Incapacitating an android in magnetized liquid oxygen?
A space opera sultan has a problem. Sentient androids are haram, but an unwelcome android spy has saved his life and helped prevent a coup. Rather than have the android destroyed as his ministers demand, the sultan has declared it will be encased in a dewar sarcophagus filled with magnetized liquid oxygen and disposed of off-planet. (Apparently there is an ancient electromagnetic dewar sarcophagus in the basement of the royal palace for exactly this purpose).
The android's main characteristic, aside from being an abomination in the shape of a human female, is its mutable skin which can be deformed to fit sockets, data jacks, and terminals. It's presumed the android can also transmit and receive electromagnetic signals through the skin "“ creating a universal interface to hack and control all data systems.
The android is probably not invulnerable or particularly strong, as it has been separated from its armored exo-suit. Actual operational parameters of the android are unknown. For the moment it is cooperating.
The sultan needs to fully incapacitate the android "“ at least until it becomes someone else's problem. Truth be told, he doesn't really care if the android survives the ordeal, but he also feels he begrudgingly owes it a life-debt. Securing the safety of his planet is the priority.
What is your advice to the sultan?
