I’d like to highlight this part. Pidge is a MF beast. She is pragmatic to a fault and she prepares for literally ANY eventuality. This reminds me of the comics where Pidge says essentially the same thing:
I’m glad they brought that aspect of her character to the foreground in the actual show, I think it’s fascinating
And it’s not that she’s cold or unfeeling or suspicious towards her team either; she straight up admits it’s a bizarre thing to do in the comics
And in the show she says she never thought she’d have to use it, it seemed to legitimately pain her to have to do what she did. Not to mention that she couldn’t actually bring herself to lay a hand on Shiro when he first went rogue. She does care deeply for her teammates and she’ll never intentionally harm them unprovoked
But if the absolute worst case scenario ever happens (like in S6E5), she will take action, and she’ll be prepared and know exactly how to do it most effectively
