Mercurians and killing to save others.

I suspect many Superiors would ask "why didn't you jump in front of the bullet instead of shooting the human?"

There can be some perfectly good answers to that question (for example, "they were too far away for me to be able to do that"), but it would subtly remind the Mercurian that he's supposed to be looking for non-lethal solutions to this sort of problem... at least, non-lethal for the human.
