Pokey's feelings on this event and what they should do are long and varied, so I'm going to try to keep them as notes/bulletin points as we go along for the sake of clarity and brevity.
Does your character want to save Libra Station itself? No. While Pokey was willing to work on the station and repair it before, he now views it as a lost cause. Part of that is due to the fact of how the place will inevitably just fall into disrepair anyway, as well as the fact that Madame has openly told him she doesn't believe any of the Great Fleet is left. At best, the station is doomed to failure years down the line with only a small chance of anyone finding it and helping. At worst, the place devolves into something like the hellholes most of the people here are from, one way or another, either for people still in the Chariot Unit or if they somehow find a way to bring people through some hijinks in to repair the station or, far worse, continue running trials indefinitely.
Does your character want to save Madame? Absolutely. The one thing Pokey wants for sure is to save Madame. After talking with the AI, he believes she at least should be preserved out of all this. A big part of that is genuine bias, but he does think she's mostly an innocent and should be saved. On that note, Pokey is opposed to reprogramming her. He wants Madame's desires and wants to be respected. At the same time, Pokey will accept reprogramming her to save her, because as he talks to her it becomes more and more obvious, to him at least, that her current programming keeps her from having autonomy. He doesn't want to take Madame with them by force, but he would accept reprogramming her as a means to save her.
Does your character want to save the Chariot Unit? Yes. Pokey wants to save the Chariot Unit, but he mostly wants to do this because he views it as the best way to convince Madame to come with them. Pokey isn't in love with saving the Chariot Unit, and thinks that it's actually sort of cruel, but he's willing to if it could be a convincing part in getting Madame to come to the Meadous.
Does your character want to save the MODs? Pokey is torn on saving the MODs. On the one hand, he sure doesn't like the MODs or want them to be around, but Madame did express a desire for them to be brought to life like her, which he wants to fulfill for her. He's willing to save the MODs to save Madame, although he's not expecting many people to go for it.
