I think number one is flawed. It seems implied that we have multiple staff members. Unless all of the staff members are young and frail, it feels too hasty to make a judgment off only two bodies.

Number two might be a better route, though I kinda hate to admit it since I'd probably be on a shortlist of tinkerers. It'd be a more secure route if we knew why they prioritize the monitors, but that's something we can only speculate on.

Looking at the people who pushed Diva's execution also sounds good to me, perhaps as a starting point if nothing else.
