Suppose I have Savage Shores Wraith in my fleet, and he has snagged a couple crew. Can the crew that he saves be unloaded from the ship, or are they stuck there with him?

Ability: Whenever any crew is eliminated, roll a d6; on a result of 6, assign the crew to this ship. Its nationality changes to match the nationality of this ship and it becomes linked to this crew.

The Code entry doesn’t specify, but does have this line:

“If this ability is cancelled, eliminated, turned facedown, or removed from this ship, any previously recovered crew cannot use their abilities (unless allowed by some other ability or effect), they take up one cargo space each, and do count against the point limit of the ship. If this results in an illegal situation (the combined crew exceed the ship’s cargo and/or point limit) you must immediately resolve it by removing the excess crew from the game.”

The part about “cannot use their abilities” is meant to be applied for the ship they’re on, correct? Not what would happen if they were moved somewhere else in the fleet?
