Killing her outright would definitely trigger a massive backlash, which wouldn't be beneficial to his plan to seize actual control of the Exiled Government. It would be best to operate subtly, like pinning Ruth's death on this native civilization they encountered.
"Heh."
Garcia let out a cold laugh.
"Capture her and lock her in the detention pod."
At the command, a large group of advanced soldiers surged forward, ignoring Ruth's shouts as they forcefully dragged her into the detention pod.
Then, Garcia swiftly ordered the fleet to head to a nearby planet. He had Ruth's detention pod air-dropped down and instructed his men to pilot a spaceship stolen from the players to the surface, awaiting his orders.
Once everything was ready, Garcia contacted the other members of the Exiled Government.
"There's been a major incident, Ruth was attacked by a native civilization on her way here. I'm rushing over urgently to save her. If you're available, you'd better come quickly too!"
