If for whatever reason one of these pawns loses an item (dropped a weapon when downed, ect) and you have them pick up another item from your own stock, it becomes linked to them and you can no longer access it normally.

The lock system is there so you can't reasonably steal any of their gear, which is fair, but in the unfortunate circumstance where they lose these items (usually a weapon since that drops on being downed), you're forced to either give up one of your own weapons permanently or have them go the rest of the stay without a weapon. The only real way to circumvent this is to actively down them again to take the weapon back, but that seems absurd for what the player is expected to do. Ideally it'd distinguish between what the pawn came in with and colony-owned items so you can better equip them for their stay if possible (add, never remove/replace.)
