All the bad guys get a handbook at the beginning of the season:
"Evil Plots for Dummies"
On page 44 it says:
You outline your plan for your hapless (yet resourceful) hostages and take them along with you while you attempt to carry out your nefarious plan. However, it should be noted that your hapless (yet resourceful and by the way, violent) hostages are always planning your demise. If you are lucky, you will be able to say, 'Curses, foiled again!' before you get blown out the airlock.
