I’d been investigating possibilities with the SecSystem, trying to see if I could make it override the governor module and rescind the order. I’d have to do a restart and reload first, and there was no way to do that surreptitiously; targetControlSystem would know something/somebody was in the system. Also, taking orders from/making friends with a rogue SecUnit killware definitely fell under the category of "stuff SecUnits are not allowed to do" and the governor module might fry it anyway. That left only one option and me trying to gently hint about it wasn’t working.
