Once forcefields are down and the self-destruct sequence is engaged, any pilots that want it are getting a speedster express back to the hangar to get on ships. Tommy needs someone to get him over there post haste. Once there, between speed and strength, he'll be able to move their companions and the Agri, no problems.
Except... Well, we can't make this easy, right? About three-quarters of the way through the evacuation process Tommy's going to get hit by the spit. He hasn't taken the immunization. Could you imagine how HORRID it would be to have slowed reflexes when you're running a few hundred miles per hour and you need to take corners? Nope, that'd be a splatter. So, Tommy's going to get spit on, and given his speedster metabolism guess who is going to go from zero to bad trip pretty instantly?
This guy.
At that point Tommy will of course won't be helping anyone do anything, even if the ship is about to explode. So who, I ask, saves the hero? Volunteers for trying to corral or knock out a speedster and get him the fuck to a medic or just tied up and on a ship?
Sub-Event? Stop That Speedster?
