IS this ship?

Let's assume that 60% of the ship is life support, cryoberths, and such, with 40% being used for engineering and the ship's actual purpose.
Let us further assume that a cryoberth is about 1x1x2 meters, while the life support and such for a single crew member is around 3 meters cubed. Hence, the volume would be ([27*31,000]+[2*18,000])*(5/3) m², or a bit under 1.5 million cubic meters (1.5 cubic kilometers). This is a relatively conservative estimate, assuming that a human could live in a 10-foot cube and that relatively little space was set aside for the ship's purpose. Whatever the exact size, it's on the kilometer scale.

If scap doesn't mind Nuriel being a demon (with implied non-fire powers), then I can't imagine he'd freak out over the occasional, draining Mama Bear super-mode.
