"Human Error" quest and Paladin Danse

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this, but it kinda deals with spoilers.



Near the end of "Human Error", at the end of the conversation with Dr. Chambers, Danse's reactions to the choices we have don't seem to make sense. I'm not sure if this is a bug, or if I'm just not understanding the nuances of the conversation going on.



Choices:


  1. Covenant's a refuge?

  2. Continue your work, then.

  3. That's a deal I won't accept.

  4. Don't kill the girl. Spare her.

Results:


  1. Loops back to the above choices after some dialogue from Dr. Chambers.

  2. Danse says, "Wrong move, soldier. This woman's work was a threat and she needed to be neutralized." No rep change with Danse; Dr. Chambers moves to kill the girl.

  3. Compound goes hostile, and [Danse disliked that.].

  4. Danse says, "I suggest you hand her over. Right. Now." [Danse disliked that.], and Chambers moves to kill the girl.

Now, I can understand Danse disliking going against the Compound's intentions, as they're working against the Institute and the synths (like the Brotherhood), so he wouldn't like killing the Compound members, nor would he like asking for the girl to be spared. However, his dialogue when siding with the Compound doesn't make sense, especially when compared with the other options. If he considers Chambers to be a threat, then why would he dislike killing her? Now, of course, at this point in the quest we have no concrete evidence whether or not the girl is a synth. Chambers herself says it's only a 70% probability of being a synth. I can totally understand that Danse would consider five human deaths for every synth death to be acceptable in this pursuit, so then why would he consider her work to be a threat? It seems like he'd be in favor of the Compound's goals.



In case it matters, (in case this might be a bug), I don't have Danse's Trait yet, but I think I'm close.



I don't know. Something just doesn't make sense to me here. Maybe it's a bug, but maybe I'm just not getting the nuances. Thoughts?

Hard to explain it to you without spoilers, and assuming is your first playthrough i won't spoil anything like this, but yeah, he's deeply confused and there's a reason for it.



Anyway:


2 - Chambers being a major treat than any synth due to the unhetical and imprecise way to obtain datas, which costs more innocents lifes than it effectively protects. thus the dislike.


3 - if there's a chance for the captured girl to be a synth (which lately proves true) that'd be going against the creed of the brotherhood itself. thus the dislike.


4 - that'd be the main point showing the danse confusion, you're going to discover it later one why.



He sides against what the dr. chambers is doing, but also against freeing a possible synth spy.



I'd keep covenant friendly to be honest but thats about you, to me looked silly to just waste bullets on such a pointless gunfight and gain nothing in return, while i could save everything, have the settlement AND my bullets. :D
