This is not based on any lore implications, (well they do have a story together about tricking max'o'kane but thats about it) This is simply because hikensha and kreyang are from my top 2 favorite species, the hissho and drakken. under 2 circumstances.

1: they can have 2 other teammates with them, but the 2 random accompaying teammates will die at the end.(its happened to me more than once)

2: they start in either the infirmary pod or the basic escape pod.

i will vote yes, the 2 make it out, not simply because they are from my favorite species but they make for a very flexible pair, being jack of all trades, they may not be experts in a single skill, but they are able to adapt to changing situations easier than most, and being able to work on modules, can increase say food or industry output faster than normal, allowing stronger defenses to be built.

while my vote may be that of partial bias supporting the hissho and drakken. What do you think, would the 2 be able to make it out, or will they die trying?
