Issue with Event Whorizon and Dr Teyaal's ship encounter

[ScaleTail]

If the Sidewinder has been stolen, Dr Teyaal is still hostile, and the Event Whorizon encounter triggers on the way to Zheng Shi, then after completing Event Whorizon Steele will be deposited directly at Zheng Shi, bypassing Dr Teyaal's ship combat. However, combat will still have been started, a "You're still in combat, you ninny!' message will show, and the inventory will be blocked.

Not sure if taking Demon Queen Syri or not affects the outcome.

Leaving Zheng Shi, returning, and fighting Dr Teyaal resolves the issue. Saving and reloading also does.

The attached save is during Event Whorizon. After leaving the Spatial Anomaly on this save, the issue should trigger.

Hopefully fixed for the next release.

There was a line at the end of the Event Whorizon event that was overriding the natural off-boarding process for flying to a location. So the fight with Teyaal was set up and started but was instantly bypassed before beginning the combat proper, leaving your character in combat limbo. The fix removes that problematic line and the fight with Teyaal should start up properly after the fight with Demon Queen Syri.
