Have Chakraborty & Boris even asked Captain Patel anything after shooting him, patching him up, and weasel-checking him, or did they go straight to running through anti-mind-control options? Patel might be an un-tampered-with loyal agent of Klaus', who'd be ordered to evacuate the ship and crash it on Mechanicsburg when the time stop ended (or something like that).

IIRC, Boris (as a construct) can't be wasped (which doesn't mean he's immune to other mind control options); no idea about Captain Chakraborty, though I imagine the wasp eaters had a chance to sniff him when he greeted them and he's had whatever preventatives are available for known methods of mind control. The two of them and Captain Patel had been deliberately kept out of communications (by Klaus's orders? Patel's?). Boris only has Chakraborty's word on Patel's behavior and the lack of communications. Chakraborty could be compromised. Or this could be straight-up communication issues, with Klaus having had to send very limited and/or odd orders to work around being mind-controlled himself.
