Given that I waas one of the people who said she probably was considered someone special by her people to be entrusted with the role of preistess guardian. Those traits do *not* qualify her to fight, handle demolitions work, pilot a spacecraft, do computer repair, pick locks, or any of the essential functions done by members of the crew. I will say she would probably have been quick to learn how to operate the teleport,

Furthermore, the Federation had done nothing to her or her people, as far as we know. Why drag her into a dangerous fight she has nothing to do with
Better to take your chances on the Liberator, though, than to spend the rest of your life on a radiation-soaked planet rife with primitives, surely?
